  Did you think they were in boxes stacked on shelves or something?

  Too funny. :^)

  Um. Ask Mainz about this problem, unless he's already shared.

  IHe just does not understand. The ball is just a file that can be pulled up ,and  edited at any given moment. 

  Thats how they can keep the ball and edit the name ,and delete the Nike logo. 

  Now if Nike does quit the golf business there is nothing stopping WGT from making the ball yellow

  Ok...let's finish up with all these nonsense. Wgt's nike balls is not a hardware that keeps in stock. Stock defines an amount (attention on the word amount..) of tangible things. A stock with unlimited supply is not a stock.

  Wgt and Nike had a contract in which they agreed that wgt can supply Nike balls to the players. Now, WGT has no stock of balls. Nike has not sell them 1.000.000 balls. Nike conceded the right of use to WGT which means that WGT uses this right to supply the players with an unlimited amount of Nike balls (software balls) as long as the contract is still on.

  Now, if these simple things are not clear for you 2, i rest my case...

  perfect! this opens up the market for higher end balls. that way wgt can sell pro v1's with the same stats as the nikes have now for $14.99 a sleeve!

  It seems obvious that Titleist would not allow their

  brand to be used by WGT, or it would have been 

  available from the start, the #1 ball in golf, but

  what about other companies like Bridgestone,

  Dunlop, Top-Flite, Wilson.

  Also, Will there be a 287 yd. driver between L92 &

  L96 after the Nike Pro Fly is gone?

  Actually you don't know if Nike has capped the number of sales, or told WGT that they must sell X-many balls to honor the contractso no case to be rested

   

  Makes no matter anyways, I think most play vis specs, not brands

  What a subject: online licenses, in stock or not? LOL!

  Many do though, see all the requests for this brand or the other. Remember Titleist...

  One of my mates told me recently that he bought Cleveland 588 wedges IRL because he plays well with them here. That's real Euros, not credits! I held back my thoughts of how well the advertising deal worked out for both companies.

  Is there any chance of lowering Nike clubs by 10 levels rather than 5?  I'd like to by the driver but I may not be able to get to level 95 by the end of the month.
