What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Staff FG Tour 100 is 35° and the Staff Model Blade is 34°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Staff Model Blade should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the Staff FG Tour 100. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the Staff Model Blade averages 1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (21° vs 20°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 4° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the Staff FG Tour 100 runs 3-iron to GW (9 clubs), the Staff Model Blade 2-iron to PW (9 clubs).
Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Compact muscleback irons with minimal offset, thin toplines and the smallest sweet spot — built for shot-shaping over forgiveness. 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.
Both heads are listed as forged. 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.
There are 5 years between these sets (2014 and 2019), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 35° to 34°.
Which should you choose?
The Staff Model Blade is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the Staff FG Tour 100 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
