Favorite Wilson Golfer........

 

I am still a card carrying permanent member of Arnie's Army. I remember watching him prowl the fairways at Champions GC in Houston in the 1960's listening to the roars of the gallery.

Makes sense because I thought the only major Hogan won in 51 was the US open. It threw me off a little seeing him on the list but I wasn't going to argue lol

 

Yeah, he stopped playing the PGA after his accident, since it was still a match play event back then and they'd play 36 holes a day.  Legs couldn't take it...

I have already tried the Duo and it's a great distance ball. It didn't check up on the greens as much as I am used to but it doesn't roll forever. I like the feel of the chips and putts and I would game it.

 

I plan to check out the FG Tour. I haven't seen or heard of the Duo Spin.

 

SS: 99mph

 

HC: 14.9

My Handicap: 5

Driver Swing Speed: 110

Favorite Wilson Staff Golfer: I would have to go with John Daly on this one. I mean no disrespect to players such as Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, or Walter Hagan who all played Wilson at one point in their career. John Daly never did live up to the hype he brought about, however he did something completely different to help golf. He ushered in a new wave of fashion and style. Before John Daly came out on the scene wearing various shirt and pant combos from Loudmouth Golf, nobody wore anything remotely resembling it. He took golf from a khakis and navy blue shirt game to a crazy, out of the box, wear what you want as long as its a polo and your shirt is tucked in game. Because of it and its popularity companys like Nike, Adidas, and now Puma have come up with some incredibly crazy and cool shirt designs for the world's best to wear. Thank you John Daly for changing golf fashion for everyone!

Driver = Cobra Fly-Z + 10 degree w/ Aldila RIP Phenom Shaft

3-Wood = Cobra Fly-Z + 14.5 degree

3-Iron = Ping iBlade w/ Ping Standard Graphite Shaft

4-PW = Ping iBlade w/ Project X Rifle Shafts

50 degree = Titleist SM5

54 degree = Titleist SM5

58 degree = Titleist SM5

Payne Stewart was the reason I fell in love with the game. So sad I never got to see him play.

My oldest daughter loved him Steph, she'd watch golf with me just to see what he was wearing.

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Okay gang -- time to announced the testers!!!!

 

Great job by everyone, especially when choosing your favorite Wilson Staffer!  Special credit goes to those who selected both Ty Webb and yours truly (even though I'm not an official Wilson staffer, I just play one on TV! :rolleyes: )

 

Anyway, without further ado, here we go!!!!

Congrats guys!  I"ll be sending you guys a Private Message shortly with more information.  You'll each receive 1 dozen of the specified balls.  We'll be asking you some basic pre-test, in-test and post-test questions over the next month or so to get your feedback.  Are these balls Gold Medal worthy? Does low-compression really make a difference?  The MyGolfSpy community wants to know!!!

 

And for the rest of the community, please make sure to ask your questions of our testers, as well.  This is a great opportunity to learn about one of the most talked-about ball releases of the year.

 

Again, congrats and I can't wait to get this one started, as well!!!!
