    Is it just me, or as the GI-SD's get to the end of their life span, do the distances get fairly shakey off the tee, especially when trying full top or bottom spin?

    If I am not imagining this, and it is a real effect, is there a way to swap them out when this behavior starts, before the life of the ball is done? Can I trash it in-game and grab a new one?

    I'd rather not incur a stroke by utilizing the water or deep fescue to lose it, lol.

    And I also want to know if I am losing my mind, or if others have seen this behavior!

    Hi Van,

    There is no "wear and tear effect" on the balls, it's kinda like a digital signal, all or nothing.  Balls will play the same regardless of a full meter or 1 remaining hit. =)

    Thanks Niv,

    I had a couple I should have used the 'report bug' feature on. Now that I know, I'll submit something next time. I think I would have been happier to hear that the balls lose efficiency towards the end of their life, lol.

    Thanks again for the feedback,

    VHL

    If you want durability buy cheap balls. lol.

    Don't worry about your ego.

    Just do it!
