  just my opinion: everyone should play with the SAME meter speed! a reasonable one that most can handle( 3.5 ?) maybe that would help meter glitches. balls/ clubs can still have the other values( spin, distance, etc.). i know it will never be done, but the game would then be on level ground for all players. i use balls with 5.0 speed (the slowest) and whenever i play against others with fast meter balls(especially starters) i feel that i have UNFAIR advantage just because i can afford better balls.

  3.5 meter speed would work for some, but peoples reflexes vary too much.  There will be younger guys complaining about the "slow" meter speed ruining their shots.  

  There will also be some of us older guys complaining that it's too fast.  Someone in a forum once referred  to us as having the reflexes of a hibernating bear.  LOL

  There are many ways to earn "free credits".  And inexpensive balls from WGT available that can serve as an alternative to the higher level expensive balls.  As the man said, "Choose.  But choose wisely."

  then wgt should at least offer cheap balls with slow meter for those who cannot afford $$$$ balls.

  Why should they?

  WGT is a business not a charity.
