Wilson 2025 Duo Soft Golf Balls (Dozen)

The 2025 Wilson Duo Soft is a 37 compression, two piece ball for $24.99 a dozen, one of the lowest compression balls you can buy from a major brand.

Why it made the list

Wilson markets the Duo franchise as the world’s softest golf ball, and the number backs the feel. Wilson lists the 2025 Duo Soft at 37 compression, down from 40 on the previous model, which makes it one of the lowest figures from any major brand. For a golfer whose swing has slowed, a ball that squashes easily feels soft, launches high and doesn’t send a jolt through the hands on a thin strike.

It costs $24.99 a dozen at Golf Galaxy, and it comes in six colors.

What it does well

• A newly designed, high energy core aims for more distance off the tee than the previous Duo Soft.
• The two layer construction keeps spin down on long shots, which Wilson says gives the straightest flight in the Duo family.
• A tough Surlyn cover stands up to cart paths and trees, so a dozen lasts a while.
• Bright red, orange, green, yellow and pink versions make it easy to find in the rough or follow against a gray sky.

Who it’s for

It suits seniors and juniors with slow swings, women starting out, high handicappers who feel firm balls in their hands, and anyone who plays in cold weather, when every ball feels firmer than it does in summer.

Who should skip it

Golf Monthly’s review notes that it isn’t suitable for swings over 100 mph, and a very soft ball can feel spongy and fly short for faster players. Golfers who want greenside spin should also look elsewhere, because a low compression Surlyn ball runs out after it lands on chips and pitches. It also wasn’t part of MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, so there are no ranked robot numbers to compare it on.

Key specs, explained

Compression describes how much a ball deforms at impact. At 37, the Duo Soft flattens easily, which is why it feels so soft and why slower swings can compress it fully. The two piece design pairs a large core with a Surlyn cover, the most durable and lowest spinning way to build a ball. Low spin off the driver adds roll and keeps a slice or hook from curving as far.

How it compares

The Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls (Dozen) is listed at 38 compression and had the lowest driver spin of 48 balls at 86 mph in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 test, for $26.99. The Titleist 2026 TruFeel Golf Balls (Dozen) is firmer, around 60 to 70, and tested longer at slow speeds for the same $24.99. Pick the Duo Soft when feel matters most and your swing is under about 80 mph.

Good to know

If you go through a lot of balls, the catalog also lists the Wilson Duo Soft Golf Balls (Double Dozen) at Golfballs.com. Golf Galaxy has run a buy two for $40 offer on the Duo Soft TRK360 version, which adds an alignment graphic. The white dozen is linked here.

Questions about the Duo Soft

What is the compression of the Wilson Duo Soft?

Wilson lists the 2025 Duo Soft at 37 compression. That is one of the lowest numbers from a major brand.

Is the Duo Soft good for seniors?

Yes, especially for seniors who swing under about 80 mph. It launches high, feels very soft and comes in colors that are easy to see.

Does a softer ball go farther?

Not always. Robot tests in 2026 found firmer balls like the Titleist TruFeel longer at 86 mph, so soft mainly helps feel and launch.
