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

  Bit of advice Wildcat. Don't make the spin so good on these new Callaways. While your at it make the Nike balls spin worse too. Lets make this game hard to play again so it's more fun.

  Another piece of.....

  Stick the spin on the Max that your loyal customers use @ $6 a pop, and which keeps you in knickers ?

  Eh, Bobby ? ..you need to delve more deeply ?  

  A 'knee jerk' is just a bodily reaction !!

  Why does this phraseology make me nervous? Can't wait to see what similar means besides relearning shots.

  Why do i get the feeling the durability in the level 33's will be shafted from 2.5 dots to 2 dots? We shall see.

  Why not Keep what we have and you just add the Chrome HEX ball to the pro shop?

  I have a feeling that the ball I use now for $4.50 will have less spin after this update which in turn will try to force me to buy a higher priced ball with the same attributes I have now.

  I think that is were "similar" is going to come into effect 

  Every year it has become more costly to play here, I haven't seen WGT giving back to the community in some time. Maybe they have and I've just not seen it; I've not visited the forums much??

  So, if anything I feel this "NAME CHANGE" is going to end up costing us in some way.  If not; it would just be an announcement to change the name of the Callaways and not change the name and have attributes tweaked and changed.......  

  Maybe change the trajectory on the G20s to the so-called "High trajectory" that they are suppose to be;  while you guys are tweaking products?

   

  Happy Friday Folks!
