  It is FREEKIN REDICULOUS! that we get stuck with the "Que ball", which sucks by the way, when our current ball runs out of life in the middle of a round.

  Let us choose any ball in our bag.

  Now I have like 10 balls I'd like to use but I have one of each.  I don't want any more of them I just want to use them up.

  Or you should let us sell back all the balls we don't want.

   

  Anyhow, you cost a lot people a lot of credits which turns them away.

  Drop the stupidity or Greed at the door on your next upgrade and let us handle all our balls in the bag instead of giving us that piece of crap that should be upgraded, it is a real _ _ _ _ ball, if you know what I'm saying.

  It costs no more in the long run to carry more balls. You get a warning when you are on your last ball so just buy more then.

  I'll admit, it is a little strange that you can't decide which ball will be used next. However, it is what it is. Pay attention to the meter and don't start a round with a ball that will likely "wear out" during the round, especially if there are credits on the line.

  What a completely new and unexplored idea! Why has no one ever thought of this before?

  I just buy more balls when I get the last ball reminder. You get that reminder as soon as the last ball is put into play so there is no reason at all to run out of balls during a round. Unless you choose to run out.And since they added the last ball warning I have never run out of balls.

  The only time that I didn't buy a new sleeve when the last ball was put into play was last week when my last ball was put into play during a CTTH round that I was playing on WGT mobile on my Iphone 4s at work during lunch hour. The last ball warning isn't in the mobile version yet. As soon as I started a round on the PC at home the next morning I got the last ball warning and bought a new sleeve.

  tellin ya - if you take a week (or less) you'll find you can shoot as well as you ever did with the premium balls anyway -

  I'm on day 5 or 6 and I'm only a stroke or 2 off what I normally did anyway - kinda nifty - just be patient and try to use it - the credit burdon is lifted and it's kinda cool

  *edit = speaking of free stock rock - noting I have some pretty good equipment - not sure how better balls vs free balls are anymore with lesser clubs - I'm pretty sure it's a lot tougher then.

  Here`s a thought , buy 3 sleeves of the brand ball that you like to play . When you get down to 2 sleeves , but 2 more sleeves . Now you should have 4 sleeves of balls , equaling 12 balls . Now once you get back down to 2 sleeves of balls , then buy 2 more sleeves . Never let your ball stock get below 2 sleeves , at any time . As for the single balls, use them for either practice rounds , or CTTH play . Thats what I do , and it works great .

  As we speak I have 99 balls in my inventory. Sad part is the majority of these balls I probably will never use. Several are my novelty balls I have received. Still waiting for my wall rack to display them in. I guess I need to play a few rounds for the fun of it to get rid of some of these. When they go away I will finish the round with the rocks and just have fun with it. All good here.

  great plan - i'm on that concept at present - If I read you right over the time I've been here, it sounds as if our vision issues are similar - okay days and pretty sad days in that regard.

  I will say the brain can relearn pretty quickly - good luck friend and be well :)

  You got it right duff, I have yet to play as good as a Legend as I did before. I keep on trying, have some good ones and some bad ones. I play for the fun of it, scores don't matter at all. This is the only thing I do on a computer. My son introduced me to this game, I have stayed and he left a long time ago. My friends on here and the enjoyment I get passing some time are my reasons to keep on. Not to mention I seem to have a hard time staying out of the forums. I will try to curtail my forum addiction in the future, may have better luck giving up the camels after 51 years of smoking. LOL.
