  I have gone back to using L33 Cally's from the L47? Nikes, simply because of price and not that much between em, and had no problem that the name had altered, the stats are Identical.......however.........they are classed as a completely different ball, so now I have 3 of the Hex balls and 2 of the original i(S) balls.....instead of 5 of the same ball waiting to replace the last one whenever its life runs out or WGT decide it's my time for losing one.

  This means that If I run out of either in the middle of a round, I will have to continue that round with a starter ball, even though I still have some exact same Cally's remaining, just a different name.

  And that is wrong.

  agree that is problem , now  I have 5 different calls in the bag and one of each , so I can't use them , I would not want to end a round with the starters.

  they love it when a plan comes together - maybe use em on the putting challenge or ccth or something?

  I quit jumping from ball to ball & settled on the 'old' Cally 33 about 4 months ago.  I had my irons & wedges pretty well tuned in with them.  Have been playing the 33 Hex for 3 days and LOVE THEM.  They may have the same dot parameters as the old ones, but they play better for me. Both iron and wedge performance has been consistent and  I seem to have a little better control over short range shots.

  Just what i have experienced too, i'd used the cally since lvl33, have tried nike, but them i just overhit way long on approaches, cause i have the power on cally so growed in my mind that i often just check wind, change club(fkn caddy 99% always give me a wrong) set power and hit. I've got lvl71-nike gifted from a friend, tried them, but when i'd used them i took my good ol' cally's back!!

  Use them in blitz to they are dead, a half blitz with houseball is good practice on your reactionskill on R11 lol

  You can also use them up in the monthly random drawing CTTH tourneys. That way if the ball dies in the middle of the round it doesn't affect your chances of winning anything. Granted, your chances of winning a drawing in those is slim but it doesn't get any worse using the free balls to finish the 9 shots.

  since my original reply a week ago, I seem to think I am getting less play (hits) per ball with the Hex ball.  Does anyone think so as well?

  Not really an upgrade then IMO, if l upgraded my mobile l'd expect one better not the same or worse!!

  I havent count excactly number of shots, but i feel they last the same as Touri(s), but my drives goes a bit longer than before update and better trajectory on my approaches. Often my 4i goes way better than it did with Touri(s).

  There needs to be a way to combine balls that are alike during equipping of the bag.  that is more like real life and certainly not against normal golf rules.  C'mon WGT.  This should be a real easy fix.
