Just curious. Is there another golf ball that is equivalent to the Nikes?
I came up with a simple way for me to compare balls. I take the cost of 1 ball and divide it by the total number of dots of performance.
For example a Cally L33 is 83.33 credits per ball. It's total performance dots is 11.5 So the ball costs 7.246 credits per dots. A WGT G13S ball is 33 credits. It has 5.5 dots of performance. So it costs 6.00 credits per dot of performance.
A Nike L48 and a Volvik L51 both cost 133.33 credits per ball. They both have 13.5 dots of performance. So each dot is 9.876 credits per ball.
When you look at the slower 4.0 meter balls the Nikes are a better value compared to the Callys.
Nike Platinum is 216.67 credits per ball, and has 16.5 dots of performance. Cost is 13.131 credit per dot. Nike Black is 233.33 credits per ball, and has 16.6 dots. Cost is 14.056 credit per dot. Nike Tour (L92) is 250 credits per ball and has 17 dots of performance. Cost is 14.706 credits per dot.
Cally L67 Truvis is 208.33 credits per ball. It has 14 dots of performance. Cost is 14.881 credits per dot.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing. I know I threw a lot of numbers around.

Just to putt this to bed, very very late, the old Nike is now the new TP5 L92 it seams going off the information available.
In my opinion the best ball for the price, at the top end anyway, to be competitive in Champion & Tour Champion events & Tournements.
Sorry for the late response, but I never had the chance to use any Nike equipment whatever. I’ve just passed 1 year been playing, well, 400 days as I haven’t missed a day since I started.
