Whilst I heartily agree with both the buy in bulk and weekly
special offer ideas, I'll play devil's advocate for a moment, due to
contractual obligation. Also, It's many, many hours past the time I should be
fast asleep (alcohol is not involved, nor a fine example of womanhood, sadly). Might as well babble in public view...
A business
that is bringing in beaucoup revenue, growing substantially while also
bringing in large corporate sponsorship money, and/or just plain
incompetent when it comes to operating in the field of e-commerce...does
not need to cater to their customers, particularly in the one area of
equipment that must be purchased repeatedly in order to play the game at
a reasonably high level - EXPENSIVE FREAKIN' VIRTUAL BALLS!
(I need to take a breath after typing that run-on sentence)
I will wish upon a bolide right along with each of you; little chance of us having our wishes fulfilled in this matter.
This
devil's (temporary) minion predicts there will be an 8-12% across-the-board price increase on top-level balls sooner rather than
later. A somewhat common practice is to raise prices a few months prior
to the December holidays, then throw the dogs - AKA customers - a bone
here and there as the holidays near. Woof!
Me thinks WGT has grown
sufficiently that said strategy might be employed this year. Of course, I
also predicted peace and good will would reign in 2013 and we can see how that has turned out...
I've been practicing with the WGT Tour-S ball in
concert with the L90 R11 irons. It's a good ball, no doubt. I can ding
them a fair percentage. But I also severely miss-ding enough shots that
shooting sub-30 is damn-near as miraculous an event as __ (fill in the
blank with your own held close to your heart miracle).
Not that
my skills are anything other than average (I swear if someone checks my
stats and makes a snide remark, brain matter will pour out my facial
orifices - stats ONLY matter to the person who's stats matter to THEM!)
Folks such as myself tend to want to at least have a solid shot at shooting sub-30 rounds regularly, yes? I can't achieve such scoring without spending at minimum 250 credits/sleeve. More honestly, 400 credits/sleeve.
For
those of you who shoot mid-50's on at least a weekly basis, please tell
me you can do so using WGT Tour-S balls or similar. I won't believe
you, but you can make the claim.
Balls (and mad putting skills) are the key to scoring low. Putters do not have a shelf life. They don't expire. Balls disappear quicker than my daily faith in the kindness of the general human population.
My duty advocating for Beelzebub has been met. I'm free of his/her/it's hold. Praised be.
Good night, good morning, good afternoon - wherever you may be.
