Anybody try the new 2006 Nike One Platinum or Blacks? Wondering what kind of difference there is between the old ones and new ones.

NIke ONE Platinum is the Same as last year, as far as I've read, and have seen so far.

I don't think so, they've redesigned both balls for 2006 and are not making the gold anymore. Good thing is, you can get the old balls for around $32 a box now.

Really?

I've been playing them since they came out, and the last box I got a couple weeks ago played the same as all the others.....

Are they not out yet?? Or am I a moron.....

They're out now. They actually come in a new box, it's more of an upright box so it's more square than flat. I've seen them in a couple of stores, but I think some stores are trying to sell the stock of old ones. I was just on the nike golf website and they kind of explain what changes they made, just curious as to actual performance, since I use Nike ONE's also.

Oh ,I see. Yeah, that means my local guy doesn't have them yet. Cause the last box I bought was still the old style.

Do you have a link to the differences???

you can even watch a video with the engineer who designed them.

I picked up 2 boxes of the new platinums!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited to see (if any) the differences!!!

Let us know what you think. I still have about a dozen or so old Blacks that I have to use up before I get the new ones.

You finish a dozen before buying a new one. I wish I was not a collector of balls. I have at least 6 dozen boxes in the closet.

Nike One Black
Bridgestone B330
Maxfli Black
Maxfli Red
Stata Tour (few years old)
Volvik Crystals
Callaway HX tour (3 sleeves)
Callaway HX Hot (with a Hotwheels Mustang in the package)

I would like more time to play them all.

Once I find a ball I like, I stick with it. I'd probably buy more at one time, but it's almost impossible to find high end balls for less than retail, even when you buy in bulk. Plus I know if I buy a box of the new Nikes, I'll never use the ones I have now.

Me too, I'm pretty loyal once I find something that can't seem to be beat!

What is the difference between the Plantinum and the Black?

Is the Black more of a distance ball and the Platinum more of a softer/more spin type of ball? Is the black like the V1x and the Platinum like the Pro V1? Thanks

Exactly.

I picked up a box of Nike Black's today and played. I compared them to the Titleist ProV1 and the ProV1x. The Black is a nice ball but it's a little harder than the ProV1 and proV1x which I didn't like. It seemed to be more "clicky" around the green where feel is a must. The spin was good on short shots but I can't convince my brain that a ball that goes "click" when hit will stop when I want it to. Distance was comparable to the others but it was 45 degrees out so I wouldn't put too much stock in the distance just yet. It's comparable to the Srixon ZUR. In my opinion it was not as good as the ProV1x, which I usually play. I'll stick to the ProV1x. Simp
