Nike Balls, Are they there or Not

  I've noticed over the last several months that while playing with the level 61 Nike balls, that the shots left on the ball vary from one shot to the next. First shot will say that the ball is well in the white/barely used. The next shot will show red, and on and on.

  Also get the message that this is the last shot on this ball, hit it, and the next shot the ball is in the white. Have gotten this is your last ball, and bought 3 or 4 sleeves over time when this happens, only to find out that I have 5 or six left after buying a new sleeve. I can hear you saying, well you should know how many balls you have in your bag, but when the buy more balls message comes up while in game, the last thing I want to do is play with the rocks.

  So I sent a polite email to WGT trying to explain this problem. Their response was, Our team is aware of this problem, and we are trying to fix it, which is good. But they went on to say that I need to be sure and check each message as to balls, IE last shot on ball, or last ball do you want to buy more. I thought this was very patronizing on their part, as I have been playing this game for over three years now. Is this another subtle way for WGT to sell things, are is there actually a fix in the works.

  Like most of the people here, I love this game, and don't mind spending money on it, but feel like I have bought 3 or 4 sleeves of balls when I didn't really need too, although I did use them up.

  Thanks,

  It wasn't. This bug showed up a while back and until they fix it, if in doubt when you see that message, check your bag. There's another version of that bug that gives you that message, you buy them without thinking and then get the same message next hole! You go look at your bag and you don't even see the ones you just bought but you saw the credits disappear.

  Closing the browser and reopening it solves the problem and puts the balls you bought in your bag. It's one of those low priority fixes and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to fix it.   :-(

  Easiest thing to do is look before starting a round ? Make it part of your preparation like a putting routine...( check scale, flag out, reverse view, check scale again LOL..etc etc )

  and if you have 5 or 6 left then probably should know that ?

  Had message a few times but KNOW there are always @ least 5 sleeves waiting in bag so dismiss alert.
