Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in DWR water-repellent coating and Coating degradation and leaching over time on the Maxfli 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 Maxfli.
- The Maxfli is synthetic leather or polyurethane with water-resistant coating 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 Maxfli grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
