  I really wanna be educated here, wtf is a new BB 3wd at +500 credits over the old one, which I have already,  gonna do for me.

  What is their thinking and why should we buy it ???

  O    N    E    Y    E

  EDIT: I feel like a pet dog that sh1ts on the carpet once too often, and Mummy and Daddy rub my nose in it.

  Have to echo entirely as well as the rest a bit.  Lower trajectory, and so I wonder if it stops as well too???????? And even if chases as far after the 245 yard one has top spin applied?

  I can see another 5 yards coming in useful now and then, but at nearly 2000 credits I wonder if they keep missing a trick not having free rentals after new releases, or just get a sensible refund if buy on the rental going.  Heck even if they only did the latte it for a while after a new release......

  Looks to give but maybe also to take as much???...Hmmmmmmm

  Just after the Free Rental....lol.  The L89 BB is a pretty good club, but not much forgiveness.

  I would of liked to see the new L97 with more Foregivness and leave the distance the same.

  I have to say those figures impress me mightily.

  I made my mate buy it and he said he couldn't manipulate like his old R11, and I couldn't disagree. The top spin value on the level 89 is neglible, but if ur figures are corrrct then it is a must buy

  

  Why ain't u a member of a CC, u obviously a very good player.

  Terrible shame. It badly needed 5 precision. All the 4.5 precision 3wds spray all over the place too often when dinged.

  No doubt the .5 extra precision will come out in a another club at a later date, as will clubs with .5 extra spin, or .5 more forgiveness, or any other minor change that enables them to bring out the maximum amount of new clubs for us to buy.
