  MrSCicero:

  Why does WGT only give one ball away when they give out balls, I have several of the gift balls that WGT gives away, Why only one?

  ?They are thrifty?

  ?They want us to buy more?

  Even if they gave us three sleeves, it would be down to one ball, eventually...

  They gave us all 3 balls a couple of weeks ago.Personally I carry at least a dozen balls. It costs no more in the long run and weight isn't an issue.

  I purchase them by the dozen when I purchase them but I still prefer the free balls!

  MrSCicero:

  It would be nice to have the ability to see the life of the balls you have in your inventory before you start a round and end up having to purchase more of the same balls because the ball you have equipped is almost out of life, I carry several different balls in my inventory and some of them are almost out of life, I would prefer to use these balls for practice rounds instead of getting involved in a ranked round only to see that my ball is almost out of life and I don't have the credits to purchase the same type or make of balls at that time.

  Thank you in advance for your consideration to this request!

  Hi there, 

  Completely agree with what you are after.

  It's been asked for by plenty of folk - including myself - during my 4 years plus on here.

  Won't happen.

  I've about 30 freebies in the bag that I've no intention of using other than in fun multi player rounds and certainly wouldn't ever consider purchasing as they are;

  a) Crap 

  b) Too expensive

  c) a+b ............  pfft.

  How hard would it be for WGT to implement the following?

  

   

  I keep reading the same 'Why not stock up?' response from those that obviously didn't read the opening post correctly  - why stock up on balls I don't normally use?

  Regards,

  Johnny.

  I do not have the answer to that question. We all have seen WGT introduce more bugs and glitches when adding things that are not needed.

  Then why are you worried about using/losing that last ball in a round? Once it is gone, there is no need for a Hits Meter.

  Would you go into a important round with a ball you don't normally use or just one ball for that matter?

  You can quit any round instead of continuing with the free ball. That is also an option if you do not want to buy.

  Personally, I don't have a problem with the free balls as I use them most of the time anyway, But it seems that every time I check out the forums someone is asking why they can't carry more than one brand of ball in their bag at a time so they don't get stuck with the free balls if life runs out or they lose the ball they are using and it is the last one of that brand or model, I just thought maybe it would help save the forums from being flooded with these questions time in and time out if we could see the life of the balls in our inventory before starting a round with them, That was the only reason I made this suggestion to begin with!

  'Not needed' is merely an opinion of yours - one I just happen to totally disagree with.

  ZioMio:

  Worried? Moi?..... don't recall posting being worried about anything.

  Can't fathom why 'worry' comes into your thinking regarding an online game - it's all about fun for me. Each to their own I suppose.

  ZioMio:

  Would you go into a important round with a ball you don't normally use or just one ball for that matter?

  Nope & nope again (If I'm using my preferred choice).

  ZioMio:

  Wow! Over 4 years on here and I've never known that option existed..............

  Why quit? If for any reason I'm playing a round and didn't purchase more of my favourite flavour before teeing off I'd simply keep an eye on the 'hits remaining' meter, should it turn red all that's required is for me to close the game client, open it again, hit 'continue' and by default up pops the 'This is your last ball blah blah blah' prompt. If I'm using a freebie, and it's the last of it's kind, then I've already decided that I'm quite happy to play the round out with rocks. 

  To clarify; I'd like to know as fast as possible - before I play a round - of all the freebies in my bag that have only one left which one has the most 'life' remaining.

  Wee question for ya :

  All the following are in my/your bag. All have the exact same attributes. There is only one remaining of  each..... they are all WGT freebies.

  Brand 'x' ball 

  Brand 'y' ball

  Brand 'z' ball

  How do I/you know which one has the most chance of seeing out my/your round?

  Btw absolutely nothing personal I just can't fathom why, other than the bugs/ glitches reason,  you would be so against WGT allowing us to see the life left in same attribute balls when there is only one of each different type remaining.

  Very well stated, For once I would like an honest answer.EX:After all of the money we make from you S.O B's on a daily basis, We don't have enough money in our pocket books that we want to spend to find someone that can get this done
