Nike Power Soft Distance Golf Balls - Reviews

On 2007-11-24, srushing rated this Nike Power Soft Distance a 4...(7960)



Purchase: I was given a dozen of these balls earlier this year as a gift. I think they run about $18/dozen. I usually play a premium ball like a ProV1 or HX Tour 56, but as the season has wound down and my swing is more limited due to wearing more layers of clothes, I decided that I'd use a somewhat less expensive ball to finish out the year. I played these balls over a period of several rounds over several weeks
Pros: The ball was as long as other more expensive balls I usually play. I usually would tee up another ball (Titleist, Callaway, etc) and hit a second ball and this was right in line with those on solid swings. It was work able and the outer finish was reasonably soft as I didn't really notice much of a difference in the feel at impact.
Cons: Two things I didn't care for were the wear of the ball and the spin. The outer cover seems to damage more easily than I was expecting from a 'distance' ball, even though it's a 'soft' distance ball. Also, approach shots don't grab as much as premium balls in my opinion. Now maybe it's also a change in the greens conditions as the winter sets in but these balls seem to release a lot more after landing on the green.
Quality: Construction seemed fine as I didn't have any blemishes that I noted from the dozen I had.

Review Summary: This is a good inexpensive ball with a lot of positives. If you're looking for a solid ball for under $20 and stopping on a dime on the green isn't a major issue, these should be one you consider
