  Balls Taken Out Of Play - How can WGT take balls out of play during game play or important tournaments? Leaving the player with starter balls the rest of the game.

  Can we change balls during a game? NO

  WGT can you change the practice of "Taking Balls Out Of Play" until after the players current game is over or give us the ability to change balls during a match.

  Our scores and golfing Avg. sinks drastically when we go back to starter balls. The meter is hyper super fast and uncontrollable.

  It's not WGT problem or responsibility. It's the player's responsibility to make sure the equipment bag is stocked properly according to the rules of the competition in any game. Put enough of your preferred ball in stock before you enter a competition. WGT even gives you the opportunity to get more of your preferred ball while you're playing before you run out!

  In a real life competition using these rules (which are allowed to be imposed by a tournament committee) you would be disqualified. You would lose and not even finish the round. At least WGT gives you something to finish with.

  Solve your problem by getting two, three or four sleeves of your preferred ball. Every time you "open" the last sleeve (get down to 3 or less balls) buy some more. Problem solved, You don't run out or get upset about the starter balls and no one has to program anything.

  Well said srellim234 !

  WGT does their part by letting players know in the game we just started using our last ball of the make/model we equipped our bag with, and gives the player an opportunity to buy more of the same ball. In addition, the game client page shows a graphical representation of how much durability the ball has remaining.

  "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse drink."

  If the player ignores the warning and elects to not get more of the same ball at that time, the player sure can't blame WGT when later the player winds up with none of that ball left.

  No it is not .... just because you can't, doesn't make it so.

  Yep, It's all about eye-hand coordination.

  Not so sure about that. A lot of being able to time the meter is perception and if you have a wide difference in meter speeds it is going to be very difficult to time it. His woods wedges and putter have very similar speeds that are medium to medium slow but his Max precision iron set has one of the fastest meters in the game about the same speed as the old I15's.
