Are you adding a little bit of Mojo to your game?

No I’m not suggesting that you become Austin Powers and walk the course in a purple velvet suit shouting “Yeah Baby!” when you hit the ball. No its a new golf ball from those guys over at Nike.

The ball is designed for people who have a club speed of around 95mph and those that are newer to the game. The ball offers packaging that would make the aforementioned Austin Powers proud with a psychedelic packaging and a slogan of “Get Long. Get Feel. Get Real.” (personally I think Austin would be proud of that as well but thats a different website.)

So is this ball any good for the average golfer? Well I had a round using them yesterday and a very windy day unfortunately saw me put 2 balls int he water, now I normally grab my golf balls for about $15 for 12 as I get a good deal from Callaway and Top Flight XL balls. The New Nike Mojo balls are $28 for a dozen which if you are anything like I was when I started out is a little expensive at over $2.30 a ball.

The ball itself has a nice feel to it and I got good control from it but all in all I feel that with a 9% share of the golf ball market Nike would be able to swoosh (get it) a larger market share if they dropped their prices.
