What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Staff Di11 is 32° and the Staff D100 is 31°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Staff D100 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the Staff Di11. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the Staff D100 averages 0.6° stronger, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (29° vs 27°).
The sets are built differently: the Staff Di11 runs 3-iron to SW (10 clubs), the Staff D100 4-iron to SW (9 clubs).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The Staff Di11 is listed as cast cavity back and the Staff D100 as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The Staff D100 arrived 3 years after the Staff Di11, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 32° to 31°.
Which should you choose?
The Staff D100 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2° stronger than the Staff Di11 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
