    In RL i dont care of golf and other ball games just good for our family's dogs and cats.

     

    Anyway i see people pay one way or another 7$ for a sleeve of virtual balls and they are so numerous that I think the price is too low.

    I think WGT redefined the ball to be a bit more durable.

    Youre dreaming they reduce their incomes ?

    This is the only explanation I have. The ball got more durable since I last check ball life time some time ago. It now seems to be the most durable of all balls WGT offers.

    The ball is not popular among experienced WGT players. From that crowd only the particularly cost conscious ones use it. And quite a lot of beginners which still have to be sold to the idea of paying often for balls.  So maybe the WGT marketing department might consider it a smart move to make this particular ball more economic. Or someone screwed up during database maintenance.

    All the brand balls with 2.5 dots durability have 120 hits of life.

    Simple math, if durability is 120 hits / ball excluding putts.

    Thus, every 18 holes, 36 hits.

    Therefore, approximately 3.5 rounds / ball (18-holes / round)

    Yes you do.

    Easier to see wind effect.(side winds, ball movement due to early/late hits)

    For me the main benefit of vapor is that it is much easier to figure out where the ball lands and how much it rolls from there.

    The real interest of vapor ball  is for those who have never understood that a straight line is only a mathematical concept and not believe anything they see as.

    Ok.  I'm sure the ball will land someplace.  I'll pass on vapor.  IMHO, just a waste of $$$.  I have a few buds they use them.  No problem, but not for me.
