  I doubt there's even 50 players who would happily risk 5k credits on one round. Anyway, great round Froggie.

  $50 R/Go would not surprize one little bit.

  yeah i was chuffed my-self to see it and played it 1st day also

  cannot believe their has only been 15 entrants so far...

  i know its 5k but their is alot of players out there who have ample cred's to play this

  been surprised but i honestly think it's because alot of players are getting used to their nike's before playing...hope this is the case anyhow, would like to see this as a permanent fixture

  Steve I think there are a few out there who are just looking at it from a risk v return perspective and deciding it's not for them. I include myself in that category.

  I know that if I play the same ready go a dozen times, I will be ahead in credits. Along the way however I may flunk a few, be average in a few, double up in a few and top 3 in some as well. The problem is I have no idea what will come first, success or failure. At 5,000 credits a go, a dozen entries would exhaust my credits, in the worst case scenario. Even finishing outside the top 15 would see my credit bank half in a very short period of time.

  The bottom line for me is I ain't risking it until I return to form that sees me with better odds than I have now.

   I was chatting with bulfrog when the new updates came out and we were talking about the new stuff.  He is like  "new balls, cool "  and in the bag they went.   new 50.00 readygo cool, I'm starting it now.    LOL I thought new balls, new update oh this isnt going to be good.  Then bulfrog says," shot a 57 , i like the balls." ( my jaw dropped)

  Bulfrog has such incredible natural ability, he worked out the new balls on the fly.  Me on the otherhand, 3 days and still trying to get the backspin sorted out on them.

  Goodluck to all you guys who give it a go

  Lol Don thanks for the kind words the Nike's for me aren't much different than the Callys I rarely used full BS with the Cally's so these play almost as true as the Cally's but just go a Tad farther.  I think the thing about the $50 RG is a lot of the top players like to attempt to play the RGs last minute with the hope of ninja'ing the leader and stealing the victory away.  That and there is a lot of fear that the tournament won't fill up before the end of the year and most don't want to tie up their credits for that long.  I look at it like who cares how long it takes to fill I have plenty of credits and it will pay out when it pays out.  Just my $.02 I enjoy the Christmas $50 special thanks Icon :).
