  well I've always been a fan of the nikes and callaway balls.. but the price is so high and it takes so long to do surveys.. plus there are days where i don't qualify for any.. so I'm thinking about just using the free wgt balls.. but do you think its possible for me to shoot the scores I'm doing now.. will i be able to make it to tour master with the free balls.. and with the gear i have is it good enough to make it to tour master with the free balls

  Probably not. 

  The meter with the free balls is incredibly fast, and typically the cause of most problems suffered by lower-tiered players. 

  Myself, I would buy any of the WGT-sponsored balls. Hopefully these won't break your bank account too much, and you can start earning some credits in tournaments/matches/games, and buy some nicer balls/equipment. 

  But, I'm not saying that it's impossible to make Tour Master from your position, just unlikely with starter balls. Even the slightest upgrade to golf balls works wonders.

  I use the 10 cent balls. At least they have a bit of spin.

  I have to go against the grain here.

  Many (me as well) made legend with G10's (the clubs your current ones replaced).

  I mainly used starter and BXD balls playing the free weekly tourney's.

  If I could remember who sent me my first sleeve of Callaways for winning a CC Tourney, I'd sick the WGT NARC squad on him for dealing that drug to me:)

  If you have not yet tried them. I suggest SRIXON Z-STAR XV.  The durability is the same as Nike & Call's. Plus, for whatever reason. I normally match other (master Tier) R11 drives.  Even though  the other player is using Nike or Call's.  @ 200 credits per sleeve, it is a nice savings from 300 Credits for the Call's or the whopping 450 + for the nike's.

  I definitely know who slipped that roofie in my WGT drink - but then someone else slipped me an even BETTER one, but I've kicked the addiction to the Nike 20XI's finally...

  But, since I like the guy, I'm not naming names - that's just needling someone more than they deserve.
