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).

Black isn't for me...

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

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

Agreed.

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.

    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
