A senior friend of mine, who is a pretty good golfer, swears by the Wilson DX2 Soft golf ball. Can anybody tell me the difference between the DX2 and the DX3 balls, apart from a £2 per dozen difference in price? 
Wilson DX2 and DX3 golf balls?

At my level I would probably struggle to tell any difference, but I've noticed then don't come out that well in any ball tests the mags do with regards to spin. And the AD333 is usually the one to go for in that range as long as the differential isn't that much. But if you can get some blemished FG Tours then fill your boots as they are a good ball if you can get the blemished price.

clearly somethings are too obvious for some people..........
the DX2 is a 2 piece construction
the DX3 is a 3 piece construction

Both very good balls and the blemish FG Tour are excellent value.

I use the DX2 soft's and think they are a very good ball. Not a great fan off the AD333, went from them to Soft feels which I preferred. Couldn't get any soft feels so tried the DX2's and kept them ever since.
Just waiting for the next deal too come up on them.

They are very popular at our place but mainly due to the cheap deal that has being done with them
In terms of performance?

That will be different for everyone
Give each one a try and see how they work for you

I always thought the diffeence between the 2 was similar to prov1 and v1x. Higher spin?
Never tired DX3 though as tbh the DX2 is the d's b's

Believe that the DX2 is only 40 compression, which is pretty soft. 90 to 100 used to be normal! :mmm:

they are both 40 compression
they both have the same cover material and dimple pattern (before you go there too)

So do they both feel like hitting marshmellows? I've never tried one as I have never yet found one in the rough (our members tend to use Pro V's!). :mmm:

Hitting an iron with these balls is like hitting butter. They have a tremendous feel.

Dx2, plays like an ad333 or titleist velocity
Dx3, plays like a ad333 tour or nxt tour

Played the DX3 a couple of years back and found it ok. FG Tour is a great ball though.

Pretty fair comparison. I had a sleeve of DX2 from the H4H raffle and was pretty pleased with the way they played. I'd complained about a pudding like feel from Wilson before but these were good around the greens too

Wouldn't a ball made of butter just stick to the club and go nowhere??? :mmm:

IMHO yes.
As American Golf were offering a 10% discount to their loyalty card holders, plus a buy one get one at half price offer on Wilson balls, I bought 2 dozen DX3 Soft balls. Have tried them and was not particularly impressed! They feel too soft, even for a short hitting old git like me. Having said that, they do go a decent distance and stop around the greens. However they also seem to take more sidespin on slight miss-hits than my normal ball. I sold one box to a friend at cost price, and he seems to concur with my opinions on them. I'm sure that I will use them up during the Winter, and I won't look that hard if I lose one!
