Providing ultimate versatility around the course for better players, the new Staff Model RB Utility iron is designed for use off the tee on long par threes, from the fairway reachable-in-two par fives and wherever you need a club that requires shot-shaping accuracy.

Featuring tour-design specifications with input from Wilson tour players, including three-time Major champion Padraig Harrington and four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner, the RB Utility iron has a sleek, thinner topline to appeal to the better player.

The shaping of the refined clubhead redistributes weight toward both the toe and sole, Wilson engineers achieved an optimized mid-to-low centre of gravity that enhances forgiveness, playability and power.

A hollow body construction produces enhanced ball speeds, shot shaping capability and aerodynamic efficiency, while strategically-placed rib structures inside the head create higher stability on miss-hits. A high strength C300 steel clubface achieves explosive ball speeds with a softer feel.

The new Staff Model RB Utility is available in 18°, 21° and 24° loft options (RH only) and comes fitted with a stock True Temper HZRDUS GEN 4 Black shaft and Golf Pride Z Grip. It has an RRP of £220.

Based on usage of past models, the UDI is designed for better players who are likely to play with P·Series irons, while the majority of DHY players have handicaps ranging from six to 18 handicap and a more likely to use a more forgiving set of irons, although both are designed to fit seamlessly in the P·Series range.

Matt Bovee, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge, “P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

P·UDI and P·DHY feature advanced thick-thin back wall construction, sound stabilisation bar, and deliberately distributed mass to maximise forgiveness. Each iron is individually optimised with every gram strategically placed to achieve specific performance goals with premium forged feel.

Identifying the difference between P·UDI and P·DHY starts with the CG position in each iron. P·UDI has mid CG right behind the centre of the face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight, while P·DHY has a lower centre of gravity to produce an easier to launch mid-to-high ball flight. Compared to a hybrid or high lofted fairway, the trajectory of P·UDI and P·DHY are still on the lower end.

Testing shows P·UDI is more forgiving than P·790 ,and P·DHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family. This makes P·DHY a perfect option for a player looking for a long iron replacement or one that struggles hitting higher lofted fairway woods.

P·UDI

The P·UDI shaping takes direct inspiration from working with Tour players to create a traditional iron shape that inspires confidence and is easy to play.

It has a moderate sole width, but narrower than the more forgiving P·DHY. P·UDI does, however, possess a more compact head size compared to P·790, serving as an alternative option for their long irons compared to other P·Series products.

P·UDI has a traditional iron shape with a raised face height, slimmer toplines and less offset than previous TaylorMade UDI products with a hint of the backbar from address to inspire confidence. The blade length of P·UDI is noticeably shorter than the P·DHY by roughly five millimetres. Despite P·UDI being more compact, it is still extremely forgiving.

Loft options: 2 (17°), 3 (20°), 4 (22°)

P·DHY

P·DHY is a story of centre of gravity through shaping with a slightly taller toe height, with more backbar visible from address and a lower face profile that helps drive CG low in the clubhead for easier launch. The wider sole aids in additional forgiveness through the turf while providing versatility.

Designed to deliver easy launch, increased forgiveness and enhanced consistency, a new internal weighting structure combines with proven technologies such as the forged hollow body construction with a high-speed 4140 face, SpeedFoam Air, Thru Slot Speed Pocket and up to 26g of tungsten mass.
Loft options: 2 (18°), 3 (20°) and 4 (22°).
