  I think so, they slow down your meters a little when using the clubs with the faster meters

  In my opinion... it depends.  Sorry about that, couldn't help myself.  I've tried the 44cent balls and the 10cent balls as well as using the free ones.  Seems like my putting and distance were the best with the 44 cent ones but my score results haven't changed that much.  Tried the 10 cent balls and saw almost no difference from the free ones.  If I was good enough, and thought I'd be competetive in a tournament, I'd probably be buying the high priced ones.  As it is, I need a lot more practice before spending more for better balls (if ever) would make sense.  I do believe there is value to match the price differences but not for the average player.

  I'm thinking unless you want a meter that moves so fast it would make Usain Bolt jealous, then the slow meter balls are a must.

  It took you 17 months to decide. Are you absolutely sure?

  With a meter you have your good days and you have your bad days, but mainly days where the meter is fine. The only balls I think are good value are the B-ES balls but even then using them only for ranked and important tournaments. Save up and buy Tour PLUS. Download game booster.

  You tried tour sd?... they are the cheapest and arguably the best value high performance balls... and they don't play with the meter speed either...

  Google 'Download game booster' and click on the top result. Then you just need to click on wherever it says to download it.

  I didn't complain about the meter speed all I'm saying is when your timing is good you have to aim well. When it isn't you get a par and carry on. I'm still sticking with the balls with the best value: The Starter balls. If I had the credits I'd play all rounds with Tour S but I don't so I'm saving up for the Rapture V2 9.5 driver.
