  Interesting...looks a lot like a ball I tried recently; the Nike 74 @500 cr. But these new balls are 350 cr. The only difference in specs seems to be that the Nike has 4.5 spin and these are 4 spin.

  I tried matching a ball w/ 3 meter to my Nike 85s, but I like the Cally yellows better but these might be different from the Nike, so, I'll try them because the price is right.

  Hi guys

  Here are some notes for the latest downtime.

  New Volvik balls on WGT

  Some?   

  Does this mean that there is more to follow on what happened during the downtime? Or was the new Volviks the only addition? In which case, the word "some" should have been "the".  

  As in, here are the notes for the latest downtime.  ;-)

  Just bustin' ya chops Icon,  i'm happy, it's another yellow ball that I can use when bored for a good cost to specs ratio.  Now when I need a slower meter I can use these, but when I think I need to speed up the meter I can use the Cally's, all the while never having to use a white ball.  :)

  Looking forward to a "pearl" set/sleeve.

  Maybe 2 PGA players play these balls, and 1/2 of the LPGA..why do weed need them when we have more balls than we know what do to with lol...i am still waiting for them to update the payouts on tourneys 2 weeks ago, that would have been an update. Now if those Cally irons come out i am all over them lol....just my 2 cents dont mean nothing.

  I don't know DD - for a guy who plays L48 Nikes at 400c - I am up for any new balls in the 400c or less range that may be consistent enough to play. I will certainly try them at 350 credits - on the surface the specs are decent for 350 credits. 

  Now, the 800+ credit balls - I don't even flinch to look at those - lol

  A ball with stats in between the lvl 33 callies and the lvl 71 nikes...... i think its a good add might have to give them a try when i use up these nikes

  They only have 2 durability so depending on which Nike ball you are comparing them to it might not be as much of a savings as one would think.. If you are getting 20 or 30 hits less per ball that could add up. I haven't done the math to know as I am not all that interested in them, but just a thought

  Edit: Guess the 51's have 2.5, so might be a good option for some.
