  If they cost more credits and you play worse with them, why use them? Best advice I can offer is to ditch the expensive vanity ball and go back to something dependable.

  I am very very low on credits, and was very lucky to win a CC tourney that payed out balls ,and I got those. I still have 9 left. 

  It has to be a playable ball , Dan , BB, Stevenharkin just to name a few use them. I also figured the extra distance would help at PH

  Give us yellow Callaways.

  FTFY  G.  hehehehehe

   

  I haven't had the "pleasure" to try out the L90 RZN Blacks,  too costly for my virtual budget.

   

  Maybe if they came in yellow.  ;-)

  I have been using the level 48 nikes now for almost a year $4:00 a sleve and find them consistent in distance,spin etc as well as wind play.My driving average is 300 yards with these and I find I can by adjusting spin can keep up or pass with most of the people I play with,both off the T and for the approaches.Try them ,they may surprise you.

  If you want something cheap and dependable, try the WGT legend ball G12 SD2 @ 155 credits, think their pretty good!!

  Ok, so we need to figure out these balls for you. I only tried a couple of sleeves, but I seem to remember they play fairly similarly to other balls downwind calculation-wise. But you need to allow for more wind effect playing into the wind. On top of this, I think it was the 4i that plays massively short into the wind. This will put a major spanner in the works of trying to figure out a dependable calculation, unless you discount that club and note how it plays separately. 

  Sorry I can't be more help, but it was clear early on that this ball was not going to be improving my returns by 40% so was not worth the extra expense. Maybe you can use them up in low wind RGs and use the proceeds to get some balls that you know...

  OK have to give up on the ball, played PH the first four hole got within 1 to 2 yards after that , was back to 7-8 away ball going all over the place had no control. DARN

  Really wanted the ball to work out

  Just unreal, can't understand how a top rated ball ,and the price tag on it can be so unreliable. 

  This was after many many attempts , with different wind formulas. The ball is just no good ,like I was told by so many others ,but you know me stubborn as an ox
