So I understand that if it applies, I can’t switch between a Callaway and a Titleist. Or from a Callaway Chrome Soft X to a Callaway Chrome Soft. But I’m confusing myself in trying to figure out if you could switch from Chrome Soft X to Chrome Soft X with Triple Track.
Shilgy
My understanding, and it could be incorrect, is that if it is on the conforming ball list separately it is a different ball. Same as the Pro V1 white and yellow are separate iirc.
Halebopp
The triple tracks seem to be separate entries so you can't switch from a regular one to a triple track. But you can switch from a normal yellow Chrome Soft to a yellow Truvis as long as they're otherwise the same version.

Same brand and model. For example, if you star with a Titleist Pro V1, all the balls you put in play must be Pro V1's. No NXT's or Pro V1x's. No Nikes, Callaways, etc. Unless you are playing in higer level tournaments, you would probably never have to worry about it.

Thanks that is what I thought about it... A rule that is not to worry so much about but also a very unknown one as well.

Good catch. I would not have expected a color to warrant a separate entry but clearly it does.
