00:00 I've got a secret for you that you might not want to share with your golf buddies.

00:03 Wilson completely redesigned the staff model golf ball and what this thing can do is wild.

00:08 But I think we need to slice one of these open to really see what's going on.

00:11 This here is a beautiful four-piece ball.

00:13 But what does all that even mean?

00:15 Think of it like this.

00:16 The core of the golf ball basically acts like the engine.

00:18 When you're smashing this baby with your driver, the core compresses to store up an insane

00:23 amount of power.

00:24 Here's the problem.

00:25 When the core gets compressed, it completely loses its shape.

00:28 Kind of like this.

00:29 If you're not hitting the ball perfectly square on the face, when that core rebounds, it can

00:33 send the ball spinning in a direction you might not have wanted.

00:36 But to save the day, in comes the first layer of the mantle.

00:39 What this does is helps maintain the shape of the core of the ball.

00:42 So as it's storing up all of that energy and getting ready to burst out into one of the

00:46 longest drives you've ever hit in your life, it has a chance to stay accurate now by reducing

00:51 the spin on the ball.

00:52 But what about that second layer in the mantle?

00:54 I thought you'd never ask.

00:55 That layer is quite a bit more firm and gives support to the cover, helping generate more

01:01 spin on the ball for shorter shots and iron play.

01:04 And last but not least, that oh so beautiful cover on the ball.

01:07 Not only does this layer do the job of protecting all the inner workings of this golf ball,

01:11 the responsiveness of the urethane cover helps you generate even more spin.

01:15 How are we reducing spin and adding spin?

01:17 Is there less spin or is there more spin?

01:19 That's the crazy thing is it's both.

01:21 That's from the four layers of this ball working together in symphony to help you with any

01:25 distance shot, this brand new golf ball can be your secret weapon.
