  It would be nice when you are in a game and the ball you are using is about to run out, you would have the ability to choose another ball in your bag instead of the default wgt ball or buy another set.  Secondly it would be nice to see the individual distances for ea. club in an iron set, to help figure out whether to buy or not.

  I didn't state it correctly.  There is an option to buy balls, I would love to see a second option to use any balls in your bag instead of the wgt ball by default when you run out of balls while playing.

  I fully agree with that. Too many times that you can't afford to play a game with just one ball. So it set there til you use it when it don't matter. I have a bunch of one only balls.

  I completely agree as well.  To me the ability to change balls and shot shaping are the most important changes that need to be made.

  The Rules of Golf allow using a different make/model of ball during a round, but also allow tournament committees to invoke the one ball rule.

  Many tournaments do invoke the one ball rule, which is that a round has to be played with the same make/model of ball.

  WGT Beta also applies the one ball rule, and so automatically substitutes the unlimited Starter ball if the players bag doesn't have the same brand/model ball the round was started with.

  Which does not make sense because it is a different ball.  In a real tournament, if you run out of the type of ball you are playing with under the one ball rule, you are dq'd.  WGT should allow ball changes in tournaments when a specific ball runs out, this would not be that hard to do, it makes sense, and I'm sure there is not one person on here who would have a problem with it.
