    Wassup WGT, I have an idea. :)

    I've read a lot of recent posts with members asking for balls with specific specs due to fit their wants. Players here play different styles - some like to throw darts & some like to run it close to the pin.

    I think purchasing a blank ball with a certain number of ball  allocation points depending on how much the sleeve costs could solve this entire dilemma. The purpose of this is to apply the points to any category of the ball that the player may desire (Distance, Spin, Feel, Durability).

    Example:

    • For 300 cr - Receive 8 allocation points 
    • For 400 cr - Receive 10 allocation points
    • For 500 cr - Receive 12 allocation points & so on...

    Of course WGT would have to do some math and figure out how much to charge each sleeve for the certain amount of points the ball will contain, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a problem.

    The Pro Shop doesn't have a ball to fit everyone's preferences or style of play, so I think considering a feature like this or very close could provide some added incentives for the players and a large window for revenue on WGT's end. In the end, it's a win-win situation for both sides which is the direction WGT should be heading towards.

    What do you guys think?

    I think you will never see this and if you did it would be crazy pricey.  Have you seen the price of a custom avatar??  And, that thing can't improve your game, it just looks different

    Currently I'm getting 11.5 allocation points per ball with the Callys for 300,,that's .26 per point per sleeve,your scenario shows .37 per point per sleeve ,,,,your intended principal on ball selection sounds great but only if the total spent for point allocation doesn't exceed what we are spending now......great idea but I think it would be to spendy for most to make any changes from what we already have , unless WGT could keep the cost the same as we spend currently that would be great.......
