The ifrothgolf review
Wilson's entry-level distance ball: a two-piece design with a big, low-compression core wrapped in a tough ionomer cover. The 37 compression makes it one of the softest balls on the shelf, and the whole thing is engineered to fly high, fly straight and keep long-game spin low. There's a full alignment stripe running round it to help you line up putts and tee shots.
What's great
The feel is the headline. Off the putter and on chips it's genuinely pillowy, and slower swingers will love how little effort it takes to get it airborne. Low spin off the driver means a slice or hook gets reined in a touch, so it tends to find more fairways. At around 23 pounds a dozen it's a properly cheap ball to play, and the coloured options plus the alignment aid are nice touches.
Worth knowing
Low spin cuts both ways. Around and into greens there's not much bite, so it releases out and is tricky to stop on firm surfaces, and better players will find it lacks the control and check of a urethane ball. Faster swingers (over 95 mph) won't get much from the soft core and may find it feels mushy and spins too little. The ionomer cover is durable but doesn't give that premium greenside grab. It's a forgiving game-improvement ball, not a scoring tool for low handicaps.
The verdict
If you swing it sub-95 mph and want a soft, straight, cheap ball that just gets on with it, the DUO Soft is one of the best value picks out there. Just go in knowing you're trading greenside spin and control for feel and forgiveness. Wrong ball for a low-handicap shotmaker, spot-on for most weekend golfers.
