Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Heavy metals in leather tanning and dyes, Formaldehyde in leather finishing resins, Azo dyes in leather colorant and Skin sensitization from leather treatment residues on the Srixon 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 Srixon.
  • The Srixon is Cabretta leather, no specified surface treatment where the Wilson is Steel clubheads, graphite shafts, rubber grips, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
