Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Durable water-repellent (DWR) chemical treatment - likely PFAS-based, Formaldehyde in polyurethane or fabric finishing resins, Azo dyes in colored synthetic leather and Polyurethane degradation and leachates on the and not on the Wilson.
  • We flag Graphite shaft resin degradation and fiber exposure, Rubber grip deterioration and skin contact and Nickel or chromium sensitivity from steel clubheads on the Wilson and not on the .
  • The is synthetic leather or polyurethane with water-repellent treatment where the Wilson is Steel clubheads, graphite shafts, rubber grips, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Wilson is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
