Nike is definitely one of the most prominent sporting brands in the world, and golf is no exception. While some may tag it an inferior brand (not a real golf company to some) to more prominent golf names like TaylorMade, Callaway, and others, Nike continues to make waves in the golfing scene, even winning tournaments in the hands of world champs like Tiger Woods (Nike One Platinum). Still, many players wonder whether or not the brand of ball you play can really make a difference in your golfing performance.
No matter which side you fall in the debate, one thing is for sure—the type of ball you play matters. Depending on your handicap and playing style, there is definitely an ideal ball that will best complement your game. Lower handicap players, for instance, will do well with balls that will offer more spin on shots as well as a better feel when putting and more yards on long shots. Mid-range players often choose mid-level balls that offer good distance and feel. Higher handicap players often look for consistence.
Nike golf balls come in a variety of compositions and designs. Needless to say, what's inside your golf ball is definitely more important than what is printed outside. This said, many golfers, including pros, also argue that since well-known brands have a name to uphold, they are more likely to produce high-quality products to keep their repute. Others, on the other hand, argue that 95% of golfers will not be able to tell the difference between brand name balls in a blind test. The bottomline is the best ball for a certain player will not necessarily be best for another, because a lot of things play into ball selection, ranging from the player's handicap, game play, swing style, and his or her personal preferences.
