    Think we've all started a round - usually a single play in my case -  only to discover the ball in our bag is just about 'dead'.

    A lot of times I personally use the freebies or maybe a ball that I've been gifted but wouldn't normally purchase - to this end I'm wondering if it would be possible for WGT to display the life left on those solo balls in our equipment bag?

    Something along the lines of the image below would be ideal I think and should be relatively easy for those awesome WGT tech gurus to put into place.

    Appreciate a reply, Messrs Icon & Co.

    Cheers,

    Johnny.

    They'll never do it. If you don't know the life left on the ball you're more apt to just go ahead and buy a new sleeve.

    Thats a smart Idea Sir .

    If it is a full ball you know that its good for 9 or 18 holes stroke play .

    1/2 a bar use it for AS games .  

    1/4 bar for Blitz games .

    Howdy there,

    Well aware of the 'Revenue generation 1st priority here'.

    I'd wager there are tons of players with loads of single freebie balls etc in their bag with no intention of replenishing them. 

    Speaking of revenue - noticed you use 'putter pal' - you could  try this...... save you splashing out time & time again.

    Yep I have that overlay actually and do use it. I have WGTCaddy as well. I do use them over the PP sometimes. Not really about the money for it, I got used to PP when I started sometimes I just like it better. 

    The ball idea is a good one, it would be great. So annoying loading in a ball, only to see sliver of red upon loading into game.

    It's a great idea that would be useful to everyone and has been each time I've seen it suggested. That's what leads me to believe it'll never happen. First read it about 2 years ago.

    It certainly is a good idea Mr. Toods, one that should be fairly easy to introduce too.

    I fear we may never see it implemented though.

    Maybe they haven't done it because they know how simple and quick it is to check ball life.Simply start a CTTH round, look at the hits bar then quit without taking a shot. It takes maybe 10 or 15 seconds and you will know fairly close to how many hits you have left.
