Nike Karma anyone?

Anyone used the Nike Karma ball? Found 1 last week & 3 holes into my rd today I literally threw a Gamer & a Yellow Noodle ice into the pond & decided to try a ball I had never used before so out came the Karma. I used it for the remaing 15 holes....god it feels nice being able to use the same ball for a rd instead of using 1 box for a rd. Anyways off the tee the ball felt like any other ball to me, I really can't "feel" any difference with a driver on any ball. I can see & sometimes even hear a difference but that's it. Distance was the same as anything else I have used & maybe it was me adjusting my hands & foot position slightly to eliminate the slight slice I had last week or maybe this ball is magic??? 11 out of 14 fairways & they weren't just barely on but smack dab in the middle everytime.

Off the irons the ball felt really smooth & when I connected well there was no noise & it felt like butter. Chipping was good too but I still don't have any backspin at all so I can't evaluate that aspect. 31 total putts says it all in that dept. This may be a good ball or a crap ball as far as reviews go....I really don't know since I have never read a single word about them, but I know that so far I like the ball & I only have the single 1 I found. I have tried a couple of other Nikes in the past & didn't like the feel of them at all, not so with the Karma.

I also found a Nike Juice but haven't hit that one yet.

I've never tried any Karmas, but I'm interested. I think Nike has embedded some product placement into ads and movies so much that I love the look of the swoosh on the golf ball, plus the box for the Karma looks pretty cool.

I got a box about 3 months ago b/c they were cheap and it was about the best thing Wally World had. I didn't like the feel off the driver for some reason, but I dont remember why. I think because they felt really soft and center hits didn't feel solid, just soft. I remember nothing about the irons, but I don't think they felt too bad. They had no spin whatsoever off the wedges though, which is a must for me. So, needless to say, I used 'em about one round and chucked the other half-dozen.

No, but I did find a Gamer a couple of weeks ago, and used it for 16 holes in my last tourney. Put a really bad swing on it on the tee on #17 and it went to Never-Never land.

I kind of liked the Gamer.

Hard to beat the Nike Power whatever in the green box. Or the Maxfli Tour Fire.
