Whatever the reason behind not being able to change equipment during game play, not being able to do so is fine with me as far as clubs... But I think it would be nice to be able and change balls during game play, not that it would be nice to use a distance ball while driving the fairway or a spinner while laying up a putt.. My main concern is ball life, Myself i dont like to play with the same color everytime i play, however i do like to buy the same type ball.. with this being said i've got many balls in my bag that wont last 9 holes only a few.. so what good does ball life have? My point!! regardless of color it would be nice for the balls in my bag of same type be available to me when current ball life is about to run out during game play instead of the unlimited hits ball that provides a very shakey and nervous meter..
