If a player can save enough by playing cheaper balls that they can afford to play more often it is certainly a win. In a two-piece model like the Wilson DUO Soft+, those will invariably manifest themselves at the cover layer. Why would you take a chance on any ball that (as MGS has proven in the March 2019 ball test) doesn’t have the performance characteristics of a consistently good ball?

Due to the nature of the golf ball painting process it is virtually impossible to have the paint spread perfectly evenly. Your support means we can continue to test, review and report unbiased information to you and all golfers. Built with a smaller core and designed with a semi-translucent highly visible and colourful matte cover – which minimises sun glare off the cover at address – the new DUO Optix is longer and even brighter than the previous model to ensure the ball can be easily tracked in-flight or found on all types of ground. Seniors and other slower swing-speed players with a feel preference may be willing to overlook the speed penalty. It is important to point out here that this does not impact on performance at all but visually it will be off-putting to some golfers.That all happened because I’m in the fairway a lot more often because with this ball I’m straighter off the tee.

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.

But does that extra tiny drop of paint in a few dimples really make any difference to the accuracy of a shot? The Wilson Staff Model is one of the best premium golf balls on the market and a ball that is being played on professional tours around the world. The best premium golf balls come in alternative versions that spin slightly less for players who prefer a firmer feel or more control off the tee.For me soft flew just as far while the premiums did work better on short game – likely due to cover – so for me the whole slow is soft was nonsense. If you want every last RPM, try the DUO Soft Spin, but I think most players will be satisfied with the DUO Soft. A lot of people overlook them but they actually make some really solid golf balls, which we’ll be comparing here.
