  How many players play exclusively with starter balls and what are their tier levels?  Just curious.

  I'm thinking your query is DOA. Given the number of supposed players on this site, it must be in the tens of thousands. No way to determine a clear answer.

  Theres some great players on here use them tdonm. They have them mapped to perfection, in fact they would struggle if they changed...........think they would get hang of it sharp though.

  Read this stuff and couldn't help but chip in. I've been buying the 10 credit balls which are essentially starter balls. One is distance and one is spin. I switch back and forth depending on the course and conditions I'm playing. I also use the 43 credit balls. A mix of spin and distance but still the 0 meter speed of the starters. Wish I had always used them. Like you said, you get dialed in with these things and you can play pretty well with them.

  They might not, but the clubs have.

  I have seen them spinning back several yards many times on a flat green.

  I play only those priceless balls.

  80% of my HIOs are done with those balls.

  As long you get the smooth meter they are worth the money.

  I get mine on black market for half price.

  I just hope that majority of players won't use them, so they won't be out of stock.

  For the ''simple'' fact of be rounded a ball MUST have spin, the physics of wgt must take the starter as a square ball

  Btw, I play with the starter (from around one year)

  No they have it as a low class starter rock, more comparable to a range ball.  Certainly not much spin at all if trying to compete, and skill wise not rewarding as to, well, range ball.

  Super.

  EDIT:

  See later..yes can play them, but to compete in bigger stuff won't get you there........
