New Nike Equipment

[Arathel-bwcc]

Well the new Nike driver, and One Platinum and Black came out today. I went to golf galaxy where there was a rep, turned out to be one of my friends. He got me to hit the new drivers. Surprisingly they actually felt excellent the round AND square. Well my friend that was working he said meet me at my car when I leave. So I did, and he ended giving me 4 boxes of the new one platinum and black, and a nike tour bag.


I'll post feedback on the new balls, I heard they are supposed to be the best feeling ball Nike has ever made and possibly better than the ProV.

I've played the Nike One Platinum and found it had to much spin off the driver for my swing speed. It was great around ther greens though.

It will be interesting what the new ball will bring to a moderate swing speed like me.

Did you find you got more distance or was it easier to hit? Also, is the sound really weird and loud?

After hitting both today during work (it was pretty slow), I can't say I'm a huge fan of the performance of either. I prefer the look of the new ones compared to the old models. The square especially looks a ton better than last year's model, but performance wise, they are pretty standard. Both models sound more like a "normal" driver, the square doesn't have as much of that annoying composite sound. Both are still pretty loud, but not an annoyingly loud sound like before. The matte paint finish looks nice also and the darker grey on the square hides the square shape reasonably well. I was more impressed by the square fairway wood, which I only hit off the deck. Pretty easy to hit, but the face is a bit deep for my preference to hit off the deck. Nice one for hitting off the tee though. Easy to hit straight, but probably not very easy to work. Only had one get sold during the 8 hours I was there. It was the a 9.5 degree SQ 5000 with the stiff V2 shaft in it. Guy who bought it was regularly hitting it out around 300 yards. Overall not bad clubs, but nothing special enough to convince me to buy anything.
