  Hopefully they don't replace the Nike balls with anything. That would make scoring realistic again.

  
  
  And why is that important?

  not necessarily @dazza501, you have to be aware of one of your own fellow Wooden Tee members JayW that plays the L34 Cally and shoots scores equal to and sometimes better than the big guns playing top end Nike's...

  Jay doesn't use them all the time.

  It would make playing longer shots tough again instead of stopping a 3 wood or 3 iron dead. We shouldn't be able to backspin a 3 wood. Simple as that.

  I'm just curious then, which ball would you switch to?

  Cally truvis or Volvik. I think we'll get Taylomade TP 5's though with the same specs as the Nikes but they'll be more expensive. But that's just my opinion.

  I totally agree with your assessment, I think we are gonna pay an increase all across the board, the new ball introduced, the callys, volicks, all of them.

  What about all the perks, that come with the apparel program?  If you decrease the spin given by the balls as you purchase them, but players have a super high level on the clothing they have, they will still have the super spin effects?  The apparel program is suppose to be only for coin games, but the perks are in effect for clashs.  I believe it's going to slowly, invade all aspects of the game.  This will then force everyone to get involved with that program!

  If that happened then surely they'd have to use the apparel benefits in the PC game also. Would seem unfair playing tournaments knowing that someone on the mobile app can drive 20yds farther just because they have a nice outfit.
