What is the compression of the Wilson Staff Model R?
The Wilson Staff Model R has a compression rating of 88. 88 sits in the middle of the market. It works for most amateur swing speeds (90 to 105 mph driver) without being too firm or too mushy.
Is the Wilson Staff Model R a tour ball?
Yes. The Staff Model R is a tour-tier ball — 3-piece construction with a Urethane cover for high greenside spin and full short-game control.
What swing speed is the Wilson Staff Model R best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed in the 90 to 105 mph range — a typical mid- to low-handicap amateur. The 88-compression core balances feel and energy transfer.
Does the Wilson Staff Model R spin a lot around the green?
Yes — the urethane cover grips the grooves of a wedge in a way that ionomer or Surlyn covers cannot. The Staff Model R produces tour-level greenside spin (typically 9,000 to 11,000 wedge rpm), which is what allows pros to stop the ball quickly on firm greens.
How much does the Wilson Staff Model R cost?
MSRP is $45.00 per dozen. That is in line with flagship tour-ball pricing.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the Wilson Staff Model R?
Pro shops and major retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy) sell the Staff Model R at full retail. Wilson's own website is the most reliable source — they sometimes offer free personalization that third-party retailers don't. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new.
