    Apologize if this is a repeat of a previous post.  I had originally started with the WGT Tour-SD balls (65 cred) and have gone back as it is one of the best bang for the credits balls.  Now, I've grown accustomed to playing a ball with no meter assistance (METER SPEED=0.0).  As a bonus, I also found the meter very consistent (i.e. few meter jumps).  With the fate of the Nike balls looming, any chance WGT could introduce a ball with higher distance/spin but no meter speed?  Something maybe in the 3.5-4.5 range for those two characteristics in the 100-300 credit range depending on durability?  No idea what the market would be, but its very playable with the 4.0 and above meter speed clubs.  Thanks.

    I tried a similar post a few weeks ago.  put quite a bit of thought into it too...

    met with crickets essentially.

    Thanks, great post, and sorry I just didn't add onto it.  I have tried all meters, just found that on my mobile, the 0 meter actually seems to be the most consistent.  We'll see, maybe once the Nike balls are gone, it will get looked at.

    I agree it would be nice to have more ball options.  Even  be able to just make your own custom ball with whatever specs you want and charge per dot of performance and brand name whatever. For me tee to green a no feel ball works great the Tour SD is the best one but I need at least 1 dot feel for putting. So my custom ball would have 5 dots distance, 2.5 spin and 1 dot feel.
