Wilson Duo Soft Review - Optix Ball

The Wilson Duo Soft/Optix will not be confused with a tour ball, but will certainly hold its own.  The main benefit that amateur golfers will find playing this ball is the tee-shot.  The Duo Soft/Optix is very low spin off the driver.  This means long and straight drives that won’t balloon.  So for many golfers that slice the ball off the tee, these will help you hit a little straighter and a little longer.  They are fairly low launching too so you can expect good roll in the fairway also.  Iron shots feel incredible and also fly pretty straight.  If you compress you irons hard, these won’t be the longest ball off the irons, but for a slower swing speed these will really pop, probably even adding a couple yards.  Around the greens they feel amazing off the wedge with moderate spin.  They won’t drop and stop like a urethane cover, but won’t roll all the way across the green either.  I played on some fairly soft greens with these and they held the greens nicely off the wedges.   Off the putter it kind of depended on how long of a putt it was.  The longer the putt, the softer the feel as it engages the soft core more.
