Please compare Nike One Black '08 to TaylorMade TP Black '08 LDP ?

Need some advice on which of the two, I should buy ?

My swing speed is 108 mph with driver and so far I have played with the old Black Tp '07 ball and liked it pretty good - just not in windy conditions......and the wind blows pretty hard far too often here in Denmark - so I was looking to get some Red Tp balls for play in windy conditions - BUT then I saw a great offer on www.gppgolf.com - they sell the Nike One Black '08 edition for only $29.99 a dozen.

And if I buy 24 dozen from them (I always buy golf balls in large quantities to get a better price and then I sell or give some of them away to friends and family) I can get the price even lower - like $22/dozen. This is the same price they sell the old Nike One Black '07 ball for, a ball I didn't like at all. But heard great things about the new '08 Nike One Black ball - especially that it should be great in windy conditions and crazy long off the tee with driver, so I maybe don't have to shell out almost $40/dozen for 6 dozen of the Red Tp ball, which also is great in the wind.

Has anyone played the NOB '08 (NOT the NOB '07, which is a totally different performing ball according to many and Nike) and the Tp Black LDP '08 ?
What are the positive and negative things about these balls and how did they perform for you ?

I strongly consider 24 dozen of the NOB '08 ball - I know it lacks spin off wedges and chip shots, but I can live with that with my aggressive grooves on the wedges - as long as I play the saem ball all the time. Also I don't need crazy backspin on pitch shots either - so think the NOB '08 would suit my game just fine - just want to hear your opinion on this ball. I tried to buy a dozen of this ball at my local golf shop and at the pro shop, where I play - but they were both out of stock, so currently I can't test it. Will maybe take a chance and buy 24 dozen, if people in here with pretty similar swing speed to mine like how it performs off driver, irons and wedges. I know it feels a bit clicky off the putter......this I can live with, as the Black Tp '07 also feels a bit clicky off the putter.

FYI I can not get any kind of great discounts on the Black Tp LDP '08 ball - so it really has to perform much better than the NOB '08 for me to buy this over the NOB '08 ball.

Thanks in advance for your help :good:

Well the best bet would be for you to purchase a sleeve of each and test them out, but i'm sure you know that. My favorite new offerings this year are the Taylormade Red LDP and Callaway Tour I. Forget the black it only spins marginally better (and if you have aggressive groves its negligable) and doesn't feel as nice off the irons or putter as the Red. The Tour I has a distinctly different feel IMO off driver/irons. 08 NOB is a quality ball it just didn't scream at me in any one major category (unlike the Platinum which is the king of spin). Windy conditions...i'm gaming the Red.
