Nike ONE Vapor

Anyone try it? Other new Nike ONE balls are $43 but this version is $29. I think it's Nike's equivalent to the B330RX but the price is better. Anyway, I'm getting a dozen to try and will report.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

The Vapor is more comparable to a Titleist NXT. Its a decent ball, nothing special though.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

Sounds disappointing. Wonder why they put it with the ONE series of balls if it's not special.

And you're saying the B330-RX is better then, right?

During one of excursions into the deep native grass in Tn., I found a B330-RX. Me and Doc both tried it out and weren't really impressed with it.

I was playing the new Cally Diablo ball and preferred it over the B330-RX.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

So if I don't buy them I'm not a sap?

Think I'll just go with Srixon AD333's. I liked them when I played one of sssmokin's.

The B330 is better just because its a Bridgestone. As to why its part of the, "One" series, its all marketing, much like how Bridgestone putss the B330-RX in with the other B330s.
That way, hacks can still feel cool.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

I have a sleeve on RXs that I am going to try out soon. I would imagine that I'll squish it just a little too much. I love the 330s but am starting to like a "firmer" ball. I know the RX won't be firm but wanted to bust a few of them just to see how they'd play for me.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

I hit one of sssmokin's B330-RX balls and liked them. I hit my best drive of the day with it.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

Ive tried B330-RXs and I liked them. Almost the same distance off the tee as a distance ball but much more spin.
They're too expensive though. I'll stick to my E6+.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

I'd agree with Bake on these...feels a lot like a NXT.

Re: Nike ONE Vapor

Yup, Id say the Vapor, NXT and Bridgestone E series (E5+, E6+, E7+) are all in the same category.
They are compromise between cost and performance. Thats not to say they arent great golfballs though.
