  I use the level 33 Call mostly, and only get out the Nike RZN's for important matches.

  If I lose an expensive ball for whatever reason then I have to stop playing for the day, but a level 33 call doesn't hurt so much.

  spdemon:

  I tried the lvl 85 nikes didnt like the yrds on them the blades/ping mix wasnt for me got the 97nikes as well but using the r11s i prefer them but dont like the meter is all lol

  If u enter any comps on here be prepared to shoot low lol 

   I agree,,,,I have used the VR's...and their yardage isn't as good as R11's....them and the speedblades are pretty much identical.  The exception is the VR's have a tad slower meter.  I use the 90 Nike platinums and they slow ALL the clubs down to a creep. 

  That SLDR driver is good...I didn't think I'd change from it until I got to 98...but, after using the 88 Big Bertha....man that BB is sweet I get as much if not more distance as the 98 R1's.....

  In my opinion these are the best & cheapest balls to use with the fast meter of the R11 irons.[View:http://www.wgt.com/themes/wgt/utility/:385:0]

  That has a faster meter, less spin, less distance and same durability. 70 credits difference in price. The question is, how much is a slower meter worth and with the R11's, every little bit helps.

  The Legend balls are not worth bothering with IMO.  Less durability makes them not cheap.  The and the extra distance well OK but at a price.........  

  The L33 remains the best bargain in the pro shop, and it will not be the link in the chain stopping you get to TL.  Personally I prefer the slower meter of the L34 Cally for putting as much as anything.  The R11s have great spin, and so you won't find the slight lack of spin on the L34 Cally ball much of an issue.  Start getting in to the Nikes and you are in to progressively fine lines for ball travel / wind affect on shot with tiny adjustments of spin / power settings away from the price.

  The L33 cally is capable of some very excellent rounds.  Whether the difference offered by other balls shows often enough / is worth the price / time spent getting in even more precise settings is up to you................ 

  Settling in with the new clubs I would start with the L33 Cally.  After I was getting some good rounds I would then consider an alternative or not as the case may be. Swapping balls will lead to differing results (of course), and so picking one ball, and sticking with it is important too.

  I rented the 83 Ping G25's.....not too impressed with them....distances are so much different than the R11's....my advice, for what its worth....save your money and time...I'd rather have the speedblades than those clubs. Or the VR's for that matter.

  I agree absolutely with Jim.  The L33 Cally really is one of the last pro shop bargains.

  Remember this all those trying to improve their scores.  A truer word was never spoken on WGT.
