Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microplastic shedding or degradation and Choking or ingestion hazard (pediatric) on the Titleist 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 Titleist.
- The Titleist is Synthetic rubber/polymer core, ionomer cover 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 →
