  Hello WGT, I'm in need of some useful feedback and opinions. I currently use the Nike 20XI-X (48+) balls. I have heard in the past that these balls are inconsistent with distances, and I'm finally getting to understand that now. Are the Callaway Tour i(z) (L45+/Legend+) balls consistent? Is the decreased feel worth it? Any opinions are accepted. I just want to make sure I'm using credits on something that's useful, for I don't have that many. HEHE!

  ..........all I can tell you about the Nike's are the more spin u put on them the distance will go down.....if ya don't use any spin they go farther than normal.......they are great balls it's just ya have to get use to how much spin to use

  The most constant balls ive played were the lvl35z callaway balls.  The nike lvl71 will do things they wont, im actually going to try the lower level distance nikes  to see if good compromise.

  Any others thoughts on that?

  I noticed nothing major between the two Nike balls except for a 1 yard of distance loss. That's about it though. The only thing I'm worried about is if I switch to Cally's, will the meter become way too fast? Thanks Don for your input.

  I think it has everything to do with what ball your comfortable with. I have used them all & believe it not some of my best scores have come from WGT  G13D s. Meter speed is the same as Callaways & that's where it stops  & I mean stops, yet??  Go figure  cause I can't.

  Someone yesrtaerday was askin for where to see reviews of equipment and YJ linked to a chart guide that had specs for everything, but unfortunately it didn't include the latest Nikes and whatever came out last month.

  But a while ago I was given the Legend + level 55 Callaways and thought they were stupendous. Now I am gonna try the Legend 45 Callaway 'z's as they have a 9 for distance.

  Don't need spin anymore with these R11's.

  I cant comment on the legend balls, but i find while the meter is a bit faster for the cally balls, it's smother, the nike meter is slower,but jumps and skips more for me. IMHO

  That seems like a valid point, because I've been getting tons of jumps and skips with these Nikes.
