  Was wondering if there is a chance that when we are playing a round

  and we lose a ball on the last ball that we could pick a ball from our inventory

  rather than getting stuck with starter balls

  rules of golf say you have to use the exact same type of ball during a round.  In real life, and you lose a ball and do not have another of the same in the bag, you can be disqualified.  With WTG, rather than do that, they allow you to use a WTG ball......so they are just following the rules of golf.

  ....................... getting stuck with starter balls

  Getting stuck?

  A few months ago I switched to the free ball and found it really come down to learning how to use it and when I throw in a bit of course management; I was using it to post -3 or -4 scores, even maybe a couple of -5's.

  Now if I'm short the credits to buy a new sleeve when i run out during a game, I have the confidence that I can continue competitively.  Learning 'where' to land the ball on the fairway and learning how the clubs you use handle the ball strike are just part of the learning process.  This game doesn't just make someone a better player by offering better equipment.  If it did, I probably wouldn't play it as much.

  BTW I might not have any experience with other wedges, but I've found that when it comes to full swing/high power approaches, Cleveland's are VERY nice with the free ball.

   

  Oh yeah, has anyone told you that if you search there's a <ahem> wealth of info on just this subject?
