I think the unpainted ball might offer slightly more grip. So when I lift the ball from the woods and throw it back onto the fairway, it should be much more accurate.

Thanks James. I’ve seen a lot of these “Straight” golf ball videos but it’s always on course with a good swinger. Your next video: 1. Choose a friend who typically slices/fades the ball regularly to hit. 2. Get on the Indoor simulator 3. Compare the spin rates with these vs Bridgestones e6 or e12 contact vs an illegal “straight” ball. -All mid-high handicappers will rejoice.

Needed to see more of Brett hitting it tbf. Varying the level of golfer on these videos is something you should do in every equipment test, just so we have a comparison in case you're hitting it particularly good/dodgy that day.

I have been waiting for these to come out, thanks for reviewing these!

I played the Staff Model Raw ball. It feels great, spins great, really good performance. If it's muddy the ball does stain quickly. The stain doesn't affect performance but I walked past it more than a few times. Visibility goes way down. I'd buy them again though. Will try these.

Great video James!!!! Per the other golf balls that are straight, you need to line the ball with the line pointed to where you want it to go the same as when you are putting. Use the same line on the ball at the Tee lined up to the flag and try it again 🙂and see if that makes it any straighter yet.

Can't wait to try these, I've been a big wilson fan, for the price I think they're a great value ball

More Friday morning wake up videos to start the day James great video

Great video James! How are you liking that new Vegas? Are we going to see a review on these Odyssey putters coming out?

Awesome review! Would be interesting to see the Performance of the ball between yourself and low, medium and high handicapper :)

What would be interesting is playing the same few holes with a normal ball, the legal straight ball, and the illegal ball and see the difference.

I generally use the Wilson Staff Model ball, suffer a little distance loss off the tee but gain so much around the greens, Stops instantly and/or spins back. Their Duo Professional is the other ball I use when not hitting driver well. Good ball, just less spin around greens.

That is the best you have played that first hole since I have been watching you. Im going out and buying a dozen of those balls right now

Noodle has been doing this for a while with Easy Straight, which also works and is pretty soft and inexpensive.

I finally found the new Triad golf balls and played my first round with them today. (1) hit more fairways - check (2) hit more greens - check (3) hole more puts...still to be determined...winter greens plus I am a crap putter. Verdict: found my new ball. Love everything about this new ball.

I have hit this in prototype and in the final production model. I know the science behind them. They are a tree piece 75 compression ball. All three layers have the same density for a perfect center of gravity. I own and operate Hunt Golf and have ordered a staggering 288 dozen for my spring order with Wilson. I know they will sell fast. I saw that they hit very straight. I will have to relearn yardage though because they go further than the Wilson Staff Model Ball and the DUO Professional Ball which they are replacing. Great review and keep up the good work. You should also try the Wilson Staff Model CB irons as well. They are the best set of irons that I have ever put in my bag.

Can’t wait to try them!

excellent review James whud love to try them do u know how much they will be

Well played James. Please do a comparison with other mid priced balls on the simulator. Erm, you didn’t mention cost!

Great review would be good to see the performance compared to the Pro V1 on the simulator.

Never disappoint with a golf ball review

You are the first to review / vlog them 💪💪💪👍👍👍👌 Lets see Foxy with them 💪💪💪👍👍👍 How much are they???🤔🤔🤔😉

Great video. Sounds like the ball won’t magically make you hit straight, but it won’t be the cause of a bad hit. I’ll take that!

Found one while playing yesterday. Never seen a ball from Wilson marked the same so I put it in the bag. I will play it next time out. Thanks

Good review, James but we probably need to see Foxy give it a whack. Currently play off 16 with a Bridgestone RXS (which I'm more than happy with) and have Wilson D7's so I would be up for hitting a few Wilson balls too. Just need Spriggsy's swing 😁

Looking forward to the yellow version when it comes out!

Not sure mate, I can slice most ball. May need to give them a try, are they available in Australia 🇦🇺.

I've read (mygolfspy) that the Triad competitors are AVX, Tour Speed, Bridgestone RX, Q star tour, etc. -- i.e., softer urethane non-tour balls. (Price in US is $40).

Never played with Wilson before, but after your..na..na..na...would you be kind enough to let me try a sleeve or two? Another fantastic video Mate!!!

