I play with the Nike VR blades w/ X100 shafts. My driver ball speed was recently clocked around 167 w/ a carry of 180+. I've been playing for over 20 years, some of it competitively, and I currently have a 3 handicap.
My purchase of the Nike 20Xi S balls ($45!) were a complete WASTE OF MY MONEY! I wouldn't be surprised if Rock Ishii loses his job due to public outcry on how much these 'tour' golf balls really SUCK & the fact that, in my prediction, will simply NOT SELL! I bet golf shops have a tough time selling these in around 6 months! Most of the buyers will be ONE time buyers like you and myself!
I was so excited to try them out after all of the hype, but should have done my research. However, I really didn't think it was necessary because I've been playing Nike (tour balls) since day one & love them! Until now!
The compression is too high for a competitive golf ball @ 112 points (*********.com), around the top 10 percent 'HARDEST' highest compression readings they ever tested! REALLY?!
For comparison sake the Pro V series golf ball's compression is less than 80!
I've read that the cover is extremely soft, but it doesn't really translate that way when you actually 'HIT' them!! That's what counts, Rock Ishii (kind of ironic that his name is ROCK because he sure developed a ball that feels that way)!
I'm sorry Rock Ishii, but if you tell Anthony Kim that his swing speed is too slow for the 20xix then you've effectively excluded 99 percent of the people who play golf from playing this ball! IDIOT!
