   Fact number 1.

  People shot those low scores not because of the long drives but because of the incredible precision on the approach.

  Fact 2 there is no way a person in real life can hit the ball with in 10-15 ft. of the hole every approach. Its just not possible.

  Last and final point for the 290 driver.

  I am a 6ft and 1 inch man weighing in at 200 pounds and in very good shape. I play golf only here and there and have a hack set of clubs. I can consistently hit the ball between 280 and 300 YRD and typically pretty strait.  There is no reason this game has us playing with avg drives of 284 ish and say that’s real life type drives. If they need to tweek something it is the ability of the irons to be so good.

  if WGT had done the smart thing and made a 290 yrd only avalible to L and TL and between LVL 80-90 somewere this would not even been a question.

  Thanks mate..... I've been waiting for somebody to say this. As someone playing with the top level G20, I would already be saving up for it....... if they'd done the smart thing !

  And taking 10/20 yards off each approach won't make that easier?

  Rented this club to see how it reacted, I thought if  you could adjust it, you could do it on the fly during a game but you have to pick what angle you want before you even pick the course or see which way the wind is going. Not what I expected not worth the money.
