A excellent post in equipment and avatars display a ball durability comparison chart;
racoondad:
Ball Type -- Durability -- Hits -- 9-hole Round per $*
WGT GI-S Ball -- 2-dot -- 120 hits -- 35 Rd/$
WGT GI3-D Ball -- 1.5-dot -- 110 hits -- 16.7 Rd/$ (reported by andyson)
WGT Tour GI-SD Ball -- 1-dot -- 90 hits -- 11.5 Rd/$
WGT Legend GI2-SD2 Ball -- 1.5-dot -- 95 hits -- 8.8 Rd/$ (confirmed by andyson)
Callaway Tour i(s) Ball -- 2.5-dot -- 120 hits -- 6.9 Rd/$
* This is the number of 9-hole rounds you can play with every dollar
(or 100 credits) you spend on the type of balls. It is calculated based
on 21 hits per 9-hole round (par 36 and 67% green-in-regulation) and
ball color with the lowest price.
Great post;
I presently use the calloway Legend balls which has a rating of 2
dots of durability. I am definitely not seeing 95 hits / ball with a
durability rating of 1.5 dots. Assuming you reach the green in
regulation and putts don't count against the durability of the ball that
would translate to 5.3 9-hole rounds. I am lucky that I get 2 rounds /
ball. Which also has a 2 dots of durability. Could someone please
check the durability of the ball on WGT's end.
I responded to the above post in the paragraph above. But I have bought 6 sleeves of balls this week. Assuming 2 dot durability and 120 shots / ball that would translate to 6.5 9-hole rounds. Thus, from 6 sleeves of balls I should roughly get 120 rounds. Obviously, I have not play 120 rounds of golf in 5 days.
Also, perhaps that is why I am seeing unusual results when I hit an iron shot. Parameters don't match the golf ball characteristic displayed in the pro-shop
