The Wilson Staff Model CB stands out as the best overall option for consistency and playability, while the MB delivers classic blade feedback. The distance-oriented XB flies 10 yards further, but its lower spin and hollow hybrid-like feel make it challenging to blend smoothly into a standard set without loft adjustments.

What they rate
Visually all three heads look refined and blendable at address

What they donβt
XB sound and feel off the face resemble a hybrid rather than an iron
Significant spin drop on XB (~700 RPM lower) complicates combo gapping
MB provides minimal forgiveness on toe or heel strikes
