[GolfSpy_X]

For those that are interested in Nike golf balls they have a new online ball fitting service:

Interesting, regardless of my goal I ended up in a 20XI ball (firmer ball when my goal was fun, softer ball for the other two).

[MmmmmmBuddy]

It recommended "bowling"???? (20XI-X)

I can seem to get it to work.

 

I wonder how it stacks up to the others:

To me it always just felt like a way to collect email addresses and sell a more expensive ball. Has anyone had a positive experience with any of the many online ball fitting guides?

I had no idea these services were even available online. I've been sticking with the same golf balls for a while now. I might have to check out a few of these and the new Nike one just to see what they recommend to me.

I tried a couple of online ball fitters... the questions are so... generalized?

 

Anyways, I just bought a dozen of Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, TM Burner LDP and Srixon AD333

 

Maybe they'll work better than my Bridgestone e6+?

 

Spin/Distance can be seen on the course, the only thing I can't decide is whether I got the SS to compress a 3 piece ball or should I switch to 2 piece

 

Usually, people who do online fitting don't have the chance to hit a simulator... so it would probably be more useful to recommend balls based on carry distance instead of SS

ANy combination I use, I get the 20XI S anyway...

Same here. Just get a ball fitting from a fitter, or do it yourself. I had to really make myself sound like a duffer before it'd recommend anything other than the Vapor or 20XI models.

or do it yourself

 

How do you do that? I hate not having fitters in this area

Thats because the other balls are made for duffers. My dad is about a 40 handicap and he swears the Nike Power Distance is the best ball ever made. His company gives him ProVs all the time and he gives them away.

 

I was recommended the 20XI-X with the Vapor Speed as an alternate. I haven't gamed a Nike ball, since the original Tour Accuracy. To be honest, I haven't even paid any attention to a ball they have put out, since they stopped making the TA. I might give that Vapor Speed a try though, just for shats and giggles.