Thumbs up for the stand bag!

I play Wilson irons. I mean they aren't fit for me and are old and really not that great but kinda love them about still. And I used to also play Wilson balls and a Wilson glove cause I liked to match. But this looks epic. Like the branding too

I see a lot of videos about different golf balls that say will go straight, like the Polara self correcting balls. In each one they test them with a person(usually a golf pro or instructor) that knows how to hit a ball consistently and for the most part straight. How about having a person that has a slice already, to test them with? See if they actually do what they say.

I may give these a try! Have you tested the Maxfli tour x ?

I'd love to see the distances and if you can hit a hook or slice with it

Also the classic Wilson font on the ball is so sweet

Years ago Wilson made a ball and the hype was the inside material an the cover material was the very same weight per oz or whatever. So that there was no way the ball could have lop side weight to it. I played it for several year and remembering it was okay, so they are at it again, I would purchase a dozen just for the heck of it.

What is the compression? I’ve been playing the Wilson Duo for a few years and love them.

Double teapot on the 1st! Great birdie

Raw finish golf balls tend to scuff and discolor much faster than painted balls, plus there is a spin issue when they get some moisture on them as well. As far as the straightness claims…I’m sure the proper swing can send them into the woods lol. Although concentricity issues in golf ball manufacturing is a real problem and can make a good swing yield a very bad result.

Great camera 📷

I want to try these but I really prefer a yellow ball. Prov1x yellow to be exact.

A very interesting video. The balls do seem very good, for me it would all be down to the feel off the club and Putter. I've recently been using the Bridgestone E12 Contact. They fly straighter, stop well on the green and they feel great. Plus they are reasonably priced!

I like their zip model balls. Idk why but I just seem to crush them and they’re incredibly inexpensive. Not the most durable, but I noticeably play better with them over any other ball.

Yes. It flies straight in the direction the club face and club path send it.

I’ve had some Vice Pro Soft in a matt finish, lovely ball but soon gets very dirty and hard to keep clean. I notice they don’t do the matt finish now.

Wasn't expecting this release time

James, how is the spin oh the greens and chips overall? Similar to what?

According to Wilson, the three part construction uses materials that each has the same density, so that imperfections in the layering will not adversely affect MOI, allowing the ball to travel truly in response to whatever strike you put on it. No wobblies. Put a good strike on the ball, it goes according to plan. Put a slice or a hook on it, it's still going to react because of the side spin though. Most golf balls are made with materials that have differing density (grams/cm3), and when adding the covers over the core, it the layering is unequal, or if the core migrates toward the outside (making one side of the inner layer thick and the other thin), then the ball will be unstable because of the mass imbalance. If all of the layers have the same density, then off-center cores don't contribute to the mass imbalance that gives some balls erratic flight characteristics, or as I like to call it, the wobblies.

You make it all look so easy.

What stops better around the green? Raw or the painted??

gotta give you a thumbs for the Caddyshack reference

Did you test it inside to compare spin rates and distance on your clubs??? How did it compare to PROV1

have you tried the bridgestone e6 similar claims i use it for my winter golf and really think it helps hit more fairways will try the wilson as well

"TWO OUT OF THREE AINT BAD" RIP the great MEATLOAF.

Bought a box of these. They aren’t any straighter than any other ball. Either you put a good swing on it or not. They do feel really good on all shots and seem to be a good ball. They spin more than advertised , IMO. I’ll stick to my BRX or AVX for low spin performance.

I would have liked to see you drop a normal ball on some of the shots and hit that one as well and see if their was a difference.

Curious as to how these balls compare to the Maxfli Straightfli ball ...I believe they have a similar dimple design to the Polara although the Maxfli is legal....

It would be really cool if they could combine the Triad with the 50 Elite. The more I play the 50 Elite the more I like it. Have you tried the 50 Elite Wilson ball, James? Feels like hot molasses. Thanks for helping us out James. You rock.

Cost? As someone who is not set in one type of ball yet will give these a try

Great video - how good does Woolley Park look?! Also what am I going to watch at 1pm today? Tried to wait but couldn't...

I'd like to see it on a GCQuad. Hitting like a Srixon or something to see how far less it flies against another type of ball.

