Golf ball that we choose what it does

  I'd like to see a golf ball that we the player can select what dots we want. WGT could charge a set amount for each dot you put on it.

  If you want a ball with lots of spin or distance and need to slow that meter down or even want your ball to last longer with the durability then select the dots that suit you. After all it does go up to 5 possible dots and i've only ever seen it go up to 2 & half max on any of the balls available (unless you're a legend of course)

  Maybe it could be limited to 10 maximum dots that you could spread across the 4 different attributes on each ball to stop players from just maxing them out.

  YES!

  been suggested before, with no real feedback from wgt - I'd love to see it on the roadmap.

  Now that's a ball I would definitely be interested in.

  I want all 10 dots on my golf ball to go for distance.  There's a certain long par 4 hole at Bethpage I want to reach in one shot...

  Hurray for Dazza! Dial it up to suit your taste. There would have to be a max, though, so you couldn't buy perfection. Say, 4 dots you could use for either super slowness, say, or a blend of other attributes in modest proportions.

  And what about straightness as an attribute of the golf balls? And trajectory?

  As I've mentioned on the forums before, WGT could incorporate any the attributes that the golf ball manufacturers claim for their products (all that hooey about dimples and the like). It may be nonsense in RL, but in a virtual game it could be simulated.

  I have some rain for this parade.

  I already have balls that do what I choose.The only problem is,once I have chosen what I would like them to do,they whizz off into the ether and get distracted,sometimes they look back over their shoulders and smirk at me,other times I can hear them laughing,and once I swear,I saw one putting on a bikini,ready for a dip.

  So,rather than dots and such,I would like sanctions applied to any errant ball whereby they have to serve a certain amount of days in the classroom being taught how to properly behave.They can have as many dimples as they like,but I for one don't see that as cute,I see that as cheeky,and we must put our collective feets down here,they are only balls after all,and must perforce learn to respect their masters.(Or Tour Pros,legends etc)

  Either that,or by gum,I have missed the point entirely.Again.

    this should be at the top of wgt's"things to do next" list.
