Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes in leather or synthetic overlays, Chromium residue in tanned leather, DWR coating stability and degradation and Antimony in polyester on the Adidas 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 Adidas.
  • The Adidas is Leather/synthetic with DWR 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 Adidas grade, at 42% 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 →
