Hey there guys, Mr. Short hitter here. Like a short hitter to me. A viewer sent me some Wilson Triad 2025 golf balls and he also sent me the 2023 version of the same golf ball. So, I’m going to play a few holes with the 2025 version. We’re going to try to compare the new Triad verse the old Triad. Let’s get to it. about 135ish here, guys. Let me hit a eight iron. Probably rushed that shot a little bit because again, there’s people behind me. So, just blocked it out to the right here. So far, this ball did feel kind of soft coming off the face on both of those shots. [Music] I played too much break there. It’s into the wind. And if we go right at the middle of the fairway, we’ve got about 190 to carry the water. So, I can’t afford to go right of that middle. So, we’ll play it left. Some trees on the left side. 190 is probably about the most we’re going to carry it into this wind. Play it left. Play it safe. [Music] Bounced hard. So, we I don’t know. We have 144 here and it’s getting firm. So, I’m going to go ahead and hit an eight iron. Can’t really afford to go long here. [Music] It’s pretty good. Kind of like the alignment aid on this. Maybe a little better than the other one. It’s got black on both sides and red arrows. I got this as a right edge putt. [Music] Let me start it outside the edge, guys. I’m at 82 yards. And I’m just going to hit a shot with each of these balls and just see if I feel a difference with a full 54 degree wedge. Okay, blocked that one out to the right there. Felt solid. Maybe a little on the softer side. That ball was definitely firmer. Definitely firmer. So, the one on the left from down there. So here was definitely firmer and not sure if the logo is different but I know the marking is. So that is the 2023 Triad and that would make this the 2025. So definitely definitely noticeable on that wedge shot there. [Music] Guys, I’m going to guess we’re probably not going to see any noticeable difference in spin from these little short shots between the two balls. Just hit some little 54 degree wedges here. Just land them on the green here and try to roll them up towards where the Camry is just to see. These are the first. I’ll hit the the new ones. Just land them. That one rolled just a little short to where the camera was [Music] about the same. I’ll show you where those balls are landing or stopping. These are the old ones. Pretty much the same. Same landing point looks like to me. Definitely the same landing point. I do find that a little interesting. Felt like I hit those balls pretty much the same. These are the first two with the old triad and then these are the second two with the new triad. I did not expect to see that kind of difference on that little pit shot. Okay, that landed just across from that T. [Music] Same there. [Music] That one landed a little shorter. So, I expect that to be shorter. [Music] Pretty much right on the same spot there. This is the new triad again, the longest. And these are the old triads. a little bit short of that. Play one more hole with the triad. It’s 165, but we’re very much elevated. So, I always take 10 yards off here. So, I’m going to play this at 155. The wind’s hurting a little bit. Bunker’s on both sides, so I’ll hit a six hybrid because the pin is in the front. If you’re a bad bunker player, you may want to lay up short of those bunkers and then pitch it on and make a three or four. Didn’t catch it. Great. I think we’re a little short. Look at this beautiful bridge. The thing I like about this hole is a front pin. You have plenty of options when you miss the green short here. Kind of shortsided. If I land it on the front edge, it’ll probably roll past the hole. So, we can just putt it up this slope or we can hit a hybrid or hit something into the bank. I’m going to pot it and just give it some extra because it’s going up a pretty steep hill. [Music] Gave it too much extra. [Music] All right, guys. A quick reminder. The number one way you can support this channel is by checking out my sponsor, Golfball Planet. And right now, you can get Wilson Triads Gradea A2 $25.99 a dozen at golfballplanet.com. The 2023 and the 2025 balls are a little bit different. The branding is different. The logo is a little different. They took off the WS in the logo. The alignment aid on the 2023 version is a little more streamlined, but the 2025 version is probably going to do a little better job of actually helping you line up your shot. One thing I will say that I was only sent a sleeve of each of these, so these balls really took a beating and I hit at least a 100 golf balls indoors into my impact screen and the balls didn’t really have a scratch on them. not a mark. And I played these balls outside also. I hit a ton of wet shots, 25 yarders and 50 yarders. I’m kind of a traditionalist, so I kind of like the 20 23 packaging a little better than the 2025. But let’s go into the numbers, which is probably the main thing that we’re looking for. Now, from 25 yards, launch the same, spin the same, descent the same, peak height the same. No difference in this golf ball from 25 yards. From 50 yards, the 2025 version launched a half a degree lower. So, the same, but to spin 500 less with the 2025 version. Now, I will say this ball was pretty much the highest spinning ball, the 2023 version in this test. I don’t know any ball that spun that much for 50 yard from 50 yards for me. Uh maybe the tailor made TP5 was probably the highest spinning ball outside of this 2023 Triad, but 7900 with the 2025. That’s plenty of spin from 50 yards with the 7ir. Ball speed was about a mile per hour less with the 2025 version. Launch pretty close. Spin about 350 RPM less. The descent the same, peak height the same, and it carried two yards shorter, and the total was one yard shorter. With the driver, the ball speed was the same. The launch was about a degree and a half higher with the 2025 model. Spin 200 RPM less. The descent 2° steeper, peak height, 2 yards higher, and the carry one yard longer with the 2025 and one yard longer with the total. 2025 version was definitely a little bit softer and the spin is going to be a little bit lower with the longer clubs, the seven irons, the hybrids, the driver. Not a whole lot of difference with the wedge shots and it’s not going to be a huge amount of difference around the greens. Both of these balls were really good performers. I think the reason that they made this change to made the compression a little bit lower with the 2025 is to create more separation between the Triad and their Tour Ball, which is I think the Wilson Staff Tour. If you want me to review the Wilson Staff Tour, leave a comment down in the comment section. And if you enjoyed the video, like, comment, subscribe. Until next time, Mr. Short hitter out. To go.

