WILSON TRIAD

‘TO HELP YOU BREAK 80, PLAY THE TRIAD AND YOU’LL HIT THREE MORE FAIRWAYS, FIVE MORE GREENS AND SINK FIVE MORE PUTTS’

The ball for golfers seeking to break 80. Wilson have designed the Triad to hit more fairways (3) and greens (5), as well as to sink more putts (5). It achieves its goal by relocating some of the ball’s mass (the core), away from the centre to the outer edges, which improves MOI and accuracy. Wilson say the Triad will work particularly well for golfers who don’t list more distance as their first priority when choosing a new ball.

TG SAYS… Who doesn’t want a ball to help them break 80? This is one of the best equipment stories of the year! Wilson’s legendary golf ball engineer Frank Simonutti says the Triad is a ball best suited to golfers content with how far they hit shots, and our data fully supports that. Triad wasn’t longest or fastest with the driver or 7-iron at our Gear Ed’s very average swing speed, but it excelled in wedge spin and control. It was our highest spinning wedge ball, with 6.7% more than our second placed ball and 7.8% more than a Pro V1. Simon’s game is based around hitting accurate, consistent wedge approaches from 125 yards and in (as he lacks speed and distance off the tee). It allowed him to do just that.

We love the Triad’s feedback and feel and reckon a good majority of club golfers will agree with our sentiment, as the model is right up there alongside the very best short game balls we’ve tried. Club golfers interested in playing the Triad will need to make a decision whether to use the painted or Raw (unpainted) model, the latter eliminating the potential of an inconsistent paint finish.
