DO NOT Sleep on Wilson Equipment. I retired 2 years ago and started playing golf more frequently. This year, July, I went looking for a used Driver-- but ended up getting fitted into a Wilson Dynapower TI driver. Already owing Ping (425), Mizuno and Srixon drivers, I can confidently say the Wilson is just superior in every aspect: distance, forgivness, all of it. Then, I went to the Golf big box store and came home with a Wilson Infinite putter (The "L" model). I spent 3 hours hitting putters in the store and this one stood out. Before July, I had shot an even par round once in my life. In July this year (and now early August), I have 3 more 72's. I have had 5 birdies in a round once, and 4 birdies in a round twice. I have 8 rounds in a row in the 70's and counting. As a 65 year old, 8/9 HDCP (lower now), I can tell you this equipment performs. My next irons will likely be Wilson, but I am not done with my Mizuno JPX Hot Metal sticks, yet. Go test this equipment. Performance and Value, period.

Love the Wilson Staff and Staff X, i’m 63 yrs old and am a 4 hcp ."… was a ProV1 golfer, but discovered them 2 Yrs ago and never looked back…awesome solid ball.

Wilson is the Nickelback of golf. People hate on them for no reason, but end up liking them in the end lol.

I'm 79 years old and play Wilson Dyna Power irons using Wilson Duo Soft golf balls. Amazing combination for an old guy!!!

[Advance_Traveler]

I just finished 9 holes with the Wilson Duo Soft; I’ve only been playing a little over a year, and finally discovered I play much better and confident with a softer ball. The Wilsons were great! Very helpful info, and I feel good about buying them.

I started playing Wilson Zip based on your top 10 golf balls videos. and man was I amazed. it is an amazing golf ball. It feels really good, gives great distance and gives amazing control. Thank you very much for the recommendation.

I am a beginner golfer. As in just this May. So the term "scrub " it's still fair. Right now, I lose enough golf balls I can't reason out anything more than 70 cents a ball. But I love that this channel is willing to look at something that shoots right around a dollar a ball. Cuz that will be hopefully what I improve up to next year. I still need something soft that helps me out. But I am seriously impressed that this channel does focus on the lower end spectrum for the rest of us. I don't think enough people realize how much money we put in an actual golf balls when you're not very good at the game. So thank you.

I’ve been watching this channel for a long time, just recently started commenting. I’m a huge advocate for the Duo Soft for not only slow swingers but pretty much any beginner/slicer, I feel like it would help them a lot. I loved this video, the Percept is what I buy if Walmart is out of Duo Soft ONLY because of this channel and I play a Dynapower Titanium driver, SUPER forgiving driver. The Dynapower Ti and Duo Soft combo is an absolute game changer.

Thanks for many great reviews Golf Ball Addict! I started with Wilson D9 irons which I really like. Then I tried the D9 driver and it’s also very good and not too expensive. Then after a putter fitting, I have the Wilson Infinite ‘The L’ which is working well for me. Saw a couple Wilson High Toe wedges on sale, and fairway woods and a hybrid. I’m really happy with the whole bag now and I’m improving my game. Life is great, it’s a beautiful game! Wilson brand is much better than many think.

I'm a senior golfer with a high handicap. I've played the TopFlite Bomb and Hammer Distance. I've also played the Pinnacle Rush and Soft, the Precept Laddie Extreme and a whole array of Wilson golf balls, mostly the Duo Soft. I have no complaints about any of these balls. You may want to look at the Bridgestone Extra Soft, the TaylorMade Speed Soft, the Maxfli Softfli and of course, the Kirkland ball. The ProVs are excellent balls but they don't have the feel I'm looking for. In the hands of tour professionals they may be everything people rave about. But they just don't work for me. And they're pricey, especially when you hit one lost forever. It's like throwing money away. As for clubs, I have something from everyone (almost) over the years. I currently have the Wilson Dynapower fairway clubs in my bag and am very happy with the performance. So, get out there, take dead aim (Harvey Pennick) and hit 'em straight! Enjoy the game!

There are so many good golf balls today to choose from. But Golf Ball Addict is right about the Precept Laddie. It's a 60 compression ball. 2 dozen box for $25 is a steal. Being a 60 compression ball makes it good for golfers with less than 85 mph swing speed. Also easily compressable in the winter time.

I too like the Wilson quality products. definitely underrated. love the zip balls for sure! My wife recently gifted me a box of Callaway supersoft and I thought, these are what I started out with and felt like I graduated up from them. I'll tell you what, I immediately hit driver tee shots straight and on average 10-15 yards longer than my everyday ball. Surprise!! I have a few balls I want to try out but if all else fails I will come back to the supersoft. Love your content.

Great review Nick. Just asking people to open their eyes. Who had heard or tried the Inesis until you reviewed it. Wilson, without doubt are a major player and produce very good equipment. Top Flite balls were cheap rocks when I started playing so many years ago. I have not seen them here in Thailand but, because of your reviews, I would definitely try them. Golf balls for us average golfers, that is the reason you post reviews.

I grew up with my dad’s old Wilson Ultra45 iron set, so I always had a respect for Wilson. But after dropping out of the game for 17 years picked up Wilson irons as my regular set, and as I’m working out my short game, I love their harmonized wedges so I can just pick one up and try to sort out what I need to keep in my bag without breaking the bank.

[douglasmayer]

Took a chance on Wilson Triad balls because of a different YT golf ball evaluation. I am very pleased with them. I've been a loyal Bridgestone player for 20 years, but my swing speed is dropping, and the Wilson Triad is a better fit for me right now. I get a lot of spin and control around the greens and the distance is there as well.

[arndthwrld]

Great stuff! I completely agree about Wilson being underrated across the board. I just bought my fist box of Zips because of your recommendation. Looking forward to trying them out.

[RandyBaynes]

I've been playing Wilson Zips for several years and have found few balls that truly compare when it comes to price and performance. No wilson clubs in the bag at the moment but played staff tour blades for years and they were every bit as good as MP 33s or titleist 690s that i played until recently. Thanks for recognizing how geeat wilson truly is!

[TS_Esquire]

Congrats on 10k subscribers! I think I was like number 380. I knew you would get to at least 10k subscribers back then.

I’ve golfed off and on my whole life, but got a membership this year and have golfed a lot. My first set of balls I bought were the Wilson Profile. Since then I’ve tried Calloway’s, Taylor made, titleist, pinnacles and Bridgestones that are in the $20 to $25 dollar range per dozen. The Wilson profiles played as well as all of them. Very balanced ball for the price. Wish they made them in yellow.

[DaVinci]

Thanks! I use Zips and Duo Softs and I like them. My golf buddy is a big man, in his later 50's, and drives his ball around 250 yds. most of the time. With the help of the Zips, last month, I was averaging around 215 with an occasional 230ish when I knew I wouldn't lose the ball with a bad slice. Luckily, I found the fairway more often than not and had 4 pars along with a lucky birdie. I'm happy with my clubs but If I buy new clubs they will be Wilson's. I like your videos. Thanks again!
