Nike Ignite Golf Balls – Golf Ball Review

Golfers need golf balls. Unfortunately there are so many to choose from and

they are not cheap. Depending on your handicap, a golf ball can definitely make

a difference, especially on the greens. Although the way a ball performs depends,

for the most part, on the person swinging the club, it is also the case that

some branded balls perform better than others. One of the current hot favorites

among serious golfers is the Nike Ignite golf ball.

Some golf balls in particular, are regarded as performance category golf balls,

and Nike assure us that their Ignite golf ball belongs in that category. The

upgrade of 2007 in particular has increased the accuracy and distance that the

Nike ball will travel. Its manufacturers claim that the Nike Ignite golf

ball is made for longer distance shots, has a multi-layer feel and penetrating

ball flight. The ball’s core is the hottest yet, and this increases the

ball’s responsiveness and it performs well with aggressive strikes. The

Nike Ignite golf ball was designed with particular golfers in mind, those who

prefer low spin, long distance shots.

The Nike Ignite is a three piece hybrid ball designed for

a variety of swings and players. Compared to other golfing balls in the same

category the Nike ball gives an outstanding performance when it comes to distance,

and can increase a player’s drive by thirty yards or more. Compared to

other golf balls in the performance ball category the low spin of the Nike Ignite

golf ball increases the accuracy of your shots.

One major criticism of the Nike golf ball is its durability in comparison to

other, similar balls the Nike Ignite only lasts about 3 out of every 5 rounds,

which means that it isn’t a cheap option for frequent use. Other players

agree as the ball is all too easily chipped; for most of them however these

shortcomings are offset by the fact that it doesn’t take much to get the

ball into the hole. This, along with its increased speed and accuracy makes

it a favorite for many players.

Most players are agreed that the ball flies pretty straight, and its bite is

sufficient to hold the green quite well, which makes it less likely to roll

into awkward places. Some golfers are of the opinion that the Nike Ignite scores

better than other more expensive golf balls in its category. Some players find

that just changing to the Nike golf ball has decreased the number of their strokes

and straightens their shots – one or two remark that the NXT tour is comparable

to the Nike Ignite ball. One player found that when they used the NXT ball it

had more side spin off the tee and this was greatly reduced with the Nike ball.

Other players have compared the Nike Ignite to the Calloway Hot HX in terms

of general distance and control although the Nike won out when compared with

the number of holes played. Again this user found that care was needed to avoid

chipping the ball. Overall the Nike Ignite seems to be a great favorite with

many players, some of whom feel that it has vastly improved their game.

The bottom line is getting a sleeve of three and giving them a try. The Nike

Ignite golf ball may or may not be the best
