Hey gang,
I had to post about the New Nike One Vapor ball, I was in the pro shop yesterday to pick up some new eggs, I have been playing with almost every ball under $25 bucks over the last 2 years.

Well, I saw these new Nike One Vapors and at $26.00 and I thought why not try them out, as it suppossed to compete with the Bridgestone 330RX at $40.00 and I swing in low 90's mph.

I have to say it is a great three piece ball, awesome distance, felt solid but not too hard, The cover is really tough, took a cart path off a high hybrid shot with only a minor scuff. The feel was really good, a few chips from 20 yard in and it stuck well. I had several 100 yds in and it seemed to spin good, Not like a well struck pro v but pretty close. It putted well, the feedback and sound is nice. I think I have found a new ball for 2009.

Fairways and greens to all of you.

I am going to try the vapor next, I have heard good things about it. Have you hit the Taylor Made Burner TP ball to compare the two?

I bought a box of the Nike One Tour the other day. I normally play the One Black, and I used to play the One Platinum but thought it "ballooned" too much off the tee. The One Tour sticks much better than the Black (as is to be expected), but I was disappointed in the durability of the cover. It had significant scuff/cut marks from just chipping around the practice green. I know you can't stop that form happening, but it's much worse that what I remember the old Platinum doing.

I got a dozen One Vapor balls today as a deal sweetener with my new irons, I will post back in a couple of days when I have played with them.

    • Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  
    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.     
    • Welcome to The Sand Trap!
    • Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry 
    • I usually just drink a beer after playing golf. I may stretch my arm out and alert the barkeep that I want a second beer!
