  Jimbog1964:

  Do you envisage your average improving because of them Jim? Be interested:)

  Yes. I've already seen a difference in the distance to pin on GIRs. I'm at that point where 28s and 29s are all that move the average and if I played more ranked rounds I think these would get me to TL faster. AS games are a hoot, though.  :-)

  Gerald, I chalk that shot up to "funny wgt results"...and yeah, I had used almost full backspin, so I guess it came back to bite me in the ***!  All one can do is laugh and move on.

  Thanks, bud...yep, shot was pinged.  Guess I might use a little less backspin, dunno.  I think it was just a quirk in wgt programming...seems like that should've been a slam dunk, but who knows.

  And no, not going to play the Whistler tourney, even or uneven...hardly ever play that course except for the holes that show up on "best of" course...can't stand the cartoon courses for some reason.

  Take care, man, and have a happy xmas!

  Yeah MKG i was just joking about the backspin.....lol.

  WGT funny results mate for sure. I've seen just about all when comes to crazy bounces like that one.

  I just roll with the punches.... and move on like you said.

  Still i wonder why in the replay the pin is in. I have seen that a number of times. Even seen a ball hit pin when was removed.  

  Again just messing with you mate.... unlucky result for sure.

  Like you said the randomness of VEM is really the only thing that separates the top scores in each ready go.

  Sooo.... are those irons VEM proof??     lol......   don't look like it.....lol

  Sure they might be better clubs,,, but are they going to help me win more??

  I don't think so. I could be hitting the best i can.... and VEM jumps on...might as well quit and do something else. Not you turn.... maybe next time.

  Shame that the game has got to this point really. Would be nice if skill was the king. Limited programming...... and clubs that should have never been introduced in the first place has caused the issues we have now.

  Scores will be manipulated,,, because the equipment is way to good.

  Yes, been saying this for years

  New Nike Irons make R11's obsolete........nope, they are probably the worst irons you can buy unless you know how to use them.

  Stick with the R11's, much more predictable.

  Not knocking your opinion but you are wrong. The added spin and the slower meter work wonders for us that are older n slower and blind :)

  Shot a 30 right off rip using them irons :) .
