WILSONStaff DUO Optix Golf Ball

Great golf ball. I use them to play golf. Your use may be different. I usually hit them anywhere from 22 to 222 yards. I sometimes even find them after I hit them. They are round, so they do roll away when dropped on a sloped surface. They are hard enough to knock a fellow golfer out when struck right. They will dent vehicles and break glass also. As with any golf ball I use, I use the word fore, or four, or look out, a couple (well, maybe a few) times each round. They are durable balls as I have tested them by bouncing them off of trees, cart paths, highways, golf carts, rocks, buildings (wood and brick), and flower beds. They are waterproof but don't float by my experience. I've even hit a few of them mulligan's with them with no damage to the ball. They do seem to have a little fear of that hole with the flag sticking out of it that golf courses insist on putting at the farthest spot they can from what they call a Tee box. I do get a few RIDERS with this ball each time out. That's where you hit the ball far enough to actually get in the cart and RIDE to your next shot. I think it was Arnold Palmer that asked, Who would invent a game where the LEAST amount of times you get to hit the ball, the MORE fun you have. I love these balls tho. For the price, I can lose 3 of these and still be cheaper than 1 ProV1. Why, just the other day I shot 5 under with them. 1 under the bushes, 2 under the water, 1 under the playhouse, and 1 under that red mustang in the parking lot. Get em, they lots of fun and exercise.

I am 65 years old and play golf several times a week. Thankfully I have not lost much flexibility in my "golf muscles", but I never was overly long, so the extra distance provided by these ultra-soft balls is most welcome. The feel is also great, giving good feedback as to the quality of the strike. They may not produce quite the spin on short-game shots as the more expensive premium three-piece balls, but for someone of my skill level (11 handicap index) the difference isn't that great. They also feel good off the putter and roll very nicely. At around 20-22 bucks a dozen, the value and performance can't be beaten, in my opinion. The matte finish and bright "Optix" colors are an added bonus. I was bored with plain old white golf balls. :)

First off, I only play yellow ballsDid not like this ball at all, the first time I played it, felt terrible, dull matte yellow-compared to others-, felt heavy when hit, it was just not attractive.Played it again, without pre judgement. I like the ball flight, very straight. If you hit a good one to the green, there is noticeable spin.Feels good coming off all clubs, putting doesn’t feel mushy but it didn’t shoot off the face either.I absolutely hate the matte finish because it picks up dirt after every shot, 4-5 times as much as non matte finish. I’m buying a dozen white to see if it stays cleaner, if so I’ll use this ball.

I really wanted to like this ball. I can't say anything really bad about it, but it just didn't live up to the ChromeSoft in my opinion. Thus, an average rating for me. I played a few rounds with just this ball and ChromeSoft and I can say in almost every instance, my driver was longer with the callaway. Both balls very solid off the face of the club, but there's something missing about the Wilson. Can't quite put my finger on it, but one thing for sure, I lost about 5-10 yards with my driver. Approach shots and putting about the same. Average ball, going back to ChromeSoft.

Here in Wisconsin in the winter, we play as long as there's no snow on the ground. The Wilson DUO's super soft compression make it an excellent choice. My normal season ball starts to feel like hitting a rock when the temps are below 40, but the Wilson DUO still feels, well, like a ball. You can feel it compress off the driver and stick a little more on the face with your irons. I get plenty of spin with the DUO, even during the coldest rounds.

Smooth as a babies butt! These beauties fly off the tee with their soft compression of 29. Remember, it’s not the arrow, it’s the Indian! Think I shaved a few strokes off my normally high scores. I believe that a scratch golfer might lose a stroke or two, or possibly even cut a couple strokes on a sunny day! Bottom line, they are a great golf ball for the money! Pro V aces; try them sometime just for kicks. I think you might be surprised when you spin a 70 yard pitch and back it up near the cup?

I love these balls, super soft feeling, with no loss of distance! I really like the feel of this ball coming off the club face, driver, hybrid, and irons. I didn't lose any distance, especially on par 3's with irons, they fly great, and seem to spin just fine around the greens, or at least as much as this bogey golfer can spin a ball.

This is a very low compression golf ball. It turn slow club head speed into longer drives. It works really well for me.

These balls are very long off the drive but the downside is they lack the feel for the short game. Bump and run shots from off the green will travel further than expected but don't expect them to stop short on the high pitch shots. Good to spot in cloudy / overcast weather. Would not recommend in dry conditions as they will roll further than expected.

good ball for cold weather golfing, no vibration off your irons. Ball does not go a far as a most of more expensive golf balls, and the flight of the ball is straight, harder to work the ball.
