  ShadyShank:

  I also have a poll and, although it is a personal poll and not one 'sanctioned' by WGT, my fascination with human nature, and inability to comprehend how people, and or businesses or organizations, are able to justify certain things to themselves, when they make no sense at all, is peaking over this topic.

  This has 3 options for answers, 1 for yes, 2 for no, & 3 for I must be an idiot.

  Question-Are you willing to buy your favorite ball, at a higher price, when the only difference in the ball is that it is a different color than white, or has a virtual "vapor trail"?

  If you answered 1 for yes to that question, here is a follow up question for you. Would you pay 10-20% more money for a car, with the only difference being that it was yellow instead of white, and yellow is your favorite color?

  If you answered 1 to the 1st question and 2 to the 2nd question, if you add those together you end up at 3. That's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with regarding this particular subject.

  WGT, feel free to keep my Nike's white and even lose the vapor if you so choose. As long as the ball performs the same being just plain white and doesn't leave, basically what a jet engine produces behind it, I seriously doubt I will ever notice I don't have those features that cost extra, for no reason at all.

  Forgive me please, I am remiss. I did not think of the very costly expenditure that WGT incurs when their programmers use that expensive paint from that program.....oh yeah, Paint!

  Are you from N.Korea ???

   

  choices make the world go round fella !!

  Hell, rich people pay hundreds  for a pair of shoes just because they can.

   

  Okay, this is the major problem with blogs or forums. I didn't mention the word rich, wealthy, and didn't even make a person's income part of the questions. So, the very next post is one that suggests that I must have a problem with how anyone spends their money. I love rich people, I'm thankful for them and, as an American citizen, I would not begrudge a single human soul anything they desired.

  Now, please do, at least me, a favor and never assume you know what the fk I think about anything. Okay? And try answering literal questions with literal answers. It tends to work much better that way.

  Basically it comes down to choice, so Yes to the OP and Yes in principle to Shadys question, although I would probably not buy based on color, especially if they cost more.

  A vapor trail to me is a gimmick so refuse to buy these anyway but again it comes down to the freedom of choice.

  As for a car being more expensive based on color - yes  they can be. Many dealers in Australia charge a premium of about $1000 for a  metallic  color. I do however agree, the coding would not cost more than a few cents of the programmers time to change the color.

  Perhaps WGT could do what BMW do, you get the basic model then add all the accessories to get what you want - of course all this comes at a cost and the basic model ends up costing considerably more.

  So how much will it cost for 5 dots distance, 5 dots spin, 5 dots durability, 5 dots feel and 5 dots Yellow?

  Priceless.

  Question for the WGT community

  Yes, I'm talking yellow Callaways again.  ;-)  

   

  I know that there is a large amount of players who use the Callaway ball, and maybe even more so now with the new Nike irons.  

  My question to the community is:

   

  Would you be interested in using a yellow version of the Callaway balls even if they were a few more credits just for variety?   I'm hoping maybe, if there is enough demand, WGT will get on board with this.

  Or, if I find that there isn't many supporters, I'll finally give it a rest.  :-)

   

  reply with one of the following, or whatever you feel like.  lol

  1.YES

  2. NO

  3 Maybe, depends on cost increase.

   

  Thanks for your support if you decide to participate.

   

  Just to add to your crusade bro lol sure would be a nice addition

  Please do me that favour yourself too, cause where the fk did I ever accuse you of having a problem with rich people. I answered your question first and they added a thought of my own, so please take your own advice and stop assuming you know what I meant by what I wrote. Jeez

  Yeah, I'm willing to pay an extra 25cr for a yellow ball that performs the same as a plain white one.  That makes me an idiot in your opinion.

  Oh Great and SmartA$$ ShadyShank, it logically follows that paying 375cr for an avatar that adds nothing to one's performance,  and merely looks different, is also idiotic.

  Therefore, ShadyShank is an idiot.

  In response to paying extra just for a different color,  

  I think my answer is obvious lol. I've been asking for a yellow Callaway for quite some time now. 

  The other day, I took my last 550 credits and tried a sleeve of the L81 Nike ball.  

  Went through the entire sleeve using mulligans and comparing them to the L33 Callaway.

  I tried different spin amounts with both balls and never got more than an extra yard or two between irons.  

  Driver differences were only minimal, and with differing amounts of spin, the L33 can be just as long  and even longer on some hits.

  So....  L33 250 credits for white  or 275 credits for yellow,  is still 2 sleeves to 1 sleeve of nikes.

  Spending a few extra credits for a different color sure beats spending double the credits for another white ball that hardly has any added benefit.
