Is there a current model? Or is the Duo Pro their "tour ball"?

Anyone play it or the last version?

$30 on budget golf. Great ball that gets overlooked way too much. If you like a ball that feels soft but not mushy, it's perfect.

The FG or the Duo Professional?

I played the FG Tour for a long time, both the 3 and 4 piece versions, and loved it (except the first year of the 4 piece, found it a bit clicky)

I just couldn't find the FG tour on the Wilson website.

Any experience with the DuoPro?

Thanks for the heads up on the Budget golf deal

I play the Wilson Staff FG Tour 2014 version. Never did try the 2017 version because when Budget Golf had the 2014 version on close out I purchased a bunch and still have many boxes in reserve. Not sure if Wilson has discontinued the FG Tour. I don’t see it available on their website either. The FG Tour is an absolutely wonderful 4-piece tour quality ball similar to the Pro V but with a softer feel (to me).

Indeed. A great ball, perfect combination of medium compression and spin. My favorite ball that is getting increasingly difficult to find. On the cheap. Thanks for the heads up. Order just placed for 3 doz.

 

Tried a sleeve of the Duo U last year, didn't feel the same (noticeably softer) as the FG Tours. Thinking the U (no longer listed) has morphed into the Duo Pro. Both being 3-piece balls of similar compression.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

They just came out with a 2019 model. Priced just over $40 per dozen. Very curious to hear how they feel.

A new FG Tour version? Where did you see this? Not on their website or Instagram.

Their website, for whatever reason, has always made it hard to find every version of this fantastic ball.

No idea whatsoever when and if available. But that's what I found a day ago when googling idly.

Well in that case they should be on their website by November

Years ago budgetgolf had a great deal on the FG Tours (something close to $9.99 a dozen for “blemished” ones in a box). Bought a couple dozen. Sadly I do not have any of those left. Never could find a blemish on a single ball and probably one of the best overall feel and playability of any golf ball I ever hit.

Today I got an email from GolfNow with a link to a deal for $24.99/dz. Looks like it’s Revolution Golf so I don’t know if there is a catch because I haven’t tried to purchase yet.

That looks like the 2019 version, does anyone know what was changed? I loved the the last version for the FG Tour, not the longest ball but the performance was what I was looking for.....

I just ordered 5 dz for this season..........

The latest version (2017?) has the gold/black box. I ordered directly from Wilson in November. Does anyone have a boxing history on the FG?

The New FG Tour balls arrived today purchased from Revolution Golf, putted/chipped a few, the new ball feels a little softer off of the putter. I couldn't really tell the difference (2017 ball on the left) when chipping into my indoor net.

I have 35 dozen of the 2017 version stashed away that I got off budgetgolf.com for $17.98 per dozen. It is the best golf ball I have every struck with a golf club by far. I did some head to head testing with 10 other tour ball and it was amazing how well they performed in comparison to all the other tour balls. My spin numbers were perfect with all my clubs when I put it on Trackman and they are excellent in the wind also. The best ball ever...yet most are not even aware of them...which is good for us I suppose because they can be had for really good prices if you are patient. Excellent golf ball.

Played the 2019 version today. Ball test betwixt the MTBX and FG. FG is the better ball without question. MTBX has some funny flight issues, loses its lift and nose dives off the driver, has the fall out of the sky disease. Fg was 10-20 yrds longer off the driver (ss 105mph) and close to a club longer off the mid irons.

Goldilox. Pathetic these are not more popular and not being carried in the stores to grab a sleeve to demo.

Longest ball I've ever hit. I'm WRX short, but was able to reach a par 5 in 2 twice w this ball.

I was playing with a former Tour Pro and I told him that I was going through some ball testing and thought that I had found the one. When I told him that the FG Tour X was the best of the bunch by far he seemed to not believe me until we got to hole 5 and I had a short sided 15 yard wedge shot from the rough. I hit the shot and it hit 3 inches from the flag and stuck in place. It didn't suck back or kick forward, it literally stuck in place, and the greens were not soft so it didn't embed into the green. He shook his head and said "don't you ever play a different golf ball...wtf!" I get perfect spin numbers with all the clubs and it feels great off the putter. In my testing with all the other tour balls I would hit green side chip shots and all the others would hit, check, then roll forward 4 feet or so. The "Willy Son" would literally hit and stick on the 2nd bounce even from the rough. So glad that I stocked up on them because stopped making them after that year.

Clearly you belong to the group of people that need spin to keep ball in the air. Good for you on that finding.

I had a couple of dozen of the 2017 version that I picked up cheap locally that someone didn't want and I was impressed by the ball to say the least. The FG Tour is an excellent ball and I have kept my eye out for any deals on them but haven't found any that are less than $20 a dozen but the hunt will continue and if I find some, I will stock up on a few!
