  Bought a sleeve this morning and have got 69 holes out of one ball.

  Played the 18 hole NKF Challenge and shot a 54 54 -18 putts = 36 hits

  STA 18 Hole RG shot a 64  64-22 putts = 42 hits

  KIA 9 Hole RG shot a 31 31-12 putts = 19 hits

  STA 9 Hole RG shot a 30 30 - 11 putts = 19 hits

  STA 9 Hole RG ball ran out after Tee shot on 7 with 15 hits.

  For a total of 131 shots or 69 holes. Or damn close to it.

  I guess I need to do this with the Legend Z ball and see how many more hits the 1/2 dot of durability gives you.

  An old post.     If yours and the old numbers are correct............... think its a minus figure for that 1/2 dot.

  edit: apologies, missed the NFk round hits.

  Actually it would be 11 shots extra, which seems about right for half a dot.

  Actually it's 33 extra shots according to the chart in that post comparing it to the Legend Z which I used before buying the Nikes.

  I created the table in my blog with the help of others. I will add DarSum's finding to it.
