Now Nike has Balls!

Nike have ventured into the golf ball market. They promise that their products will be easily identifiable, not only in terms of presentation but also performance.

In order that "customers identify the right ball to meet the demands of their individual game", Nike have used unique packaging. Each ball has the distinctive Nike logo and a symbol representing its characteristics:

Precision Distance two-piece balls maximum distance and durability
Precision Tour Control three-piece wound balls balata feel with consistent response
Preciston Spin Control two-piece balls tour level feel with enhanced spin
Precision Distance Control two-piece balls distance with ehanced accurancy

An independent comany tested Nike's claims and found that the balls did have tigter dispersion , but in many cases the differences between these and competitor's balls were very slight.
