I tried a Nike Golf Nike One Black Golf Ball in a match play knockout yesterday, I play off 21 and my opponant was off 12 so granted i did have a few shot in hand. 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 awat from the hole, infact on one hole i was around 25 feet away and missed the putt by inches.
i can not really comment on the spin factor because i very rarely get back spin but for the low handicappers i would imagine they could use these with ease.
The ball has a lot of durability and is still nice and shiny, the only down side is that a dozen cost around £30 that over £2 per ball.
if you are struggling dfor distance give one a go, but if you tend to lose balls why waste your money stay with what you have.
I would have to say though that the Nike One black is well worth the money if you want more distance and more control, Personally i do think they are better than most golf balls on the market and i have to say they seem better than my usual Titleist PTS solo, but i cannot afford to buy the Nike so i will have to use PTS, however, i will purchase a sleeve of 3 for special events and knockouts, but in the Saturday comps i will continue to use PTS.
