    On the putting surface (greens) fir example: 
    does a Titelist ProV1 ball roll any different than a WGT starter ball?

    What I hear: No!

    It's the putter which makes a difference...!

    I believe that the only ball stat that applies on the green is the Meter speed.

    So, would you say that the starter ball is good for putting practice?

    No, because then your timing would be off from your tournament ball.

    Yes I guess you could but it will be a much faster meter if you normally use $$ or slow meter balls and then when you go back to your regular balls it might affect your timing for the ding.

    A couple things to note as well;

    1. There are 3 actual practice putting greens built into the game just in case you were "practice" putting by playing solo ranked rounds.
    2. Putts, and in fact any stroke taken ON the putting green do NOT count as hits on your ball so you won't be wasting "good" or $$$$ balls by practicing putting. You can hit a million putts with the same ball and the hit meter will not budge.
    3. BUT note that any time you hit the Mulligan button, even ON the green and putting, it will use up 1 hit of your ball
