Nike One Vapor Golf Balls - Reviews

On 2009-08-30, Aimee rated this Nike One Vapor a 4...(8530)



Purchase: Found the ball on the golf course, perfect condition.
Pros: As someone with a swing speed in the high 70's-80, I need a ball that maximizes distance off the tee, but prefer a soft feel for wedges and putter. This ball seems to combine those two things, plus it seems to keep spin under control with the driver.
Cons: Nothing, other than the cover is a bit soft and if you have sharp grooves on your wedges or hit somewhere other than the fairway you are going to see wear a little more quickly.
Quality:

Review Summary: A solid golf ball for the average hacker.

Details: Nike says this is a three piece Ionomer blend. The ball is designed for amateurs with swing speeds of 80 and above. Nike says this ball is designed with forgiveness which tells me that its got reduced spin. Their specs indicate medium spin, or less with the driver and more with the short irons - a nice combination for golfers who need distance off the tee, but want to keep it in play and have a little feel for around the greens.

Purchase: I bought a sleeve of these before a round a few weeks ago, as I looked in my bag when I put it on the car and was surprised to find I was out of balls! I'd never played the Vapor, so I thought I'd try it out and review it here. I believe the sleeve of 3 balls was $7.
Pros: Decent distance off the tee, and advertised it seemed to have just the right amount of spin around the grees. I played average this day so I can't really say whether the ball was benefiting me, but it certainly didn't hurt my game that day and it did seem to be a little forgiving on less than perfect or slightly off center hits.
Cons: The cover was softer than I expected, and I ended up going through 2 of these during the round due to scratches, abrasions, and one slight cut in the cover.
Quality: The ball seems built relatively well, but wasn't impressed with the strength of the cover. I'm normally able to play a whole round with a ball, so the fact that I nearly used the whole sleeve that day - and didn't lose any, was a little bit of a disappointment to me.

Review Summary: Overall, it's a decent ball that plays well for an amateur player at my level. It is relatively forgiving, and when hit well does seem to add a little distance, but for the price I thought it should have stood up longer to some of the abuse I put it through. So I'm sort of torn on the rating and am going to call it average for the purposes of this review.
