I was thinking same thing...I too am on a fixed income and use calloways at $2.50 per sleeve. ...why?...because they are decent and "affordable"
Any hobby worth having requires some sort of investment, either money or, even more valuable, your time (doing surveys, etc)....WGT is amongst the cheapest of Hobbies that I have found, especially if you play it a lot. Well worth the money.
I have run into several people who find it necessary to post in public forum (?) that they love the game but cant afford it...and they're always using $7.00 sleeves of balls.....absolutely not necessary unless you're a big time tournament player.
The decision to stay or go is yours alone to make...no need to advertise it....most of us have much bigger fish to fry.
