  The new Titleist ProV1 balls have less spin than the Pro V1x which is back to front......the Pro V1x was created with a lower spin ratefor players who were spinning the Pro V1 too much......yet another thing on this game that is wrong if we're talking WGT being a realistic golf game.

  Also....the cost of the top Titleist balls have just put 90% of your players out of the market, why introduce a new product if they aren't affordable.

  I'm guessing the reason to introduce it is that someone will buy them, and it's probably no additional cost to them to offer it.

  definitely no cost to WGT which is what makes it more disappointing, simple greed

  I think those high credit balls are for the super players that make a lot credits on the virtual tour. 

  The top money winners, it seems to make sense

  I think you mean simple capitalism.
  
  But hey, why quibble? 
  
  I suppose we all be better off if we could (metaphorically) pick any car color we like as long as its black.

  I always spun the ProV1 much more than the proV1x.....when they were 1st introduced here in Australia the ProV1x had a lower spin rate

  I always assumed the same thing, pro v1 having more spin then v1x.  I stopped playing them as they don't come in yellow.  Shocker

   

  But, according to Titleist, the v1x has higher spin.
