Nike "juice" ball

[passintime]

Hey all. I was at a discount sports store today and saw a bunch of these Nike Juice Plus 312 balls. They were 9.99/dozen so I picked up a lot. Can anyone tell me about these? Your experiences? I was going to play them in a practice round Friday before a best ball tourney on Sunday. I will also prob give some to my friends/ family for Sunday if the review is favorable. Thanks!

I called and talked to a Nike golf dept employee last week. He said that the Juice is "very similar" to the new Crush ball. I am guessing it is basically the same ball with a new paint job. Geared to lower to mid swing speeds for distance and straight flight. Not sure about feel, (soft/hard). I have tried a few before but never had good success. Don't read too much into that, I'm a 30 handicap and I don't have too much success with any ball. :)

It was the first ball I ever used.

I really dont think they are too bad feel wise. I got loaded up on them last xmas from family and use them here and there.

They are pretty much the same as any other $20/pack ball.

Lots of distance, not a lot of feel or spin. It's a typical $10/dozen golf ball

A received a dozen as a gift one time. I really liked them. I usually play NXT Tour or DT So-lo. I thought that Juice Ball gave me more distance without giving up too much. If I saw them for $10-15 a dozen, I'd pick up another box. I might have to give that Crush ball a try!

I found one and played a couple rounds with it. Definitely longer than any ball I have ever played. Seemed to reduce sidespin also.

They're rocks. If you lose a lot of golf balls they are a good choice, but nothing more.

Iteresting, I'm not saying they are soft but I didn't find them to be Rocks either (put your basic TopFlight comment here) and I generally prefer a softer ball.

I am just coming up on 3 years playing. The 3 wood is the only club from my original configuration (and I just put that back in the bag as I can now finally hit it off the fairway)

I found them to be pretty hard.

Hello, I play to a 13 handicap. I found one of these nike juice- plus balls and played with it for about 15 holes. I was impressed with feel and distance. Drives were 10-15 yards further that my Callaways. Irons felt good but ball hits green and runs. Overall, I liked the ball very much. Just bought a couple of dozen for $25. Cheap enough to not have to bother looking for balls in woods!

Yep not too bad, played them for a long time/ until they stopped selling them around me. I was playing down to a 5 handicap with them no problems.
