Thanks Long, you're quite right about the GI2-Ds being a good buy at 64 credits per sleeve. Just a tad faster meter, same durability and distance as the GI3-D.
Excellent post andyson...looking forward to the quirky rules and strange facts coming soon. Btw selling balls back to WGT at the usual sell back price would be a great idea...i have about 80 balls i'll never use.

Great post;
I presently use the calloway Legend balls which has a rating of 2 dots of durability. I am definitely not seeing 95 hits / ball with a durability rating of 1.5 dots. Assuming you reach the green in regulation and putts don't count against the durability of the ball that would translate to 5.3 9-hole rounds. I am lucky that I get 2 rounds / ball. Which also has a 2 dots of durability. Could someone please check the durability of the ball on WGT's end.
Hey Andy I think the United Nations C.C should give you one of their fancy ribbons as an Honorary Nobell Award. If not give your self one for all the GREAT work you do in these forums, you keep us informed and laughing all at the same time. THANKS ANDY....
OkieX: The dots mean whatever WGT wants them too. Now go get your wallet.

Has wgt ever stated exactly how many hits equal 1 dot of durability?
I have read what players believe to be true but is there an official figure?
