The Second Triad Leg: Spin
Common sense says, and our Ball Test data suggests, a ball that’s low spin off the driver isn’t going to be high spin off irons.

The Last Leg
The third leg of the Triad is consistency. Wilson calls it Tri-Balanced construction, a patented technology that is basically an offshoot of the high MOI design. The theory is if all three layers of the ball are density balanced, then the ball should be perfectly balanced. And all three layers should be perfectly concentric.
