What’s new? How much does it cost? Max McVittie brings you the lowdown on the new Wilson Triad and DUO Soft golf balls.
Wilson have launched two new models as part of their 2025 golf ball range to enhance performance for all level of golfers. The all-new Wilson Triad and DUO Soft golf balls offer industry-leading balance and softness respectively, in the chase for consistent performance off the tee and on the greens.
Previously, both the Wilson Triad and DUO Soft golf balls were received well and a success. Whilst reviewing them in 2023 the NCG team admired the performance of the Triad golf ball from tee to green and were big fans of the DUO Soft’s consistent roll on the putting surface.
So, what’s new in the latest iterations of these Wilson golf ball? Here’s the technology the brand has introduced in the 2025 versions of these golf balls.
The Technology
Wilson have looked to build upon the award-winning success of the Triad golf ball, after it’s release two years ago, and mould the latest offering into what is recognised as the world’s most balanced golf ball.
The updated design of the Triad ball ensures the same density throughout the golf and across all three layers which helps with the putting green performance. This is enforced by its patented Tri-Balanced Construction which aids in helping to deliver a perfect centre of gravity for the purest roll resulting in more accurate putts.
The brand claim there are no heavy spots on the golf ball to hinder the roll of the ball on the greens.
Additionally, the advanced design of the 80-compression golf ball includes a high moment of inertia which maximises ball speeds. It also reduces the amount of spin on driver strikes to increase distances off the tee for all golfers. The decrease in spin, while maintaining distance performance, is helped by the constant density of the golf ball.
A reduction in compression and a redesign of the core and mantle composition is responsible for these performance enhancements and distance surge. Wilson believe that golfers will be bale to find more fairways, attack more pins, and sink more putts as a result of the soft three-piece urethane cover.

In terms of the new Wilson DUO Soft golf ball, the brand are still confident this remains the world’s softest golf ball. It has a soft core and stiff cover result in a compression of 37 for this soft feel.
Crafted using a two-piece surlyn construction the ball also delivers top level distances. In fact, Wilson say that the distance performance is longer than any two-piece premium ball whilst producing a straighter ball flight and lower sidespin through minimising the overall spin rate.
