Nike Mojo 2005
What the manufacturer says:

The Nike Mojo Golf Ball was performance and irreverence in a tie-dye package...that was the Mojo golf ball that Nike Golf introduced to golfers late in 2003. We turned up the attitude, turned back the clock to the '60s and turned on pin seekers and magic seekers, alike, to Get Long. Get Feel. Get Real. Too much of a good thing, even the age of Aquarius, gets a little old. So, it's time to move on, pop the clutch out of the '60s and fishtail into the me generation of the '70s where Mojo lives, plays and loves it all. Mojo is a roadie for a rock n' roll icon. Mojo was a knockout in Manila but never a guest at Watergate. Mojo writes the songs that make the whole world sing. Mojo knows how to boogie. And Mojo is going to make every golfer an offer he can't refuse.

Flashbacks? Good or bad? A little of both? Get long. Get feel. Get real.The original Mojo was all good baby, a daisy chain and folk song, a VW van filled with golfers facing miles of green and time to kill. Looking in the rearview mirror, Mojo was the fastest selling golf ball launched in Nike Golf history, capturing 2.1 percent market share within 60 days of launch. Movin' On Up The next generation Mojo is a new home run record, supersonic to Paris, the first Nikes, pandas landing in D.C., and a kung-fu movie marathon all sitting on a bed of purple shag. Slide in your 8-track and kick back...here's the lowdown:

Get Long:This is the dance mix Mojo, longer than the original hit. Straight as a laser beam. So easy to play you could hit it with a tubular bell and still get home in two. But don't. Wind up and hit it hard, primal-scream hard, quadraphonic hard - preferably with a Nike driver. In other words this ball was born to run...it's long.
Get Feel: The cover-up: It doesn't look like other Surlyn covers. It's a tripping pearlescent. It doesn't feel like them, either. It feels good. And if it feels good, do it.
4-Barrel Core: Fully carbureted, pre-smog launch with a low compression that hovers in the mid '70s.
Run premium to avoid ping. Bumps with No Name: 432 mystical little craters inspired by the lift and carry of desert birds of prey.
Get Down:What the original Mojo lacked was Karma. No worries. The evolution Mojo is here, right in this boom box you're holding. Twelve perfect pills to take care of that Saturday morning fever. A dozen dancing fools to put feel into the rock opera of golf. They're going to blow you away. And with every dirty dozen comes a little Karma. We took all of the psychokinetic energy of a tangerine dream and squeezed it into a 1.68-inch shimmering ball of fire. As colourful as a bicentennial celebration, Karma balls come in Red, Orange and Purple. Save it for that nemesis par-3 over water or leave the Karma in the bag and let the good times roll.
