I just picked up a dozen Nike Juice 312 balls yesterday. I have not hit them yet, but the packaging got me. I can't resist a ball that actually has the word GINORMUS printed on the side in green. They are a lower compresion ball that goes for $20/dozen.

No have not tried them yet but been on the website and seen them busting a gum ball machine and I now want to try them when they arrive in the UK.

Can you tell me what there like when you have hit them?

I love the look of the packaging and the fact that they are called juice just makes them even more appealing.
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

All I know is any ball that can do that to a jello mold must be incredible.

Seriously though I was wondering the same thing. Personally I was going to buy up some of the green packaged distance balls (Soft). Plus the 'ignite' ball is on sale a lot around me right now. It's not like I'll be playing a game soon, but let me know.

I really like the Titleist DT SO/LO which I think is supposed to mean soft/long. Could this be a Nike 'version' to compete with the SO/LO? If you like the Juice as much as I do the SO/LO you'll be very happy.

What's in the bag:

Bought a box in Myrtle Saturday and put them in play on Sunday morning at TPC. This ball is long. On two occasions I smoked a five wood past the long drive (driver) off the tee. The ball felt a little harder than the Nike distance soft which I regularly play. I had a little hard time around the green. I only lost three balls yesterday, so I will still have a chance to use the other three sleeves. Inital reaction is to keep using it for now...

I played with a Nike Juice ball this Sunday and it felt like Pro Vx. In iron play and driving it was difficult to tell the difference. Putting and chipping made it more obvious though in that Nike Juice felt harder (more solid) than Vx. Bottom line, I'd play these and save some money, but then again, I lose fewer than a ball per round so it doesn't really matter that much. Juice would be good for beginners.

Yea..Those are some interesting web commercials!

at nikegolf.com (juice ball!!)

However.....I am guessing if you launch any golf ball out of a cannon it will do some major damage on what ever it hits.... Just a guess!!

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