Been looking forward to this one. Others have given good reviews. Your investigation should be noteworthy.
Enjoyed the content as always! An idea struck me for a ball comparison . . . I just got a good supply of the "mint" TP5's from Golf Ball Planet after liking the "B" grade earlier ones (which was all they had at that time). It might be interesting to compare new ones against one or more grades of GBP balls. I can't tell any difference, especially w/ the "mint" ones from new balls. I'm thinking there couldn't be much difference. Anyway, enjoyed the video!
Mr short hitter, what is ur handicap index
I’ve been playing the 25 Triad for a few months. For some reason, I’ve had some of my longest drives in a couple of years with this ball. Long! Seems to hold the line when I’m trying to hit a push draw and just rolls out.
Played today on the Oregon Coast in a windy and wet fairway and again, the longest drive! I usually play two balls to compare, Vice, Pro V 1, etc. same thing.
In the summer it’s like concrete so tons of roll. Now wet but still tight fairways.
I’ve never liked the ProV1. Basically a distance ball with a bit of spin.
Hit a knock down 5 iron into a 25-30 mph wind with rain into a bunkered green at about 145 ish. I’m impressed!
Could you possibly test the Wilson Staff Tour?
Thank You! Amazing on plane swing!!
It is better, but I had to give up on it. Around the green we were not friends
Very interesting, thank you.
Loved the video and comparison! I've played them both 😉and with my seat of the pants launch monitor couldn't tell much difference other than the newer has a little softer feel. So glad you tested for us and drilled deeper than I'm capable of. On a different note, the quality of your videos has really improved (not that they needed to). Top notch MSH! Thank you.
I love the Triad, great ball for my swing speed, 92 mph driver.
Another good review, question, have you tried maxfli trifli fade golf balls? I was shopping online at dicks and oddly enough got them along with yellow Wilson triads ( which I never opened because still had some white to test). The one maxfli trifli fade golf ball that I tested until lost I liked, but of course have no way of testing for numbers. So be curious what kind of numbers maxfli trifli fade golf balls come out for a 3 piece golf ball less then $25
Played both of them. The older one was very unforgiving on miss hits. Slight out of center and it was 2 clubs short. New one way more forgiving on miss hits
I bought a dozen 2025 Triad and I don't like it. I've been trying to use it up as soon as possible. It feels like I'm hitting rocks.
I may have to give these a try!
I play both Triad and Staff balls quiet often. Both are fantastic balls. Wilson has definitely stepped back into golf. Yes please review the Wilson Staff and Staff X. Thank you.
I think the triad has sort of a dull heavy feel when struck… I like wilson golf though. I prefer either the duo soft or higher end staff model.
Thanks MSH. I’ve recently moved from a Pro V1 to a Triad. I couldn’t tell any difference except the price! It would be great if you could compare the Triad v Staff model. Cheers
But which one was better?
I've recently tried this new Triad and I really like it a lot. Between the maxfli Straightfli and the Triad as my top balls. The Triad may now be my #1. It just performs so good for me. Thanks for the review.
Another great review!
Thanks for this review, MSH!
I have also played both and there’s not a huge difference, although it did seem that the 2023 model would occasionally come up a couple yards short with irons on what felt like a solid strike. And I haven’t noticed that with the newer model. I assumed that was either the higher spin of the older model, or that I really didn’t hit that shot as well as I thought I did 😂. I didn’t see any difference off the tee or around the greens or with wedges. The Triad, the Vice Pro line, and the Tour Response are my favorite balls in this 3-piece “value urethane” category. I think they’re all great balls. I personally like the lower spin of the Tour Response, because I get a few more yards and it still spins enough for my game.
Thank you. "Hit'em straight "
