New Balls in 2012 - Srixon, Nike

[Piece]

Nike 20XI was released in the US but hasn't made it yet to UK as far as I'm aware? Anyone know if and when they are released over here? Anyone actually used one?

Also Srixon has release the Q-star, a two piece effort designed to compete against the NXT. I think I read it may replace the AD333?? Same question: anyone know when its out over here?

Cheers

I thought Srixon had just released a new AD333?

Correct

Correct

Yup they have. Q star has been released recently in US but not an update to AD333 as far as I can research (via Google!).

Just wondered if the Q star will be UK released as well as the new AD333, not released at all, or phased-in very late next year to replace the AD333....

Callaway are bringing out a new premium ball, 5 piece, can't remember what it's called but it's meant to be the one to top the pro v1

i think the new nike ball will be released over here early next year,don't know about the others though.

the nike 20X1 has been delayed over here due to very high demand in the states

Will it be rebranded now as 20X2 time it gets here

more likely to be the 20XII?

On the US site Srixon Distance is the only ball missing while AD333 and SoftFeel are both there along side the QStar so perhaps it is this that's being changed.

I've used the Nike 20XI, sorry to report my findings were nothing new here. No doubt they have scientific evidence it spins better or flies further etc etc but I certainly didn't like it over a prov1 or prov1x. There was nothing bad about it but certainly nothing for me to want anymore or even enjoy using it, just my unscientific view though.

Callaways IS ball was too clicky/solid especially with putting so hopefully their new 5 piece will be a contender.

Bridgestone seem the main ball to compete against prov1's at the moment

Never found a Nike ball that could live with any of the other premium ball brands. They just don't make any decent balls in my opinion.

You can get the 20XI's on Ebay now.

I played with a Nike One Tour D today for the first time as I got a load cheap on Ebay. It felt quite nice especially with chips and putts but that's as far as the review goes, unless you want to know that it won't stop on frozen greens!

I found one and lost it on the next hole

I thought they were bricks!

I thought they were bricks!

They may well be!

Playing again tomorrow but the forecast doesn't reckon a frost so should have a better idea after that.

Even if they are bricks, I've bought 48 of them so I'm darn well going to use them!

Nike One platinum was their best ball in my view. I've not been enchanted by the TM penta 5 piece and so I'm not entiely sure this new Cally version will be anything special especially if it has the normal solid feel of a Cally

I'm getting some Nike 20XI from onlinegolf for review (selected from their Facebook pages). Not sure how many are gonna arrive, plus bit worried that in the wind/rain and soggy greens that I won't actually feel how they really play.

Tried the Callaway Hex Black Tour last week, wasn't really impressed from this. Sounded quite hard and not getting any feel around the greens, very clicky off the putter too, but worst was that it scuffed up very quickly with 3 cuts from just 3 iron shots. Will save the rest of the sleeve for better conditions.

Lastly got some of the new AD333's (same as Q star), will try these over the weekend as they are probably not gonna be that much different to the old ones for me
