Ball Lab: Wilson DUO Soft

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of golf balls. Today, we’re reviewing the 2023 Wilson DUO Soft. To learn more about our test process, click here.

About the Wilson DUO Soft

Based on the data we’ve collected, we think the Wilson DUO Soft may prove to be the softest ball on the market this year.

It’s certainly the current softest among brands that most golfers have actually heard of.

Given its extremely low compression, it’s all but a given that the Wilson DUO Soft will provide high flight with low spin.

While Wilson’s urethane offerings (Staff Model and Triad) are produced at Foremost in Taiwan, the DUO Soft is produced by a different factory in China.

Zack Fischer, Sub 70 Golf and The Open Championship

Zach Fischer may be the best American Underdog story at this week’s Open Championship. In fact, if you’re looking for someone to root for at Hoylake, you could do a lot worse than Zack Fischer.

The 33-year-old Texan is the epitome of a journeyman pro. He’s cashed a six-figure check on the PGA TOUR and has gone the mini-tour and state open routes, wondering if it was all worth it. He’s won Q-School twice and, by his own admission, took the craziest path possible to the Open Championship.

“I guess you’d call it a roller coaster, literally,” Fischer tells MyGolfSpy. “I was on top of what I thought my golf world was back in 2013. I qualified for the U.S. Open that year and won Q-School for the first time.”

And he didn’t beat a field of ham-and-eggers, either. The 2013 Q-School included the likes of Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, Daniel Berger and Max Homa.

“I thought I was going to be one of the young guns that gets on the PGA TOUR really quickly.”

Amazon Finds: Golf Erasers

The Problem

Golf equipment, whether it be shoes, golf balls or clubs, gets dirty constantly and cleaning all of them all the time can be a tedious task. Some golfers use brushes, others use towels and many use both. Even when using a golf club brush and towel, dirt can stay on equipment and then,  to top it all off, the towel and golf club brush need to be cleaned! Surely there must be better, simpler golf club cleaners that will get the job done without the hassle of towels, brushes and buckets. 

The Solution

Golf Erasers!  The golf club cleaner for cleaning golf shoes, golf balls, and most importantly, your golf clubs. A convenient all-in-one item with the only addition needed being a fluid to activate the cleaning magic. The Golf Eraser golf club cleaner attaches to your bag and is easily detachable with spares to ensure you are set between shots and after the round.

How I Found It

Having clean clubs and clean golf balls is a must for me. Whether it is in between shots or after the round, I always clean my clubs with a golf club brush and towel. I play in all conditions and far too often my towel gets dirty and wet which then transfers to my hands, clubs and even golf balls. In search of a solution, I was tipped off about Golf Erasers instant cleaners. So off to Amazon I went and found the last pack available for $20. With the click of a button, they were ordered and at my door in less than 24 hours. 

How it worked (and didn’t)

The Golf Eraser  came in a nice package with a clip for attaching to your bag. Putting them onto the tag was simple but I did notice a few of the pads cracked a bit when putting onto the bag tag. However, it does say on the box “must be wet to work” soI would advise wetting them before putting onto the tag to avoid this. 

The Golf Erasers themselves are pretty simple. As a golf club cleaner they are two-sided pads with a rougher green side for scrubbing away larger chunks of dirt, grass and sand. The white side with dimples is for wiping away the remaining dirt. It is a very simple design but it is effective. With six pads included in the pack and the fact they are easily cleaned and activated with water, these certainly have immediate potential out of the box.
