  Bottom line is this ...WGT informed us all ahead of time on their product update and they can do whatever they want. So all this speculation and blah blah blah is assinine. Cut it out and buy or dont .

  You all have made a big deal out of nothing. Its just a game and like real life golf if you cant afford to do it then find something else to do.

  Go ahead and bash away but you all sound like a bunch of kids and if you think that I am speaking directly to you then if the shoe fits wear it. Those that have made intelligent remarks need to only ignore this post.

  When you've calibrated ALL your clubs and ALL your shots using a particular type of ball 'similar' isn't enough, I want exactly the same or i'm going to have to go out and recalibrate all my shots using the new balls, this takes a lot of time and quite a bit of money, I estimate it will take 312 shots to re calibrate all my shots and clubs.

   

  With an avg distance to pin of 17 feet, my guess you won't notice a thing...heck, I can switch from Nikes to Cally's, I still land in my putting comfort zone.

   

  Are you thinking .07536 feet will cause you to recal your clubs?

   

  Think about it for a moment...

   

  A shot you have dialed in with wedge goes "X"

  New ball goes "X +/- a"

  3 iron shot used to go "X"

  New ball 3 iron shot not goes "X +/-a"

   

  Since you seem to have tables, ...just scale it out...

   

  Mercy the fuss over "No Price increase" and the words "upgrading the Callaway...."

   

  Chill folks

  Totally agree, hit your regular shot, see the difference if any, and then apply that ratio / difference to all your shots.

  Rocket science it is not.

  WGTwildcat:

  Next week, WGT is upgrading all the Callaway Tour i(s) and Callaway Tour i(z) balls to the latest Callaway HEX Chrome and Callaway Hex Chrome+ balls.

  Because the Callaway balls are so popular among top WGT players, there will be no change in price. The balls will have very similar performance and some will even unlock a level or two earlier than they do now.

  This change will not impact any of the Callaway Tour balls in player inventories, so you can stock up this weekend, or save the Callaway Tour balls as long as you want.

  However, starting Tue July 31^st, only the Callaway Chrome HEX balls will be available in the Pro Shop.

  So, without reading all 10 pages of comments, will their be a "slow meter" ball as with the Tour series??

  4 Legend+ ballls ( un-giftable so what's the point, and durability sucks 2 dots only ), 4 Vapour balls and 2 slow meter balls

  But for me the 's' and 'z' are well good enough.

  Nobody is bashing, are you on WGT's payroll? Kids?

  I think the durability could change for the worse if anything, so buying the old callys might be a good idea, who knows.

  It would be very easy for WGT to provide an overlap, just so we could make a choice.

  In my diary Tuesday is July 30th, and the 31st July is Wednesday.

  Nice bit of obfuscation WGT
