    Says Who ??

    Think you'll find it's all about who's using them !!

    I'd beat you 10 / 10 , but it don't mean the L61 Nike' a bad ball  ;-))

    Max balls are purchased solely based on the slow meter. For the same money, every other ball (I think) provides better distance and spin. 

    IMHO, both of you are correct. If meter speed is crucial, then the max would be the choice, and the person probably plays them very well. Other than that, it's not a particularly good ball...given the cost to purchase.

    Gotta be honest, what with the nearly constant freeze ups, blank screens, sloooow loading, I've by had it with this game. Gonna find another, more reliable, honest, platform.

    Bye-bye then, it's been an absolute joy never meeting you.

    My apologies to all.  My rant below came at the wrong time after a very bad day.  We've all had them, be it on the course of off.  I should have made my self a cocktail and sat back and relaxed a bit before blowing off steam. 

    If I offended anyone, I am truly sorry.

    I suppose, at 71 years, I'm a bit uneducated regarding this game but have a couple questions:

    1. Do balls come with a maximum number of "hits" as one response suggested?

    2. Yea, BLACK MAX aren't really "$200+/ball" but "200+COINS/ball" so I presented that incorrectly.  Still 200. 

    3. What does "your license expired" have to do with the ball disappearing?

    Now I respect that - someone who knows they had a rant and got the price wrong and mans up.

    Yes balls have a number of hits per ball - usually between 90 to 120 depending on the "dots". This excludes putts on the green.

    Max balls are expensive, and there are better balls for the price IMO, however the meter is slow.

    alosso is referring to the agreement - basically we never own anything, we just have a 'license" to use them. As per point #1, balls only have a certain amount of hits before they are taken out of your bag.

    This game can be frustrating and maintaining your computer is paramount. Have a read through the "Getting Started - system requirements as a starting point (too the right in green).

    Obviously your internet speed must be reasonable and using different browsers can aid your game.

    As I said, we need to jump through hoops, but it is a fun game, especially played with friends.

    You can directly choose how much you spend, or alternatively earn free credits to upgrade equipment - then it will only cost in terms of your time.

    Finally I will say, use the search box to the right.....there is a ton of great information if you are willing to look for it. Then if in doubt, ask the forum.

    Have fun
