  The Nikes , are the better ball . Now what is it that you are trying to do ? The Nike also costs more , so make sure that the move is cost effective . Also when looking at the Callaway balls , the Legend callys have a shorter durability , than the regular cally balls .

  So for the same 300 credits you can get a better Cally ball than the Legend balls . Take a look at the level 35+ Cally , I think you will find it to be a better ball . Hope this helps , and good luck , with what you are trying to do . :-)

  Cool. The OP has an Antarctica flag.

  It's winter in the southern hemisphere so WGT would be a good way to pass the time.

  For me the performance of the Nike balls is worth the extra credits after having tried a couple of sleeves of the Callaway balls.

  An even better value than the Callaway balls may be the Level 13+ Srixon ball.

  I'm not convinced about the value of the Srixons.  If we simply divide the price by the number of dots you get a cost of 22.22 credits per dot for Srixon and 21.74 for Callaway.

  That may be over simplifying it a tad but if WGT do ever offer custom designed balls you can bet the price will be per dot.

  If you're not competing in money tournaments, maximizing your credits per dot has to be balanced against minimizing your outlay per round. Spending 25-30 credits per round on Callaways (250 cr/3 balls/3 18-hole rounds per ball) may not be viable for many players.

  I used Srixons until I got good enough to compete in Tour Master RGs, when I switched to the L33 Callaways. I used those until I was competitive in Legend RGs, at which point I moved to L61 Nikes for the extra feel (very helpful with the R11 irons). Perhaps I'll switch to one of the L90 balls sometime.

  I know many high-level players prefer the L33 Callaways, but I'm not good enough.
