Wilson Golf Ball Review

By Lyle@Nymble

Specs

The Wilson PX3 performance golf ball is a three-piece ball combining the best in maximum distance technology and spin for control around the greens. The ball features 312 flat-bottomed dimples designed to stabilize the ball in flight. The Nano Tech core is soft and lively and the HPF mantle layer produces higher spin rate and high acceleration off the clubface. Wilson identifies this ball as made for players looking for the best combination of distance, playability and control around the greens.

Perks

While not the top-tier tour ball, the PX3 performance ball gives the average to better-than-average amateur great distance off the tee, more than enough spin off the irons to stop the ball and a soft feel that helps promote a smooth putting stroke. While Wilson is not really known for its golf balls the same way it is for its clubs, this is a very good ball for most players.

Sacrifices

For players who don't care about spin, this ball does not travel as far as the distance version of the same ball. For low-handicap players who need the extra spin, this ball may not spin quite enough. It is designed for the average to better-than-average player.

Bottom Line

Wilson has made a terrific golf ball that carries well, spins enough for most average amateur players and feels soft on the putter face.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
