Nike One Gold review...

[Chris (Golf Dude)]

Very nice ball, can work this one pretty nicely.

Good Distance, but, not as far as the Srixon Z-UR... Farther than the BlackMAX.

Off the Irons... Good Workable ball, can controll it nicely, but, I played the BlackMAX, and they were better.

Off the Short clubs, can stop this ball okay, not like a Pro V1 or Srixon Z-UR. The BlackMAX spins too much for me.

Putter: Nice, very nice feel off the putter.


All in All, a very well made ball from Nike.


Next Ball: Callaway HX Tour 56... I heard these spin like crazy, and if you hit it good, it will put excessive backspin.....

I haven't ever played any of the Nike balls. I wonder which is most like the Pro V1x, perhaps with a little bit more spin (but nowhere near as much as the V1).

The Nike One Black is your Pro V1x.....

Black isn't for me...

The Nike One Black is your Pro V1x.....

The black is like a v1x with more spin to me. The gold is more like a V1.

A'ight. Cool. I just wish the Nike balls had a "straighter" logo so that I could use it when aligning my putts.

Agreed.

Draw a line on it Erik. You know those little plastic things that fit over the ball with a guide to put your sharpie.

I would, but I don't like a big ugly line on my ball.

FWIW, I played 9 holes today with a Nike ONE Gold, and it seemed to act a lot like a Pro V1x. The black spins even less? That's gonna be tough to imagine. It's not like I was ballooning shots with the Gold or anything.

Hmmmmm. With the V1x and the V1, the difference is very clear. I dunno if the difference between the Gold and the Black (and the Platinum too?) is very big.

Thoughts, anyone??? Above, I was told the Black would be my V1x.

Hmm. I got a bunch of spin out of that black... It felt a little softer than an X. But these days I'm liking the X a little more...

Strange........ I played with both of them, and I can see the difference off the greens. Black spins lesser. Gold Spins more. As for distance, Gold is more like a Pro V1 for me.......

A little more time with the gold today and I can see how it spins more like a V1. If I had to label the balls, though, I'd put the gold as spinning less than the V1 but more than the V1x. If the black spins less than the V1x, then that'll be too little spin for me.
