The Benefits of Staying With Nike

If you’re a fan of Nike golf balls like Rory McIIroy, the news of the company ceasing their production of golf equipment might have been a tough pill to swallow, but don’t give up on the swoosh just yet. With a variety of Nike’s ultra-popular RZN models in stock, LostGolfBalls.com is keeping your golf bag stocked with your favorite balls. 

Offered in Platinum, Black, Red and White models, there is a RZN ball for everyone. The key feature in all RZN models is Nike’s revolutionary Speedlock core. The resin core’s surface features a design similar to that of a waffle iron, creating a strong interaction with the compression layer to form a tighter bond. What this means is that energy is transferred more efficiently throughout the ball by eliminating the slipping that occurs between a traditional smooth-surface core and the outer layer. This next-generation core also allows the ball to have a softer feel without compromising distance that most golfers crave.

Where the models differ are in the number of layers and material makeup of the outer cover. The Platinum and Black models are both four-piece constructions with spin-optimized coating helping grip the grooves of a wedge and iron for more control. The urethane outer cover also features micro-dimples which helps golfers increase their spin and control around the greens. This means stopping the ball closer to the pin and posting lower scores.

The Red and White versions are both made with three-piece ionomer designs which serve to enhance distance-oriented performance. These balls contain larger RZN cores and firmer covers to provide increased stability and enhanced ball speed. While both of these balls are for players with moderate to lower swing speeds, the White option features the softest core of all the RZN models for maximum forgiveness.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju Put On Quite A Show

Before I talk about the thrilling finale of the 2026 Players Championship, I wanted to highlight Sudarshan Yellamaraju (Titleist Pro V1). Yellamaraju is a landed Canadian immigrant – I’m a Canadian by birth – and his hometown is Mississauga, which is where I am based, in the west end of Toronto. Up until last week, Yellamaraju was known only to the Canadian golf community, and even then, it was probably a limited audience. That will no longer be the case. His cover, so to speak, has been blown after he finished tied with Ludwig Aberg (Titleist Pro V1x) and Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5X) for fifth.

Scottie Scheffler Is Clearly In A Slump

What’s wrong with Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1)? It’s become increasingly obvious that the world’s number one men’s player is clearly frustrated. He’s been showing visible signs of it for several weeks, but the most glaring example occurred after he bogeyed a makeable putt on his final shot of the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. After picking up his ball he threw it into the water. There was a noticeable murmur among the crowd, almost teetering on booing.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?
