Wilson has launched updated versions of two its top-selling golf balls – the Triad and the DUO Soft.
WILSON TRIAD
Building on the success of its release two years ago, the new Triad boasts a patented Tri-Balanced Construction, with the updated design ensuring uniform density across all three layers, delivering a perfect centre of gravity for the purest roll.
The advanced design on the latest 80-compression Triad ball features a high moment of inertia designed to maximise ball speeds, while reducing driver spin for enhanced accuracy off the tee. In contrast, a thin, high-friction urethane cover increases club face interaction for best-in-class control and feel on approach shots.
These enhancements are due to a reduction in compression and a redesign of the core and mantle composition. The consistent density of the golf ball allows for a lower spin rate while maintaining distance performance.
“The soft three-piece urethane cover provides performance benefits to help golfers find more fairways, attack more pins, and sink more putts. The re-designed Tri-Balanced Construction makes it more consistent than its predecessor,” said Frank Simonutti, Global Director of Golf Ball Innovation at Wilson Golf.
“During testing, the new Triad had the longest driver distance and highest iron spin of competitive three-piece urethane balls. This was matched by having the highest average spin rate on 7-iron, 9-iron and 56˚ wedge shots,” he added. Triad is the only perfectly balanced golf ball on the market with no “heavy” spots, which can have a negative effect on putting and prevent a “true” roll,” he added.
The Wilson Triad ball will be available in white and yellow, priced at an RRP of £40/€45 per dozen.
WILSON DUO SOFT
The new DUO Soft remains the world’s softest golf ball, featuring a two-piece surlyn construction that delivers exceptional distance, straight ball flight, and an ultra-soft feel.
A newly engineered high-energy core maximises distance off the tee. The soft core and stiff cover result in a compression of 37 for the softest feel of any golf ball. It also provides distance performance longer than any two-piece premium ball while minimising spin rate for lower sidespin and straighter flight.
“The new DUO Soft provides golfers with premium performance at an incredible price,” said Simonutti. “During testing the high energy core showed that the new DUO Soft carried longer than other competitive two-piece balls, yet continues to provide the softest feel of any golf ball, making it great for players looking for straighter flight and help finding the fairway.”
The new DUO Soft will be available this month in five high vis colours — red, orange, green, yellow, and pink — making it easy to track shots in flight and locate the ball quickly in any type of ground cover. It is priced at an RRP of £27/€30 per dozen.
