Model Reviewed: Power Distance Super Soft 2

I started playing these balls when I needed to replace my normal ball the Tour distance SF Titleist balls they quit making after 2003. Checked out many different balls because I like to play just one style. The super soft is the best ball I ever played with. The second generation "PD on the ball"are the best! They lost some feedback in later generations. They are fantastic around the green and with wedges. Very easy to get up and out of trouble. This balls are the most forgiving I've ever played. I'm a smooth swinger and these balls react to that types perfect. Easy distance, out flew every expensive ball I tried. Comsumer Reports got it right on this generation! Anyone who rates this ball less than a 4 is obviously bias against Nike. I can get these to go balls to go 10-15 yrds farther than an NXT or ProV1. Best ball Nike makes. Much better than the hard to hit ONE balls. Note: Bridgestone e5 and Titilest NXT Extreme come the closest to this ball in performance. But, right now I've stocked up and the Super soft is all I have in my bag.

I regularly shoot in the mid-80s and have a high swing speed. In comparison to the Pro V1x and the Calaway Tour I(s), I found this ball to be a bit shorter than the other two off the tee, but actually quite competitive in terms of bite on the greens. In fact, it seems to outperform the Tour I(s). For less than $20 a dozen, the slight loss of performance in distance off the tee is worth the purchase. I also agree that this ball has a tremendous feel when putting.

Very interesting ball. It feels markedly different from other balls. While the differences between most balls are subtle, this one really stands out as having truly unique traits.

It almost feels like hitting a ping pong ball because it is so soft. The putting feel is second to none.

The great thing about all this is it still goes far off the tee. I paid less than $15 for a dozen balls and that can't be beat.

I bougt a box of these based on the review from consumer reports (Ranked #2). I figured at $15 a pop, why not give them a try. Aside from the soft feel, I really didn't care for them. I have a relatively high swing speed and can really get the ball out there (Occasionally finding the fairway). I have been playing both the NXT's and the Mojo's over the last year and a half. I found the Powere Distance balls to be about 15 to 20 yards shorter and there is virtually no stopping these balls on the greens. Off my driver, the ball seemed to balloon a bit too much; this is the main reason for the loss in distance. For the 5 to 10 dollars more, it is worth the upgrade to the Titelist NXT or the Nike Mojo. It is like they say, "You get what you paid for."

I've been playing the Super Soft since '04 when I found one and decided to use it for the rest of my round and found the ball I was looking for. I figured it was time to review my choice after 2 seasons, and for the past month I've been comparisoin testing Precept's PWR Drive and Laddie Xtreme, and Maxfli's Long and Soft, along side the Super soft, and by comparison I mean hitting all four, one after the other, changing order positions, with two different drivers (93MPH swing), (Cleveland Launcher and Adams 430Q), also irons, Adam's I wood, and wedge shots. After a month of testing, and a few hundred swings at each, and after taking into account inconsistent swings, etc., patterns began to emerge, and here they are: First, let me begin by saying all 4 are good balls. Since feel and softest are the most important considerations for me, the Maxfli finished 4rth; The Xtreme flies very hot of the club face, but wasn't the longest in the testing, but a very nice ball, with a soft core, but the surlyn cover makes it feel a little bit firmer then I'd prefer. In my experience, the PWR Drive does what Precept says it will--fly a little straighter (at least straighter then the other 3 balls) and a touch farther (at most 2-4 yards farther then the S.S. when I hit them both "sweet", but while you can feel the ball has a lower compression rating, the surlyn cover doesn't promote the nice soft feel and touch I would like, so this ball just nudged out the Xtreme for 2nd place, and for me, where the Super Soft truly excels, is the soft ionomer cover that gives outstanding feel and touch and is within a yard or two of the PWR Drive. I'll definitely be keeping a few PWR Drives in my bag for some narrow fairways, but the Nike Super Soft remains the best ball for my needs. And at anywhere from 14.99 to 26.99 CDN, they are a superb value.

Much better than i thought it would be. Tried a sleeve on advice from a friend, and was very impressed. I have a very high swingspeed, so i have a tendancy to cut any ball that i use. These balls have a good cover that resists scuffing and cutting. Very durable! For a distance ball, its VERY SOFT! I was pleasantly surprised. Spin is good, but not great. I can get it to 1-stop-stop with my wedges, but from 9 iron up, it takes a couple bounces. It does check on chips better than any other distance ball i have used (other than nike one platinum or pro v1x). It putts like a dream because its so soft. BY FAR the best $15 per dozen ball out there. I would pay atleast $25 per dozen if not more.

I was stuck on Precept Pwr Drive balls. I was unable to find any at my local golf shops for this last weekends golf activities, I found these at a local retailer (Wal-Mart) I figured they were worth the try I was very happy with the performance of the ball off the tee and around the greens, stops on a dime easy to work has nice spin qualities feels good off the club face and has a very nice click when well struck. tracks well off the putter face and holds its line very well.
