    1 dot gives about 3%, 2 about 4.5% for WGT balls over the free ball.

    Srixons about 5.5%

    Callaways about 6.5%, 

    Nikes. Don't know or care.

    The WGT balls are like "Pebbles".

    And a lot of others like "Chewing Gum":

    I've only thoroughly tested one ball. WGT Tour SD. It has 2 distance and 2 spin dots. I pretty much consistently got 4% extra distance. I've heard that spin affects it too, so I'm not sure how much help this is.

    Basically you should get 2-3 yards extra per dot. 1 dot 2 or 3 yards extra. And the previous poster was correct the more spin used the shorter the distance except with the driver.

    I have and are using WGT13 D's 1 dot, have used Callaway 4 dots. On average IMO you will get 10 - 15 more yards per drive. Hope that helps.
