...or left. What most longer handicap golfers are most concerned with is the actual distance they can hit the ball, and it’s in this department that the Srixon Distance excels. It’s a two-piece construction, solid-core ball with a high velocity core and a hard, durable “Ionomer” cover. Don’t ask me what “Ionomer” actually means, mind you. Golf ball manufacturers are forever coming up with new buzzwords to try to convince potential purchasers that they have made some sort of breakthrough in design, which will dramatically improve their game. The truth is that “Ionomer” is just another buzzword for an extremely durable surlyn (hard rubber) outer cover.

Advantages: Extra distance with the driver. Excellent control and spin. Well priced high performance golf ball for the average golfer.

I have never used a Nike one black (the ball is white however) but was very impressed with the result. I found the ball which has a thin urethene cover and a enanced 408 dimples very long to hit, Longer than my usual PTS Solo golf balls. I was very impressed with the length and how straight it flew in the air. Off the tee I only missed two fairways but the length was very impressive. I won my game 3 and 2 and to be honest I didn't really need the shots. Really though i found the combination of the balls and my Ping G2 driver excellent. on the greens my ball did truely roll further and felt very nice to hit. I felt the disatnce almost with my first putt, and was never 2 foot... Read review
