  Nike 81's are  3.5 meter speed, 5 distance, 4 spin, and 2.5 lifespan for 550 cr

  Yes, but they are not between 300-400 credits.  Just saying make more affordable.  The people in other countries can not get loads of free credits or afford the high price ones.

  So what if the whole planet uses them?

  high end putter with same meter speed as the begginners putter would be a dream for me

  There already is a high level putter with a meter speed of 5 which is the same a both the beginner and starter putters. The level 98+ Odyssey Sabertooth has a meter speed of 5 and the level 101+ Taylor Made Red Spider's meter speed of 4.7 isn't much faster.

  actually the sabertooth says 5 meter.....but is way faster than the begginners putter......ive tried it.....

  They don't give anything for a good price

  
  
  That's simply not true. For example, the Callaway Chrome Soft (Level 33+) are a great ball at a great price.
  
  In fact, they're plenty good enough for the tier you're at. You could save money by switching from the Nike Level 81 to those.

  Besides, those in the US can play this game for free, if they choose to do. I haven't spent any money on this game in over 2 years.

  So what if the whole planet uses them?

  My point was that if they make a ball for 300cr but with 550 cr ball characteristics, then everyone would use them and if they're already selling the 550 cr ball what's their incentive to do that?

  What your asking for is akin to them making a 289 yr driver for 2000 cr when normally they are 4500.  The price points vs. performance are already set and have been for a long time don't see them changing it up now to make things cheaper.

  It sure would be nice though! :)

  They should rotate through the different balls in the proshop and have ball sale of the week or something.  Every week put a different ball on sale.  I'm sure people who use that ball would likely buy a bunch of them.

  It's 100% true. Everything on this game is WAY over priced. I've spent a lot here and feel more ripped off every day. Call me stupid but I enjoy playing still. I also use the Callaway's for 300 and I don't like the meter speed.

  Way too many meter speeds, spin and distance numbers, just another way for WGT to do what they do. Lost balls are also a joke in most areas. I get losing a ball in the water but people do fish their ball out of the water a lot. And most people find their ball in brush. Balls don't last long enough and should never end during a round. I do enjoy playing but there is way too many variables that make balls lifetime too short for the cost. The overall cost of playing is very expensive. Losing hits because of quitters and losing passes is another joke. I got 4 "free" passes for getting friends signed on but as long as I held on to them I didn't get a daily pass so it added up to nothing. Come on WGT make the game more reasonable. Give more than 150 200 credits for moving up and have some decent give aways. Sell "found" balls with hits on them maybe. Give better prices on sell backs and/or allow us to sell clubs between members.
