Check with courses in your area and see if any are holding a ball clinic. That's how I got this info today. Bridgestone was having a clinic at my home course. They had a good launch monitor, and analyzed and compared different balls. For me the Nike was too soft, too high spinning. Even the Bridgestone E5 was too much... I needed the lower spinning E6+. I'm sure that there are other balls with similar characteristics, but they obviously want to sell their ball.

BTW, one thing I learned... the Nike Power Distance Soft is made by Bridgestone as is the Precept Laddie... they are both identical balls with just different labels printed on them.
