  I also don't use them, I'm hoping one day they might become a collectors Item and  and by them in 2115 I might be able to put them on Ebay....

  Point is well taken, a great marketing strategy would be to give away the best ball available as you said cost nothing, this would only encourage two things:

  1. Wow! this is a great ball! I've been killing myself with those cheap .40c WGT balls gotta get these!

  2.Wow! this is a great ball! gotta level up  so I can buy these...

  Nuff said.

  I like these balls though I don't chose any. They are a good measure of the value the company gives to it's clients. It's not a premium ball which would enable a demo of premium game options, it's not a sleeve of three which might be useful in a serious 18 holes game.

  It's rather one(!) low level(!) ball, pimped by fancy vapor or a bright advertizing  logo. Me thinks these "gifts" are rather useless from Master tier up.

  Talk about customer value, invariantly low here.

  Stop gifting us ...

  @ Tightrope: Speek only for yourself, please.

  There are many players here that like the balls. I use them for alts and cc-tourneys. If you dont like them it`s ok. But like I said: You can only speak for yourself, not for "us".

  Lastly , after leaving my hospital's intensive-care unit , having had treatment for a serious heart-attack - the sight of that ball had me reaching for the phone straight away to call the paramedics again.
