  Question for the community:

  Scenario: U have been playin a few rounds etc...

  U ball is almost at the end of its hide covered life...

  U want to play a new round or ready-go or Match Play Plus...

  What to do ......U want to start with a fresh ball...but U only got about 6 holes left on U old ball..is it a dis-advantage to be competing with a worn ball?

  Sometimes after my warm-ups..I gots to lose the worn-out small ball before startin fresh!

  What's the poop?

    Hey Longshire, The ball reacts the same from the first stroke to the last (unlike real life golf), so the only concern you should have is, do you have replacements for it when it Does wear out?

    Remember that the replacement ball has to be the exact same type And color, otherwise you get the free WGT ball in mid-round when the last one is used up. Also, you can buy more balls during a round if you find yourself in that situation. GL

  I usually keep 2 dozen in the bag...just have noticed tho that when the ball is low on the life expectency scale...it performs a little weaker...

  Which brings me back to the inquiry: Are U at a disadvantage with a ball that has it's hide ripped up(almost kaput)?

  And if so(which I believe is true)..what to do the next upcoming game when U ball life is terminal?

  No.

  Every ball here at WGT will be EXACTLY the same from first hit to last.

  WGT has addressed this issue before here on the forums.

  BUT, you have to make the purchase while you still have your good ball in play.

  You need to have the WGT.com window open in the back ground.

  Go to the pro shop and buy balls as you normally would and they will show up in your bag.

  You do not need to 'equip your bag' because the balls are already equipped.

  Remember as ALACOWBOY said. You need to do this before you run out. If you have already defaulted to the standard ball you are S.O.L.

   

  Happy hitting
