Just brought some Nike One Platinum golf balls to try them out after i read this fantastic review about them, i just changed in the last few months to the Pro v because of my 125 MPH swing speed (just wondering if these will still work very well at this swing speed, as some golf balls don't), has anybody played these and had good results or maybe quite the oppisite. Please let me no, thanx.
By the way, I am playing tomorrow but just want to how others have gorne with these balls!

I don't think you need to worry about your swing speed with the Nike One Platnium since it's what Tiger was using the last couple years (before switching to the new Nike One Tour ball this year). Tiger and Nike admit it is not the longest ball, though. It's designed for more spin, but doesn't have the distance of most other premium ball (Tiger always said the spin and control were so good he was willing to sacrifice a few yards). I personally liked the feel of the Platnium and had good results with it, but stopped playing it simply because of the price. I might have to pick some up now that the price has dropped to almost reasonable.

I play the Nike One Platinums and love them. They dropped the price a little while back which is nice as well. I don't have as much swing speed as you but I do have decent swing speed. The ball gets great spin and feels good around the green imo.

I picked up a dozen of One Blacks at Dicks the other day for $29 (I also had a rewards gift certificate, otherwise I wouldn't have bought brand new balls, even at that good price). The Blacks work better for me because I don't need all the spin (especially on my longer clubs). Now is a good time to pick up these premium balls at a mid-tier price point because once they sell out of exisiting stock that'll be it.

I received a dozen of the One Platinum a few weeks ago and tried them out. After the 9th hole I decided they were the best ball I ever dropped and fired into a field. So now I use them to hit a few shots if I can't get a warm-up in before my round. Seriously, never had much luck with these. I guess I can't compress them enough or whatever to get the flight correct. But I know people that swear by them so different strokes I guess.

I like the feel of the Platinum, off the tee and around the green. I'll either play the Platinums or the ProV1's, both are equal in my mind.

The TA2/Spins I fell in love with also, I think they are a tad better than the Platinums, IMO.

    • I think 95% is more accurate. The leader of our course rating program shot from the hip and said 90%, but I recently read elsewhere that it is more like 95%. So we spend 4 hours or more on a course with a team of 6 to 8 people to figure out the last few rating strokes as to whether they exist or not due to difficulty. I credit this site/forum for getting my interest up in volunteering for my state association. I am marshalling for the US Mid Am qualifier later this morning 15 min from my home. We get shirts, hats, 1/4 zips, a cart with our name on it, a radio, lunch and unlimited snacks all while watching some great golfers. πŸ™‚

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong).
