I normally play the ProV1X. I was given a dozen Nike One Tour (Red box) and I was wondering how the two compared just so I had some idea what to except when I put them in play for the first time.

I played both today and I really liked the Nike ball. The titleist was too much for me and had too much sidespin for my driver and such. The Nike worked pretty good for me and it had a scuff on one side of it. I liked it a lot and it worked great getting on the green and sticking pretty well.

If this chart is to be believed, there's not much difference...at least with the wedges. http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-equip...alls_spinchart

I don't think so. Here's a link to the main article: http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-equip...2010-golfballs

Rudy,
How does the driver distance compare for you? How does the One Tour compare to the One Tour D?

Well, one is the number one ball in golf (Titleist), and the other isn't (Nike)

One will leave you close to the pin for birdie (Titleist), the other will leave you somewhere OB (Nike) One will drive 290+ yards down the center of the fairway on an easy swing (Titleist), The other would be lucky to drive pass the ladies tees (Nike) One has won more majors and tournaments than all others combined (Titleist), the other is played by a washed up has been golfer (Nike) So there you have it, but seriously both balls are about the same, and since you're not a pro you won't be able to tell the difference, so have fun playing both and enjoy your round

Rudy,

I haven't played the newest Pro V1x as much as the Nike balls, but for me driving distance was very similar among all three. If forced to rank all three for distance I would say One Tour D, Pro V1x, One Tour from longest go shortest. Same order for driver spin, least to most.

If I were ranking wedge spin and putter softness, I'd say One Tour, Pro V1x, One Tour D, from most to least. I prefer the Pro V1x here. It feels ever so slightly less "clicky" than the Nike balls, without being mushy. Really hard to describe.

Probably not to be believed.

My reasoning? The prov1x has a higher spin rate than the prov1. We all know titleist markets the prov1 as a higher spinning ball. Not to mention anyone who has even tried both the balls. They are very very different as far as spin and feel go. Must be wrong.

Best 9 holes: 35 (Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, 3163y, Par 35/70, 70.0/131)
Best 18: [b]77[b] (Palm Valley CC, 6545y, 71.4/126)
Notable career achievement: I have NEVER four-putt.

It's true, you're not a professional golfer, and I wasn't trying to be rude

I seriously doubt that you can, when known professional golfers cannot

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
