  has the distance for a taylormade

  has everything the same as a nike level 48 ball

  same price aswell

  There`s a very good reason for that . Its called a graphics change and its nothing new . All WGT did was change the brand name and picture and nothing else . They did it with the Callaways a few years back and also with the Nike club removal as well . So now you know which ball to go to once you run out of your old nike balls .

  This is why there was no reason to stock up on the Nike balls . All that did was make WGT`s pocket fatter , since all they did was re-brand the Nike ball . So no you arent going senile , you just got played by WGT as did many others who fell for the stock up ploy .

  Interesting you say this because I'm running into some differences in carry than what has been for me, so far. It seems the tee is adding about 5 yards like it used to a long time ago but what's really concerning me is how the carry numbers for the 3, 4 and 5 irons are shortened. 

  I haven't figured out if it's just me or there really is a difference but so far it seems to be consistent. Almost like the TMs are long off the tee but short on the approach. IDK. Yet. :-)

  The net effect will be the same whether players stocked up or not.  Buy more now less later, or buy less now more later, or buy a sleeve now and another sleeve when you need another one.  All works out to be the same.

  Which balls are you playing and comparing ?

  lonnie, Here's why I stocked up: 1) Often, when WGT issues a new product, there are glitches that take time to sort out. 2) I'll use all those balls anyway, so what's the harm?
