Wilson Boost Golf Ball Review

Another Wilson Ball in the cheap isles of Walmart. Wilson always seems to pull a rabbit out of their hat with these, can they do it again with the Boost?

Wilson is absolutely the most slept on brand of golf ball.

HA, I am a senior golfer with a relatively slow swing speed - been playing the Callaway Supersoft and Vice Pro Air. A good drive for myself with those balls is between 190 and 200 yards. I tried the Wilson Boost (just for fun) and my drives were consistently 210 to 220 yards and seemed to go much straighter. This makes a big difference for mysel . Just amazing! I experienced similar yardage gains with my 5 fairway wood, 4 hybrid, and 6 iron. With mid-range to shorter irons I did have trouble with the feel and distance control. So - I’ll just switch to the Callaway for shorter shots, chipping and putting. I just play for fun and self satisfaction so I don’t worry about others think! Finally, I initially bought a dozen ($10) on Amazon. This evening I couldn’t find them on Amazon so I checked Walmart - nothing in the stores but your are able to order online and delivered to your home. Thanks to Golf Ball Addict for the review of this ball!! John

I bought the balls When Walmart opened and tested them yesterday and today. Your results matched what I found. With my 60mph swing i was able to get to total distance of 125 yards with my 6 iron. With other balls that would take my 4 or 5 iron. This the farthest i want to power a ball in my current health and allows me to carry one less club. For that you have made my golf better for me at this time. I still think the Wilson Duo Optic feels the best to hit but that will come back later. Thank you very much.

Wow, wow, wow, just WOW! I've been seeing the Wilson Boost at Walmart for some time now for under $10/dozen. Although I am a HUGE Wilson fan, I just could not believe this golf ball was any good, mostly because of the name and because of the price. As you so often state, what are they sacrificing in order to sell these for 10 bucks? Well, let me tell you, I tried these yesterday and I was completely blown away. My gamer balls are the Wilson Duo Soft and the Vice Pro. Sometimes I'll play the Wilson Staff Model as well. The Boost compares favorably to these, in fact, in some cases it exceeds in performance. I'm a 66 year old scratch player from the red tees (6500 yd. course) hitting 180-220 drives with an 80 MPH swing speed. I tend to hit the ball a little low but with the Boost I was getting a beautiful mid-high trajectory and the one drive I measured came out to 187 yds. on a pretty lush fairway and soft conditions. And now here is something I have to tell you at the risk of sounding like a nut. On three drives I swear I saw the ball correct itself mid-flight producing a dead straight path. Are these things legal?! Ha-ha. On the greens it was a one hop and stop with everything from a 5 iron to my gap wedge. I love the feel of these balls as well, bouncy and soft just like my beloved Duo Soft. Putting feedback is just right too. With my TaylorMade Spider Tour X there is a pleasing muted thump sound that is not obnoxious. It is very satisfying. Overall, this ball is incredible for the price. I'm going back to Walmart today to buy the entire stock of Wilson Boost!

BTW, I want to thank you for educating me on how to recognize performance and evaluate golf balls. I've been playing this sport for 46 years, and up until 2 years ago when I found your channel, I didn't care what ball I was playing (mostly because like so many people out there I drank the Titleist Kool-Aid). Sir, you provide a great service to us weekend average Joe golfers. If you only knew how much I appreciate your hard work. You produce some awesome and valuable content my friend. I wish you much success.

Wilson is the ball guru! They experiment with more balls, designs, substances, etc. than any other producer! Alert, I was in Walmart Cockeysville Md. the other day they had the Zip balls! Just sayin’! Good stuff Nick. Thanks

[ordinaryshaver]

Loving that Mizuno cap! As a Mizuno ball player, gotta get that cap to asd to the collection

[DRGProducts-ixxr]

LOL, I shot a 79 with this Boost ball today (crazy), the same score I got with my Pro V1. I hit the ball to the same spots as my Pro V, and the iron distance is incredible.

