  LOVE the new Nike balls (although for 450 credits every ball should go in the hole!).. unless, of course, I'm playing in an RG... then, as usual, all bets are off... Making 12 birdies in 13 holes in the free tourneys... then the usual funny business (lipouts, whacky bounces, etc.) happens when you pay a freaking dollar to play... lol...

  I have a couple of hundred other balls to use up first then I'll give them a try. Might be a month or so.

  I know the feeling, I have a bucket load of balls in the bag...lol. The Jury is still out with distance, I get outdriven by Golf balls with 2 dots... and the Nikes have got 5 dots Distance....lol.

  I stuck with em and there is something about them that has made my scores get lower. As I said, took me awhile to get use to the Ball, but I think It could be better than the Call's.

  Could be just the way I play, they could be suited to my game...don't know.

  Now saying that... the game will hammer me.....lol

  I've given the Nikes a goodish try out used up 8 sleeves of them, I did manage a personal best of 26 on Beth front 9, but find them a bit 2 advanced for me.

  Switched back to the calloways and first round out 26 at Beth and then a 27 at St Andrews.

  The Nikes are a great ball but the extra $1.50 is a little steep,

  Horses for courses and each to there own

  Happy hitting :)

  I didn't buy them.. not sure how I got them.  I was just looking at what I had for balls (I'd just been re-buying the same Callaway's since they added that feature a few months ago).  I had a sleeve of these Nike's, some vapor balls from the two World Series teams, and  some others..  Maybe they gave everyone some of them to try?
