Re: Missing Pieces

  To WGT,

  I know there have been various threads on various equipment wishes and wish lists etc... but for this thread I would like to touch on some missing pieces.

  You recently brought out a new driver, a Cobra lvl 5?? Starting on a new line or brand of clubs at only a low level. Why not one that unlocks at lvl 5, 75 and/or 90 as an example.

  I would like to start seeing some missing pieces that have been left out in current brands of clubs like a 3 wood in the Nike line or even a 3 wood in the Taylormade line that is equivalent to the Big Bertha at 245 yds. The R11S 3 wood does not cut it. Mabey something that hits 242 yds, a good middle ground from 240 and 245? And how about some Callaway Irons which have been brought up in other threads.

  Let's fill in some current brands of club lines prior to starting a brand new one which does nothing for the medium to higher level members.

  I am not a programmer so I can't speak from experience but I can't imagine it is that labour intensive to create these virtual clubs. I also can't fathom why it is such a hardship to let us know when new equipment, regardless of what it is will be available or upcoming?

  At any rate, this is for your consideration.

  New items are subject to contracts with the producers - some are included, some not.

  Furtheron, the brand and picture is only pixels to cover software settings for the characteristics. No real connection to the real clubs.

  That's business secrets. The Hold-your-Tongue Tribe from S.F. bay takes them very seriously.

  The precision and trajectory of the R11 makes it very easy to control. While on the other hand, the BB is a bit touchy and a mishit can be costly. IMO the R11 is a fantastic club to have in the bag.

  I was surprised by the cobra driver only at level 5 too.

  No worries,

  Having never played with the R11s but having played with many that have had it I found that the BB had a huge advantage on many Par 3's with the 245 yds and the ability to hold the greens but I am sure it is still worthy to have in the bag.

   

  Plus I notice that both of you have gone with the BB.   ;)

  I don't know how anyone else feels but I'd be tickled to death to have some WGT or generic brand clubs as long as they had the attributes I needed. Maybe some high end WGT clubs in the future?

  That's the beauty of having both in the bag, you can change them out for the course you are about to play. ;-)

  I have the Taylormade R11 and it says 227 if i use  it for a driver it will shoot 245

  and if i use it as a hybid it shoots up to 245 yards it was one of the one i first brought when i started and still have it today. I have given them as gifts and everyone i have given one too falls in love with them.  Myself I will give this a thumbs up wont sell it theres too many uses for it . unolittlelady
