  I see you are at level 79 now. You might want to consider waiting until you can get the level 81 g20 driver rated at 280 yds as opposed to the 275 yd rating of the level 49 R1. The level 81 g20 is also 800 credits less. I would use those saved credits to buy a 3rd wedge.

  Simply put,YES...I have a friend who plays the R1 and he always out drives the G20's,he plays a Cally ball and almost keeps up with my R11 with a Cally ,.I'm lucky if I'm 10 yards ahead of him,wish that driver was available a year ago when I was at level 48.......

  I second this, the level 81 G20 is a great driver that many legends use. The meter is slow so depends how your other ckubs are (I have been real lazy and didnt look). The upper level G20 and you will not need to upgrade or a long time.

  ps I too highly recommend 3 wedges

  I agree 100%. It's well worth waiting a couple of weeks.

  I would definately agree with this. I had the same dilemma a few weeks back, but I waited until I could get lvl81 G20. Well worth waiting for as most drives are around 290+ and regularly over 300. Also I just hit 400 with it, so hang on a little longer and get that one.

  I have to agree as well. The only thing that the R1 has over the Level 81 G20 driver is forgiveness and if you hit the ding or come close to the ding then forgiveness is a moot point. The 800 credit savings alone is worth the wait.

  Level 83 is 255315?...That is a little less than what it takes to go from level 97 to level 98. LOL