[keithp]

Wow! Thanks for the thorough review. I really appreciated where you showed some comparison numbers with the 2 piece competitors. I also appreciate you doing a deep dive into these 2 piece balls. I’ve been a “I play whatever I find” golfer refusing to pay $4 and $5 a ball. A decent ball at a buck a ball, yes I’ll play only that ball till you find the next hidden treasure for the community. Thanks again GBA!

Snagged a box of these at Walmart after watching this review. Played two rounds and have hit a few dozen practice putts. I totally agree with everything in this review, these are a tremendous product at that price point. They were performing as well (usually better) than lots of $25-30 a dozen balls I've tried in the past few years. My previous experiences with Wilson balls have always been positive, as well. They know their stuff so do you. Another excellent review.

[billvarga]

Wilson just keeps putting great stuff out there. from balls to clubs it's all quality. Love the Zip balls but I'm gonna try these for sure!

[tizdizzley]

Glad to see this review. Definitely could be my new go to ball especially for the price

[AQK]

Just broke 100 for the first time with one of these, and managed to keep the same ball the entire round too!

Only mark is from a fortuitous cart path bounce

[johnjohncooer]

I know you have always enjoyed Wilson golf equipment, but you do test them fairly and give your honest opinion. I have said before that I think Wilson make too many different golf balls, good to see that this is one of their better ones and at a phenomenal price. Thanks for the review Nick, now I just have to find them here in Thailand.

[taterigby]

I have no idea what youll say but I'm so happy it's finally out haha

[Niftte]

Holy crap! This is wild! Going to pick this up next time at Walmart.

[jonbuikema]

Interesting. I've been a fan of Wilson. People don't realize but it is a top ball maker for all other sports. Basketball, Tennis, Football, Baseball, and so on. Their new leadership has stated to be a top golf ball maker. They are trending up. Years ago I loved the Wilson Velocity. The Elite 50 was good too. We play softy balls when the temps go down here in Iowa. No snow, we go! Keep up the good work.

[brianbohn]

I have been playing nothing but Wilson golf balls for well over a decade now. Started with the 50 Elite and then changed over to the Zip. Hated hearing that the Zip is getting discontinued. I recently tried the Wilson Boost after seeing this review. A little firmer feel that I am getting used to. I do like chipping and putting with them. Good distance. I found durability to be great. I even prefer the simple Wilson as opposed to Wilson Staff font. I am not ready to say if I prefer this to the Zip, but at an even lower price, I am less upset about the Zip getting discontinued. Great ball, insanely good price, comparable performance to much more expensive balls. Thank you for these reviews

[garytannenbaum]

Thank you for your terrific golf ball reviews!!! I think I have become addicted to them.:)
I may need a bit of clarification: Yesterday, based on your review, I purchased from Walmart the Wilson Boost which comes in a light blue box, just like the box you show on your review. And scrolling through your Comments section and seeing one from "Keith 5568" as well as your reply, I realize that your very thorough review was indeed of the balls that come in the light blue box I purchased and not in the darker colored box which I now know is an earlier version of Wilson Boost. (The ones in the light blue box I purchased are manufactured in Taiwan according to the printing inside that box.)
But I see what seems to be a discrepancy which I am sure you can shed light on: The balls in the light blue box I purchased have black numbers and black alignment aids while what I see from your review around the 2 minute mark shows what instead looks like blue numbers and blue alignment aids. Is it really blue printing? If so, I wonder why my golf balls have black printing. I very much look forward to your reply and any further clarification. I just want to make sure that what I purchased are the balls you gave such a positive review of. Thank You are terrific.
(By the way, I see you are a baseball guy as well as a golf guy. I really like the framed photo of I believe the Oriole's superstar Cal Ripkin on the wall behind you during your review today of that new Spaulding DS Tour ball.

Might have to give these a go! For the price they seem amazing

[jonnyappleseed]

Awesome review! Looks like I've found a new ball for my dad to use.
