  A month and a half after the balls were introduced it comes to light they last half as long and cost more? I doubt that very seriously. Sure hasn't been the case for me.

  If this is actually happening, you must be experiencing some sort of bug. This also isn't the case for me (L61 ball), and I haven't heard this complaint from anyone else.

  I play the same ball as you and haven't noticed a difference at all.

  Strangely enough the first TP5 ball I used depleted at a rapid rate......14 holes and it was gone,......I could get approximately 25 holes out of the Nikes....we will see how the 2nd ball goes :)

  The month and a half since they were introduced has nothing to do with it when I only started using the TP5 ball this week due to using all my Nike balls up first.

  While Jim can certainly speak for himself, I believe his point about the month and a half has to do with the fact that if there were issues with the ball, then it's reasonable to expect that other players would have complained. In other words, the issue would have been mentioned by someone. 
  
  Simply put: you're not the only one playing that particular ball. So, yes, the month and a half is relevant to the conversation.

  Yes, it does. Robert correctly pointed out that if your assertion was true there would be countless threads complaining about it. Lawsuits would be threatened, boycotts called for, players quitting or vowing to not spend another cent, etc., etc. Yet nary a peep. You figure it out.  ;-)

  FWIW, if for some nuts reason this was actually happening for you, you probably should get WGT involved directly. Maybe you're stuck in the mulligan mode or something crazy like that. You'd think clearing everything and getting new files would resolve that but who knows.

  A single Nike ball lasted cca 60 holes, so does the TM. You either really struggle at math, or you are seriously mistaken. Feel you should contact Customer Services as that cant be right.

  I had it mentioned to me recently that using lots of spin with each shot would use the ball up quicker.....have you ever heard of this before ?