Love the caddyshack reference 🤣🤣🤣, Is this your new pre putt routine 🤔

I will say this... you must have a new camera because the image quality is really good.

I’ll buy a box my next outing. But I’ll have my yellow Pro V’s in the cart if the forest eats too many. Taking the dull finish.

In the US Wilson has soft ball I forget the name I think there's a 50 in it. Plays nicely for the week end warrior. I will look for this model.

Great review, will I buy them ? because of the claim that is daft so that's a no from me ( unless I get them for 50p)

What happened to the old club testing studio? Ball seems pretty good too. Although I'll stick with my Snell MTB for less money. Interesting though

Would be interesting to see a comparison with a Polara.

Would love to see a ranking of the balls from Talking Balls

Im wondering how the tech compares to the Maxfli version

Wilson: Guaranteed this ball goes straight. Brett: Hold my Beer!!! Great video James!!! Every Driver goes longer, Every Ball goes Straighter and Longer... What did we learn?? Cheers!!!

It would be interesting to see Foxy playing this ball as a high handicapper. At a projected $40 dozen (US) this ball is entering Pro V pricing though

If the price is right for a 3 piece urethane cover ball, i will try it. This year i am taking a re_look at my game. How do i want to play and what ball to use. I will give this a try

I like the raw. Reminds me of the Balata .

Good Morning James. These balls look almost too good to be true. Hard to tell from the video how they sound but the flight of the ball looks great. However when I Google Wilson Triad 3U.R, nothing comes up. Is this just available in the UK? I would love to try them. I enjoy ball reviews. Nice video!

Well played James but what do they cost ???

I've been playing this ball for a few weeks and it is straighter than my previous Chrome Soft. I like the feel and the distances and spin appears to be similar to my CS. I prefer to give Wilson my money than Callaway. My only complaints are cosmetic. This ball is boring AF and it looks like they didn't even try. Give me a yellow option and put some red and grey in that iconic W/S shield. The ball does return to a repeatable spin axis in my Check Go Pro so they aren't perfectly balanced but just as good as every premium ball I've tested. I haven't had one jump on the Check Go Pro yet which is the indicator that you've got one with an off center core or something.

James,are you gaming the Taylormade stealth?

Placebo effect: that occasion when you use a different MFG golf ball and you play lights out. It's not the ball but your expectations

Painted for me. #wilsonfanboy D9 fairways are silly good! 👍

What's the difference compared to polara golf ball.

How many golf carry bags have you got!

I can’t believe a new ball is released and it’s not a “Talking Balls” video with Chris Dennis (PGA Professional and short game expert ™️). I don’t fancy the raw finish. This might be psychological, but I feel that a matt ball is “rougher” and gets more affected by wind and comes up a club or two shorter than expected.

Need to see a review on them with an inconsistent player such as myself who can drive 2 great and slice the heck out of the next lol

Crazy coincidence on the 2 out of 3 ain't bad reference with the news of Meatloaf passing this morning.

One under and tap in pars does not get much better looks good

Two out of three ain’t bad …. Crazy that you said that not knowing MeatLoaf passed away . Rip . Great content

He should have made the second putt and should have birdied #3 as well. He would have been -3 under and the new Wilson ball obviously helped him.

A little earlier you gave the edge to the Callaway Rogue driver over the Stealth, but now you've got the Stealth in your bag. What's up with that??!!

To be fair, the fairway you missed, you aimed left for a fade. The ball went dead straight as it should, another win for Wilson methinks 👍

What is the cost of this ball compared to Pro V1 and TP5?

Never watched a scratch golfer b so surprised by a good golf shot. I Need to move to the UK

I'm surprised you've not tested the RZN Tour balls to be honest, given their history with nike and all

No mention of feel or spin around the greens on short shots? Some distance balls have a harder feel with and go straighter because of less spin, how about this one?

I would love to try the raw version

Hardy northerner, top off!

5:25 - No deer running through the fairway but we'll still give that bomb the ole FEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTOOOOOOOOON!!!!

Finally a ball not promising distance now for a driver company not claiming speed and distance

Ha ha. Bad etiquette. Golf bag on tee box. Tut tut tut. Love the vlog will give these a try keep it up mate 👍

So they brought back the Wilson True 👍
