  Couple of questions regarding the purchase balls.

  How long can a purchase balls last ? say on a 2/10 and 4/10 scale on durability? How many rounds of 18 holes can u play with a 4/10 durability ball?

  What happen once a ball wears out? Does it disappear from the equipment list?

  Hi,

  From experience the GI2-D  balls last about 57 holes (3 rounds). Once the ball wears out WGT replaces it with the same, or, if there isnt one in your bag, it gets replaced with the basic WGT starter ball (unlimited durability). Nasty situ if you're in the middle of a comp lol.

  Cheers Doug

  A couple of things to note here:

  • It will not substitute a different colour ball of the same type.
  • You can purchase the same type/colour of ball that you are using during the round and it will replace with the new ball if needed. (if you happen to notice you are on your last ball of that type!)

  Same way as you would normally purchase them, through the main page pro shop.

  They automatically go into your bag when you buy them while you're playing. Do not click the equip button after the purchase.

  But PompaMike, do keep in mind that you cannot purchase and use new balls during a round if you've just lost, plopped in the water or worn out your favorite ball. They must be purchased BEFORE you run out.

  usually until I splash them in the drink or send them knee deep in the weeds out of bounds :(
