Wilson adds to Duo golf ball lineup with Duo Urethane

Published

on

Chicago-based Wilson Staff has expanded its Duo line of golf balls with the new Duo Urethane. The 3-piece Duo Urethane (55 compression) joins the 2-piece Duo (29 compression) and the 3-piece Duo Spin (35 compression) in Wilson’s lineup.

“We have been working on a low compression solution for urethane since we first released the original DUO to the marketplace,” said Frank Simonutti, Wilson’s Global Director of Innovation-Golf Balls. “Our testing has consistently shown that the majority of golfers, regardless of handicap, prefer a softer feeling golf ball. As the industry trend is toward softer feel balls, we remain committed to providing the softest feeling golf ball in all product categories.”

Marketed as “the World’s Softest Urethane Golf Ball,” the Duo Urethane ($37.99) reportedly feels soft and spins enough for better players. It bridges the price gap between the company’s 4-piece FG Tour golf balls ($44.99) and the company’s 3-piece Duo Spin golf balls ($27.99). 

Aside from price and compression, a measure of a golf ball’s “squish-ability” under force, the biggest difference between the Duo Spin and the Duo Urethane is the new ball’s premium cast urethane cover, which is the same cover formulation that is used on the company’s FG Tour golf ball. The cast urethane cover, along with its firmer compression, will help the Duo Urethane produce more short-game than the Duo Spin golf ball, which uses a surlyn cover.

    The Duo Spin is a 3-piece ball, not a 2-piece as stated in the article.

    The Duo Urethane looks like the Chrome Soft without the Truvis technology option.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
