Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.
