I'm relatively new to golf and hoped someone out there could save me some time and effort. I've been playing for 2 yrs and after some trial and error I finally found a ball that love. The Nike One Rzn Black. I heard that they are not being made anymore. Has anyone that has played this ball , played anything else that is similar? Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of golf balls available and many perform similarly.

My recommendation is to grab a sleeve of a few different similarly priced models (only because price and performance are pretty closely linked, generally speaking) and play a few rounds or holes with each.

I agree, especially for premium golf balls. They tend to perform very close together. You can kinda get a wider spread of performance on cheaper golf balls.

I was hanging out in the golf section at our local Academy sporting goods while my wife finished up some Christmas shopping a couple days ago.  They had the nike rzn black and platinum on clearance for $20.  You may be able to stock up on some pretty cheap while you figure out what ball to play next.

if your wanting a ball that plays and feels like a Nike ball. go play the Bridgestone balls. Bridgestone made Nike balls for years and Tiger even said that him self. i jus came from play the Nike RZN Tour Dot ball and the RZN Tour Platinum balls. and i went and picked up two boxes of bridgestone balls and got a mother box for free from dicks sporting goods. paid 80.00 for 3boxes of Bridgestone B330 RX, B330 RXS, B330 S.  after playing everyone of those for 18holes each ball. i'm loving the B330 S and the B330RXS. they hold their line in the air and the new Slip Res spins so much around the greens. i'm able to spin the B330S a whole lot more then a ProV1. i lost distance playing a ProV1. B330S i gained distance and have great ball control and spin control with my irons and. wedges, putting didn't take long at all to get used to the Bridgestone balls.

Proto, 

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was out my home course recently after the round there was a Bridgestone live fitting event at the range. It free so I did it, it's the first time I've ever hit with a launch monitor. I got done good info, I found out my swing speed is between 118-113 for 10 recorded swings. Maybe more importantly I found that my back and side spin numbers are higher than I would like as well. It was suggested that I hit the 330 or the RX. I bought a 3 pack of all four of the 330 series. I found the RXS and 330-S to be a little too high spin for me, similar to the ProV. The RX was a good ball for me, although shorter off the T than my new go to the 330. For me the 330 is longer and easier to control than the others works well for my short games and even had the feel that I like off the putter. Thanks again for tip.

i really enjoy the b330 series. i was never a fan of the bridgestone balls i guess cause the ones was trying was the e6 and friends said good things about it until i bought sum and felt the cover and to lil hard feels me. that's when i started to play the nike rzn black and loved it and played the rzn tour dot and is still my favorite ball. i still have few boxes of those and prob will never hit since i'll never come across those ever again.

I've been using the 330 RXS since the weather has been cooler. I tried the 330S last summer liked it a lot. I hit the 330 a little straighter and a little further than the 330S.

    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
