Wilson Staff Duo Professional Golf Balls Review

The new Wilson Staff DUO Professional has accomplished three things in my mind.

1. Wilson Staff has produced a competition level golf ball at an affordable price. With most performance based golf balls at or near $50 a dz., the DUO Professional enters the market at $35 a dz. At that price, the DUO Professional will be nearly the only urethane cover ball in that category of golf balls on the shelf, similar to Vice.
2. Wilson Staff has given golfers a competitive ball in color options. Although non-white golf balls comprise a very slim, if non existent market share, the new DUO Professional comes in Gloss White, along with a Matte Yellow, Matte Green and Matte Orange option. If you struggle with vision, the color options may help. The Matte Yellow and Green options are super bright on both sunny and cloudy days.
3. The DUO Professional has a tour quality cover for increased spin and exceptional durability. One of the issues with previous models was not enough spin, but Wilson Staff says the DUO Professional has 6% more spin off irons compared to DUO Urethane. I didn’t find too much or too little spin with the new DUO and the cover held up very well on several wedge and iron shots. Aim small, miss small is my goal while playing and the DUO Professional was able to keep up with the more expensive performance models for me.
