GolfSpy Barbajo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Wilson is unveiling the new DUO's today - and trust me, they WILL get your attention! Yup - those are the new DUO matte colors and I gotta say, they look pretty cool in person. As for performance, if you like the old DUO, you'll like this one just as much. It's not a Tour-level ball, but for the average player (or anyone playing in cool temps) it performs very well. The new DUO Soft Spin is getting a facelift too -- some tech tweaks and the Wilson shield as a logo (looks VERY classy). Full report is on the blog - check it out here Thoughts?

STUDque Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I like how they appear to glow. I guess I'd go with yellow since orange and pink will blend in with my leaves.

Canucklehead Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Really cool. Pro shops around my place don't carry many coloured ball brands, but most carry Wilson. And my dad loves the orange ones. Looks like my Christmas shopping for him is all but done 😀 I'll be grabbing a sleeve to try next season (crossing my fingers for one more round, but doesn't look like it'll happen). Probably the yellow Sent from my E6853 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Really like the old school badassery! Wilson keeping it real. And who doesn't like hitting a ball that makes your super hard feeling irons feel like a nice soft pillow?

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 As I mentioned in the blog, I really appreciate Frank speaking so openly about the ball market in general, both praising and criticizing other balls in the market, it gives more validity in my mind to what he says about the current line. Also it's nice to see someone who works for an OEM that isn't a scratch golfer....ha The Duo Spin Soft sounds interesting, i'll definitely give it a try. And at the price for the Duo Soft, I bet we sell a lot of them in the shop.

sixcat Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Excellent article! I've been playing the Duo Spin for a few years now. It's my second favorite ball ever, behind the Staff PX3.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Will there be new duo-u or fg Tour balls coming? I'm sure eventually - DUO U is only 2 years old and the current FG Tour is only about a year old, so no refresh is likely soon. I'm still trying to find out if the shield is going to be on all the balls - I seem to remember them saying that, but I didn't write it down anywhere. And an FG Tour in matte white? I need a moment alone...
