  I despise that black ball.  It makes average players seem great.

  If you need a ball 10x more expensive than mine to beat me, so be it.  Congratulations.

  Hi Tarheels..That is so true. But I think I  know what happened on the price. One of 2 things. I

  have always heard that Programmers are not Mathematicians. HMM 700 looks like

  70...what's another 0?. Or when putting the price in, they did not have their glasses on to

  see the keys an meant to hit 100 instead of 700. either way, as the saying goes "Suckers

  are born every day..hehehe for $7.00  I can pay a greens superintendent and get 70 found

  balls from the course of Titlists, Cally's and Nikes and any other choice I want.

  Might have considered it if the meter speed hadn't been faster than my L80 Nikes. Or wait is it slower? I get really confused by these new scales.

  and to think...2 years ago I thought I was being funny when I posted that they could sell new gloves (better club control), new spikes ( so you don't slide out of a shot and miss right), tees that break after so many uses, cleaning towels/wire brushes to ensure the grooves are clean and can effect the spin, ball retrievr (gt that wet ball back for 75 credits)......lol...coming soon to a "downtime" close to you.

  On a serious note...we've all heard/wondered about the stance/ability to fade/draw. I'd really think that as all the new drivers offer weight shifting, loft shifting and fade/draw ability, that WGT could build those things into their drivers (for a mere 3500 credits)...say...a certain percentage of loft/fade-draw, etc with each "click"...The deal for the player would be...you set your driver before the round...and it's that way the entire round. So, you'd have to evaluate if you wanted higher loft and a draw or fade for each course and live with the results...could be entertaining.

  And now I look back to the 5hit storm that occured when the dollar a ball callaway came out and have a little chuckle, lol. Little did we know how daft it would get!

  Still, makes the Calls look a bargain now if you can handle the meter ;-)

  What no vapor trail option for 8 bucks a/sleeve sounds sketchy lol.  That price you should be able to turn the vapors on/off prior to or while you hit it.  Just joking of course.  Question Is what is your best guess  for the ceiling on ball price if there is one?  Just think the new black ball with 4 dots durability will costs us upwards of 10 bucks a/sleeve.

  $10 per sleeve?

  Probably more like $10 per ball

  10,000 credits. One attribute, automatic birdie on every hole. Members here would be buying it.

  I'd like to take these 700 credit balls, shine them up real good... turn that son of a b**** sideways, and stick them straight up WGT's candy a**!

  LOL

  $7 a pop to pitch on to a green that you can't see the roll on any more.  Certainly can't accuse them of not testing the market for it will bear regardless of quality offered.  

  However keep treating your customers like buckeroo crap, and one day might just ...
