Nike Golf 2013 Mojo Golf Ball (24-Pack)
Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: A good basic, cheap ball
Nike’s Mojo ball is my current go-to ball for playing in cooler weather on leaf-covered fairways. It’s long enough, and straight enough, and checks up on the green reasonably well. There’s nothing to compete with mid- and premium-range balls, but the price … the price can’t be beat.
On a whim, I picked up a box of 24 Mojo balls at Target last week for $19. I figured that even if I didn’t particularly like them, the Mojo would be good for playing on Michigan’s leaf covered courses. If I lost one, at under a buck-a-ball, I wouldn’t really care. The photo below shows the dilemma that I often face (a side-effect of my predilection for playing cheap courses).
As it turns out, the Mojo is a decent ball. Slightly shorter for me than my other go-to balls (the Wilson Duo and 3-UP), it still produces respectable distance. For a two-piece ball, it also checks up pretty well on the green.
I liked the Mojo enough that I went back to Target and bought another box of 24. That should last me for at least this fall season, and probably the next.
Good enough to play, cheap enough to lose. I can work with that!
Sometimes there’s no substitution for a good quality cheap golf ball! Fall golfer’s have to be scrappy.
I’m saving my 3UP balls for a time when I can be reasonably assured that I’ll find them.
