I'm a bit sceptical of these without even hitting them yet. Usually I like a ball that I can "cut" with my fingernail. These covers seem pretty hard. But, if Tiger uses them...

Well, upon second inspection, forget what I said above.

Geez Nike makes a good ball! I didn't have too many opportunities to truly test spin control 'cause our greens are just getting over being punched, but the platinum certainly feels good coming off the clubs. I'm a little hesitant to use these full-time cause I know Nike is really puching the limits on ball comformity. I don't want to get used to this thing if it won't be legal in a year or two.

Yeah, Looking at Tiger now days sometimes you cant be proud to play the ball he has. And didnt i just read that he didnt make this weeks cut.

I am usually a Titleist ball guy.

I don't really care who plays the ball, it's all about putting for me. I run out of my Nike One's and picked up a sleeve of Prov1 and Prov1x to "try them out". Prov1 was close to the same feel, but shorter on full swing, but prov1x felt terrible off the putter, keeping up with the distance of Nike's. By the way - that's the One Black I'm talking about. I'll try platinum as soon as I get my chubby fingers on it

I bought a sleeve of these last Saturday to try out. Honestly, I can't believe Tiger plays these "rock" hard balls. I'm sure technically they're better than TopFlight XL's, but as far as feeling goes off a hit..horrible. I can't see anyone who plays a 3 or 4-piece marshmellow play the Platinum ONE.

Also the dimple pattern is unappealing to me for some reason. I guess I'm just used to uniformity in dimple design and not a bunch of different sized dimples on the ball. It gave me a "cheap" look to it..just me.

I ended up giving the other 3 guys in my group a xmas gift and gave them one each..told them this is the ball Tiger plays..oohh's and aahh's..lol

If the Platinum is this hard are the Nike BLACK or GOLD any different?

With his swing speed over 120 I doubt it's rock hard for him. Like the Pro V1x you need to have a higher swing speed to get better results out of it

I was just surprised it didn't have that "soft" layer/feel to it..even the PV1X had a softer feel. I can't see how the Plat One could be fun to putt with either being harder than those other balls.

    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
    • Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
