I can guarantee that you will get one (1) hit on any ball that you purchase. Once it lands in the water or out of bounds, you will have the chance to hit a new ball. Those expensive Titleist balls that I use IRL come with no guarantee and may only give me that same one (1) hit that my WGT balls offer. (But IRL i do have the option of pulling out an old cut ball when facing a water hazard.)
