This golf ball by Wilson offers what may be the softest feel of any long distance, high spin, high performance golf ball. It has already been honored on the Hot List by Golf Digest; it received the silver award.
Even the original Zip Ball made the Hot List the year before. Any number of players are, at the very least, giving the Wilson Staff Zip Ball a try; more times than not, they are sticking with it not so much out of loyalty to the Wilson name but because of the performance this ball offers.

Will It Give You Some Distance Increases?
The Wilson Staff Zip Ball penetrates the air during flight in a stable manner, thanks to the shallow, flat bottomed dimples, one of a kind in their design. It gives a soft feel and higher spin because it grabs the club face with the amazingly soft ironomer. This ball is multilayered and was specifically designed for spin and distance. The cover coupled with its zero compression core also promotes ball speed.
Forgiveness Factor
The spin on this ball will stop a shot like a brick wall. And the lower compression core and multilayer construction are unmatched by any other golf ball. With the soft feel of this ball, you won’t even need to hit it like The Hulk to take advantage of its long distance and high spin. Players with a medium speed swing will find this ball by Wilson ideal off of wedges and drivers.
Will It Empty Your Wallet?
The Wilson Staff Zip is sold in double dozen boxes but I have seen it sold by the dozen on Internet discount sites such as Amazon as inexpensively as $10.00. A double dozen box has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $29.99; but watch out for sales and online discounts. Technically, a ball that feels this soft but performs this well is a bargain compared to other balls that are supposedly built for distance and spin, some selling for $45.00 a dozen.
Wilson’s Reputation
On a 5 star rating this ball received 5 out of 5 stars on some sports websites and 4 ½ out of 5 stars on Amazon. You can’t do much better than that, right? The following are some reviews:
• Compared to Titleist and Callaway balls which sell for far more, the Wilson staff zip performs as well or more so; thanks to its forgiving nature and soft feel.
• This ball is ideal for people with medium to slow swings, and perfect for the over 60 crowd.
• Not only did this ball give me the distance that I can achieve with more expensive balls, but it helped to turn my slice into more of a fade. I don’t have to aim for the front of the green anymore because the spin that I receive from this ball is incredible. I can aim for where I want the ball to stop and it will.
