  And let's be honest. While they're decent balls, it's simply the characteristics of the balls we get used to. Those characteristics can be slapped on to any name whether it's Nike, Callaway, or Bridgestone?...

  Exactly!

  Perhaps one day we have to adapt to new ball irrespective of how much we pre-stock nikes. So I will take my chance with new balls whenever it comes to market and find a way to get along :) 

  No thanks to pre-stocking !! :) :D

  Hope you are right and they replace the Nikes with something with the same qualities as the Nikes. I use the Nike 80 ball and would find it difficult to adjust back to the lower level spin and meter of the Callaway's.

  What's in a name! Who cares what they call their balls as long as they perform to Nike standard

  Thanks for your time

  I just hope someone is playing them now so all the bugs are all worked out of them...

  Not like all the other things that are brought to the tee and then say oops.....we need to work on that....

  If, after they're gone, anybody wishes to view the stats of the Nike balls to compare whatever they may be replaced with, here is a PowerPoint presentation I made earlier.  : )

  Don't suppose there is any chance of WGT giving us the specs of the new balls before they ditch the Nike's ?

   

  Just the numbers. Don't care about the branding.  I'm not holding my breath.
