  So I cannot call WGT criminals

  Ok, maybe I went a bit overboard right there, but altering characteristics of  clubs/balls after they have been bought at least is near criminal if you ask me. It's like buying a Ferrari and ending up with a Volkswagen Beetle...

  Dimples, Cover, Core - none of the above applies to virtual software balls I'm afraid.

  The announcement of "similar" doesn't say "better", and "same price" doesn't point to improvement either. It wakes all my paranoid nerves.

  Remember the implementation of the ATV wedges. replacing the Z Satins? That was even worse, lower quality for double price :(

  It could be the other way , get people to spend a lot on stocking up on the old balls , then hey presto the new ones are better , everyone wants them , more spending , more money in the coffers .

  the durability should go up on the new Callys.

  lolol....what's the betting they'll be 1/2 a dot less.

  wgt aren't criminals.....greedy as hell yes.......criminal no.

  i've yet to see a business that doesn't go belly up due to greed......wgt will most likely suffer the same fate as the players lust for over priced pixels diminishes further.

  Cool story bro...

  According to a report published by the Bank of Korea on May 14, 2008 investigating 41 countries, there were 5,586 companies older than 200 years. From these 3,146 are located in Japan, 837 inGermany, 222 in the Netherlands and 196 in France.^[1] 89.4% of the companies with more than 100 years of history are businesses employing fewer than 300 people.^[1][2] A nationwide Japanese survey counted more than 21,000 companies older than 100 years as from September 30, 2009.^[3]

  In general, doesn't "upgrade" mean better?

  Probably as in "upgrade" to the newer model. I hope MBaggese is right and its an upgrade with no increase in cost. BUT......I doubt it.

  WGTwildcat:

  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.

  So seems cost will be the same..I could see performance increasing a bit...but possibly a decrease in durability?
