| kungfulu2's Full Review: Nike Precision Distance |
Nike had just two things in mind when producing their Precision golf ball: making a ball that flies far, and can last ten rounds. They undoubtedly succeeded in making a golf ball ideal for the everyday hacker; for the Precision is more durable and inexpensive than any other ball offered by Nike.
If you're looking for a golf ball that will give you better shot-shaping and playability, the Precision is not the ball for you. Not only does it not enhance a player's ability to shape shots, it completely takes away from it. Due to the fact that the Precision is hard as a rock, one does not have the ability to hit subtle shots that require a soft touch. For some, however, this may not be all that bad. Many novice golfers simply want a ball that will fly as far as possible, disregarding the need for a soft ball on the greens. For those such golfers, the Precision is ideal. You will not at all be disappointed in the distance that is attained with woods and irons alike.
In comparison to my usual two-piece ball, the Prestige flew an average of five yards longer. Around the greens, however, it was difficult to stop the ball near the hole, for it simply ran all over the green. Trying to attain a decent amount of spin on the ball was near impossible from close distances. All of this makes me wonder why anyone would want to purchase such a golf ball. Sure, the $25 price tag is much more inexpensive than other higher-end golf balls; but the balls are not even worth that much. For more than $10 less, one can purchase a one or two-piece ball that also promises more durability and longer shots. A pack of Top Flight XL's would be much more reasonable, for they too will not disappoint from the tee and will last round, after round, after round.
