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.

Waxing Poetic About The Masters

So, The Masters is finally here. Does it get any better? I’ve never been to Augusta National and it’s something I hope to do at some point. I covered horse racing as a journalist for 10 years and regularly attended the Kentucky Derby. I can honestly say that it never got dull. Seeing Churchill Downs and the Twin Spires gave me a true understanding of a true sports landmark. I’m sure it’s the same with Augusta National. I can only imagine what the course looks like. I’m told the wonderful scenes you see on TV do not really do it justice, and that in person, the undulations of the lush greens, the azaleas in full bloom, Amen Corner and the various bridges named after immortals of the game are collective works of art.

Gary Woodland's Victory Is A Story For The Ages

Perspective is a sobering thing when it comes to health. Gary Woodland (Titleist Pro V1) made us all appreciate that we are nothing without our health, while also proving that will is sometimes more powerful than the mind in terms of everyday living. In going public recently with The Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard about his battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Woodland allowed us a peek into his private world since his brain surgery in September 2023.

Golf Gods Kind To Fitzpatrick But Cruel To Snedeker

The golf gods giveth and taketh. How else can you explain the last two PGA tournaments. Matt Fitzpatrick (Titleist Pro V1x) wins the Valspar Championship by one stroke after losing the Players Championship seven days before by one stroke. Fitzpatrick was gracious in defeat, so perhaps he was rewarded for his good sportsmanship.
