Nike One Black and Platinum Golf Monthly balls review

Golf Monthly Verdict

I've played both quite a bit and have really warmed to the Platinum, which I reckon is among the longest around, yet is still amply comfortable on approach play. My swing speed is perhaps not quite high enough to reap the Black's maximum benefits.

Both feature Progressive Density Cores that are softer in the centre and firmer towards the edges to reduce excess spin and maximise energy transfer. The Black is designed to help higher swing speeds eke out extra yards, while the Platinum's outer mantle is engineered for enhanced short iron spin.
