Wilson Staff Golf Balls, Duo Optix

Product Information

In 2018 the Wilson Staff Duo was selected as a Golf Digest Gold Winner adding to its reputation as a quality golf ball. It’s a 35 compression which does indeed make it as soft as anything out there, while the VelocitiCOR aids greater distance. What is VelocitiCOR? According to Frank Simonutti, Director of Golf Ball Innovation for Wilson, it’s basically “steroids for golf balls”.Unlike golfers, golf balls are allowed to be enhanced with steroids. This is the golf blog of golf's 99%: The working stiff who plays at munis with ten-year-old clubs and whose family and work take precedence, but whose love of the game never diminishes. I think the best approach is to use a cheaper ball that finds the fairway when you’re starting out. Then you can upgrade as you get better. As for the all-popular Pro V1, you probably aren’t good enough for it until you can shoot in the 70s. Perhaps the most interesting golf ball in Wilson's current lineup is the new Staff Model R. From a construction standpoint, it mirrors the Staff Model and is Wilson’s second premium golf ball offering, designed for Tour-quality distances and feel. Like the Staff Model, the Staff Model R features a four-piece construction and Wilson’s V-COR core, which combine to produce explosive distances in the long game. It also delivers the control and feel that golfers want with their scoring clubs on full shots and around the green.

Wilson Duo Optix Golf Ball Review | Golf Monthly

One of the major selling points of the DUO Soft is the low spin off the driver, and it definitely delivers there. I played numerous rounds with the DUO Soft and felt like I hit much straighter drives than normal. On the launch monitor, I saw spin that was slightly lower than normal, which matched my on course observations. If you need to drop a little spin to maximize distance and hit more fairways, the DUO Soft and DUO Soft Spin can help. In addition to his editorial responsibilities, he was instrumental in developing MyGolfSpy's data-driven testing methodologies and continues to sift through our data to find the insights that can help improve your game. As we’ve mentioned previously, it’s not uncommon to find layer concentricity issues with Foremost-made balls. In a two-piece model like the Wilson DUO Soft+, those will invariably manifest themselves at the cover layer. There is a world of difference when it comes to performance of a low compression, two-piece ball like the DUO when compared to a higher compression, premium ball such as the ProV1 for example. We wanted to keep the same consistency and reliability that the DX-brand was renowned for in Europe, but add the new technology we have developed in the Wilson Innovation Centre in Chicago,” said Frank Simonutti, Global Director of Golf Ball Innovation at Wilson Golf.Again, what’s with the “soft is slow BS?” FOR WHO? For Tiger, probably yeah. For sub-90 swing speed it’s a whole different game. My best 9 holes were 4 over and this was the ball I was using. Yeah, it doesn’t bite the greens that well, but playing your second shot from the fairway makes the game so much easier.

True Price is how we quantify the quality of a golf ball. It's a projection of what you'd have to spend to ensure you get 12 good balls. Yeah, if you're making a big deal about how flawed painted golf balls are, you better make sure the painted ones you are selling are done differently to everyone else! While the second box measured was on average firmer, heavier and a bit larger, we didn’t see an obvious between those measurements and the core coloring. CoverTriad: This was a good shot but I didn’t quite get all of it. It went straight, landed just short of the green, and ran up onto the front edge of the green. I couldn’t tell how much spin it had but the ball felt pretty solid. Overall, this is my favorite Wilson ball by far and is one that I’d absolutely add to my bag. It feels awesome off the tee, it stops pretty well on the greens, and it’s cheaper than its competitors.
