    lt has been mentioned here somewhere, l like the Callaway legend 45+ at 300 credits a pop, rather than purchase one sleeve at for e.g 300 credits, you can have the option to purchase two sleeves for 500 and 3 for 750! A saving on these three sleeves of 150 credits.

    The same for all brands, just a thought and maybe some tweaking on the prices?

    Yes, and how about a special offer each week?

    Good Idea.

    Maybe not two sleeves for 500 because that's just one more pack.....   3 for 750 sounds good.

    I think this would be a great idea & most probably would not affect WGT profits,We have a saying when making money little but often.

    Whilst I heartily agree with both the buy in bulk and weekly special offer ideas, I'll play devil's advocate for a moment, due to contractual obligation. Also, It's many, many  hours past the time I should be fast asleep (alcohol is not involved, nor a fine example of womanhood, sadly). Might as well babble in public view...

    A business that is bringing in beaucoup revenue, growing substantially while also bringing in large corporate sponsorship money, and/or just plain incompetent when it comes to operating in the field of e-commerce...does not need to cater to their customers, particularly in the one area of equipment that must be purchased repeatedly in order to play the game at a reasonably high level - EXPENSIVE FREAKIN' VIRTUAL BALLS!

    (I need to take a breath after typing that run-on sentence)

    I will wish upon a bolide right along with each of you; little chance of us having our wishes fulfilled in this matter.

    This devil's (temporary) minion predicts there will be an 8-12% across-the-board price increase on top-level balls sooner rather than later. A somewhat common practice is to raise prices a few months prior to the December holidays, then throw the dogs - AKA customers - a bone here and there as the holidays near. Woof!

    Me thinks WGT has grown sufficiently that said strategy might be employed this year. Of course, I also predicted peace and good will would reign in 2013 and we can see how that has turned out...

    I've been practicing with the WGT Tour-S ball in concert with the L90 R11 irons. It's a good ball, no doubt. I can ding them a fair percentage. But I also severely miss-ding enough shots that shooting sub-30 is damn-near as miraculous an event as __ (fill in the blank with your own held close to your heart miracle).

    Not that my skills are anything other than average (I swear if someone checks my stats and makes a snide remark, brain matter will pour out my facial orifices - stats ONLY matter to the person who's stats matter to THEM!)

    Folks such as myself tend to want to at least have a solid shot at shooting sub-30 rounds regularly, yes? I can't achieve such scoring without spending at minimum 250 credits/sleeve. More honestly, 400 credits/sleeve.

    For those of you who shoot mid-50's on at least a weekly basis, please tell me you can do so using WGT Tour-S balls or similar. I won't believe you, but you can make the claim.

    Balls (and mad putting skills) are the key to scoring low. Putters do not have a shelf life. They don't expire. Balls disappear quicker than my daily faith in the kindness of the general human population.

    My duty advocating for Beelzebub has been met. I'm free of his/her/it's hold. Praised be.

    Good night, good morning, good afternoon - wherever you may be.

    Love it! I'm sorry but I'm going to have to confiscate that statement!

    I don't hit the Ding every shot.... sometimes I struggle to hit the Ding when the meter decides to quicken up ... So low scores can be shot by missing the ding :)

    I'd just be happier if the legend balls had more durability.  Dot and a half don't go far.
