Wilson Men's Profile Complete Golf Set is the clear pick. Titleist Women's Players Flex Golf Glove carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PTFE/PFAS in water-resistant finish, Leather tanning residue (chromium or aluminum) and DWR coating leaching during hand washing or perspiration 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 Leather and synthetic blend with water-resistant 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 Titleist grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.

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 →
