The Wilson Triad is one of the best mid-price golf balls on the market and is an ideal choice for mid-handicap golfers who are looking for the feel and control of a urethane model without having to pay the premium price of a Tour golf ball. That being said, such is the versatility of the Triad that a scratch golfer could also use this ball and not really notice any significant drop off from whatever premium golf ball they are using. This ball is such a good all rounder that it doesn’t really have any specific weakness and will do a good job for golfers of virtually all skill levels.
Yet other than myself, I don’t personally know anybody who games the Triad and that baffles me somewhat.

Whether this is just clever marketing or it actually gives Triad an edge over the competition when it comes to putting is hard to say, but in theory it makes sense.
The aesthetics have changed a little, with the alignment line having been given a facelift. The Wilson Staff initials have been removed from the logo too, but overall it isn’t hugely different. Given that the new Soft Duo ball has now been brought into line with the other best Wilson golf balls, there is a fairly uniform look about all of the main balls in the Wilson range.

I’ve been playing the Triad for a few years since I went to a professional driver fitting with Wilson’s tour fitters. As well as getting me fitted into a Dynapower driver that I still use today, they recommended that I switch from the premium golf ball I was using at the time (the
