Changing balls may not be the answer. They say that this one flies straighter than anything currently being used. If this is the case, I think scores will actually be lower, simply because pros dont have a problem going with a 5 instead of a 7. Sure, there's longer flight time for the ball to be off course, but if it's flying straighter, then they'll just aim right at it without too much worry.

I personally like it when the players have to make shots and curve the balls.
