  Hi

  I see to buy a golf ball now there isn't any dots no more. Can I get a quick run down on how to select one now? Or the comparison of "dots" to the numbers?

  Thanks

  hi

  basically the higher the # the slower it is, same for the durability. 

  for example level 85 has more distance but less spin since distance is 5.0 versus 4.0 and spin 4.0 versus 4.5

  It's pretty straightforward TF, if there were  before, then you will have a 3.5 now.

  As well as the fact that text loads faster than image rendering.

  Not just the future J, the new Nike driver has 4.6 forgiveness.  The potential for creating gear with very slightly different attributes is huge.  With dots they had 10 steps from nothing to max in any attribute.  Now, even only going to a max of 5.0 they have 50 steps.

  The dots were almost maxed out for several items, I guess they had to do something.
