As the title says, I'm looking for a comparison. I love the feel of the NOP but I feel like I can get the feel out of a different ball with an increase in distance. The NOP is the only premium ball I have ever played so I'm not sure what's out there performance wise. Alot of people say the Platinum is the shortest premium ball by about 10 yards, I don't know if that is true because I have never played anything else. My driver swing speed is about 95 mph. If any of you have any suggestions please fire away.

FWIW: I am looking for the feel of the Platinum off the putter. Looking for the spin off the short irons with the Platinum. Looking for a ball that is longer than the Platinum.

I used to play the Nike One Platinum up until about a year and a half ago when I switched to the One Black because I felt like I was losing yardage on my drives (the ball flight seemed like it was "ballooning"). I really missed the feel of the NOP when I switched though. Now that the new Nike One lineup has come out, I decided to give the Nike One Tour a try and really like it. I get a feel very much like the NOP but without as much spin off the driver. The only downside is that they don't seem anywhere as durable as the NOB or even what I remember the NOP to be like. If you want the feel of the NOP but without the "yardage loss", try the new One Tour.

This is a pretty predictable post but give the Pro V1 a try, it really is a great ball for spin, distance and durability.

I know I am a high handicapper but I love the Callaway Tour iX. My yardage off the tee is good and I can feel the club face bite the ball on contact. Anyone who says they cant feel the difference in a premium ball is high. Get them off of Lostgolfballs.com so you don't have to pay $45 a box.

Thanks for everyones input so far. I'll give the Nike One Tour a shot along with the Callaway Tour i. I'm still up in the air about the Bridgestone B330s and B330RX. Thanks again.

i still think you should give a sleeve of wilson tx4 a try they had second highest spin but were also like 5th in distance they won't lose you distance or spin. i would play them but i am cheap and buy used balls and lost golf balls doesn't have any in

What? This ball is awesome...if your swing speed is between 103-115 mph.

My swing speed is not that high so I'm hesitant about this ball (B330S). If I tried any of the Bridgestones it would probably be the B330 RX. A freind of mine gave me a sample sleeve of the Srixon TriSpeeds so I'll try those and see what happens. Chipping around the yard it feels close to the same as the Platinum but I can tell just by chipping around it does not have the spin the Platinum does. But for free I'll try any ball.

TOTALLY agree. Great distance and there is no better putting ball, and feel around the greens and scoring clubs. NO comparison (my opinion)
