As a low spin player, that’s not ideal for me, but higher spin players may welcome the stronger ball flight. This low-compression Wilson ball promises extreme distance through a hard ionomer cover material that optimizes trajectory for maximum yardage and roll. Their first golf club, an R-90 sand wedge, was inspired by Gene Sarazen’s victory in the 1932 British Open. Of course, there’s nothing fun about a golf ball that doesn’t perform, so I put the new DUO family through its paces on the launch monitor and the course.

I tested their different models in a swing simulator over last winter, and found the ball that I liked most (due to feel and accuracy). You can instantly tell with a bounce test or hitting any club in the bag, they are the softest ball you will hit. 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.

The use of ionomer-based covers makes the soft feel golf balls more prone to scuffing and cutting and thus less durable than premium golf balls. Formerly known as DX2 Optix the new and improved Duo Optix is long, gives hardcore performance and exceptional feel.

Even after just a couple of shots with the Staff Model R you can see the ball will often be dirty looking. We then repeated the test using a 7-iron and the results were equally impressive, beating some of the more expensive premium balls on the market in distance. 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! I used to play Srixon Q-Star but then switched to the Wilson duo 29-compression ball as temps dropped.It isn’t glossy white to begin with but it will quickly pick up grass stains, mud marks and will generally become discoloured in no time at all.

The Duo Soft Optix comes in red, green, orange, yellow, and pink as well as a Women’s DUO Soft in matte white. In a variety of bright neon colors, these balls are a constant reminder that we’re playing a game that’s supposed to be fun. Not only that, but because it spins much less it will also allow average golfers to find more fairways as it won't deviate as much with side spin from hooks or slices. We created this site to test out different products and find the best gear and tips for the average weekend hacker.Off the tee like most balls out there if I put the right swing on it it goes just fine and I usually don’t miss many fairways nor do I with a ProV1.
