    I have many single balls in my inventory and would like to see how much life is left in the ball before i equip it. I hate having to play starter ball in middle of round.

    Before starting a round check the ball by setting up for a practice round . You already know that you have 1 ball or are down to the last ball . Why would you even play or start a round with 1 ball of any type ? As a rule use single balls for practice rounds , ctth , or single blitz play . That way it wont matter since you are in single play mode .

    This has been a topic addressed for over 3 years of my being here with no change . So take the above advice and never start a round with at least 3 balls to play with for just in case .

    As mentioned you can indirectly check how much life a ball has left by starting a Practice round with the ball equipped.

    So you only have to do it once, take the time to do that with each single ball in your inventory and make a paper record of how much life each ball has left. Update your paper record as needed when you equip one of the single balls to actually play.

    Maybe, like me, he doesnt want to pay 250 or 300 credits for a beer suds ball, or a Heart or Champagne ball. Or maybe he just cant afford to buy a new sleeve at the moment. There are lots of reasons someone, myself included, would start a round with just one type of ball in my inventory.

    The OP is right, it would be nice to see the hits left gauge while looking thru the balls i have. But its never going to change, and it has been asked for many many times.

    I just set up a practice single blitz, then b4 the first shot i can see whats left. Its a hassle, but its all you can do.

    My advice is always the same. I keep several good balls in my inventory at all times and have credits on hand in case i need to get some during the round.

    They wouldn't sell as many balls if people knew how many strokes were left. It's the WGT way.
