    Black balls?

    I had heard of Nike making black golf balls, and for my golf trip last month I tried to find some just for the fun of it.

    Couldn't find any though.

    I had a sleeve of them. I'm not sure if they are meant for playing with though. They felt super heavy compared to their regular One's.

    Stewart Cink, Justin Leneord and some of the other guys sponsored by Nike each played one of the black Nike balls at Phoenix earlier this year. On the Par 3 17th. So they can be played, however with a sleeve of two now selling on ebay for big bucks I would not be playing them! A friend of mine bought 8 two ball packs and sold 7 on Ebay and made some easy cash.

    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

    I gave mine away because I hate Tiger Woods.

    Once you go Black --- you never go back.

    Sorry if this offends anyone -- but I just had to say it.
    Thanks for the screen-time.

    I can see you point there Bomber! However you should have hawked them on eBay where everyone seems willing to pay $30 plus shipping for two golf balls

    I didn't even know they were worth anything. They came free with the dozen Nike One's I bought out here in Alberta at Nevada Bob's.

    To answer the question about playability. I played one of them for four holes at La Diable this year. I was -1 and then I put it back in my back. I felt guilty.

    I don't think it was a question, it was more of my opinion.
