  It would be nice to have the ability to see the life of the balls you have in your inventory before you start a round and end up having to purchase more of the same balls because the ball you have equipped is almost out of life, I carry several different balls in my inventory and some of them are almost out of life, I would prefer to use these balls for practice rounds instead of getting involved in a ranked round only to see that my ball is almost out of life and I don't have the credits to purchase the same type or make of balls at that time.

  Thank you in advance for your consideration to this request!

  Agree that a  "remaining life" indicator for each ball in our inventory would be helpful - you can get that info now, but it is a pain in the butt. 

  You have to select a ball, open a game and then look at the indicator below the ball at the RH bottom of the screen, record the % of life remaining,  close the whole window and repeat for each ball.

  You already know how many of that type of ball you are about to use before you start. If you want to risk going into the game with just the one hoping to finish that game without losing it or running the life out of it, that is your choice.

  WGT gives you the option to buy on the first tee as a reminder and to buy at that time is your choice as well.

  Thats just fine if you are playing with yourself, But if you are joining a multi player game you can't just open another game to see how much life is left in your ball

  I'm just suggesting this to save all of the questions about why we get free balls after the life of our ball runs out, if we were able to see how much life the ball that we have equipped while setting up has we might choose to change to another in our inventory that we have more than one of, Or one that has enough life to finish a round. As like I stated in my first post I have several balls of different makes that are on the edge of their life running out but don't have any way of checking witch ones until I start a match with those balls,As I would like to get my money's worth out of them but not at the expanse of having a crappy round because the life of one ball runs out while I do have several others in my inventory that I might choose while setting up for that round instead. If only I could tell how much life they had before starting that round with them.

  When it is the last one of that type ball, what does it matter how much life it has left, you still could lose it before it runs out. It is the risk you take for not buying more or starting a game with ONE BALL.

  You Have to remember I don't plan on losing that ball!

  Maybe that is why I have so many to choose from.

  Nobody plans to lose their ball, but it happens. That is why I said, it is a risk using one ball to play a round.

  OK then my response to that is, Why does WGT only give one ball away when they give out balls, I have several of the gift balls that WGT gives away, Why only one?

  They gave us all 3 balls a couple of weeks ago.Personally I carry at least a dozen balls. It costs no more in the long run and weight isn't an issue.
