A Wilson rep gave me a two pack at Demo Day and I was able to play them last week. I really, really like this ball. There are a lot of claims of greater distance with them but since I didn't measure any drives I can't really say for sure if I hit them further or not. But I did make consistently long hits with driver and irons.

I also love the sound they make coming off a club. It's a substantial "thwack!". I found them to be very controllable, low spin off the tee and they seemed to like doing a little baby draw. Short irons and putting were very satisfying. The Duo checked up nicely and felt great coming off the putter.

I guess I'd say the Duo feels sort of like a Callaway Big Bertha Diablo but with less spin and a better sound coming off the clubs.

I'll be buying some soon.

Duo is a great ball for the money.  They opened a PGA Superstore near me and were selling 24 ball packs of Wilson Zips(Duo replaces the Zip) for $15. Bought 6 dozen and when I got to the counter they gave me six 2-packs of Duos to try out. Very long off the tee yet soft. Decent spin, not pro-v spin but checks up and runs out a few feet. Wilson Staff makes some great balls that nobody seems to know about.

I am currently in the process of trying out new balls. So far have tried NXT Tours, Srixon Q-Star, Bridgestone E6's and the Wilson Staff 50's. I like the 50's the best so far. Good distance, they stop and drop for me on full shots into greens and they are OK greenside. At a about a buck a ball they are going to be hard to beat.

    • Day 2 (20 Jan 26) - Similar work as yesterday - started with lead hand solo drills with the 50°, followed by series of pitches and chips utilizing full setup. 
    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
