- NIKE ONE VAPOR
PRICE: $30/dozen
WEBSITE: nikegolf.comCONSTRUCTION: Three-piece: core, mantle layer and ionomer-blend cover
TECH STORY: The tour-ball-inspired "power transfer layer" mantle is designed to improve ball speed and feel, but it also works with the progressively denser core to minimize spin.
VERDICT: Impressive performance on all full-swing shots. We think the mantle's ability to mitigate sidespin is legit.
