  Dear Santa

  Please give us iron sets with high trajectory and spin 3 or better at arround level 30. It is a long way for all the talented newbies in my CC till they reach level 59. All that never ending rolling on the greens would end much earlier then, Mr Claus, and that would make a lot of kids very happy.

  Sorry to say but the low lvl guys are well catered for what ya want them shooting 55's instead of 59 out the gate ???? If they have so much "talent" they can survive with what wgt has now

  It's time wgt help out the guys in the legend + range in the 90 + lvls thats when the game comes to a halt on the gaining levels

  the equipment available for legends is fine.

   

  The issue is Tour Legends not all having the same equipment as that is the tier where the true competition occurs. Make that playing field more level

  And other than trajectory, the L32 R11's are about that this is: 3 in spin, L32 is very close to L30 and long enough (205-110) until they get to Master (or even Legend)

  Oh yes you can. There is a MAJOR difference in the level of play between the two tiers. It's not only the tees you play, but also the green speed and the MUCH higher level of play required to compete. One can compete with inferior equipment easily at the legend level. I was winning RGs with the L48 R1 and the RocketBladez. It becomes harder to compete (though it is possible as my results prove) at the TL level without the best equipment

  The OP is a L93 TL, and I do think he has a point playing in the higher level comps that he does.  This IMO is away from any actuality of how much difference is really made with drivers / whatever, and remembering the VUSO winner still prefers the L90 R11s.  All gets subjective anyway and the OPs opinion v mine and all different etc etc.  

  There are several suggestions as I said how this could be solved, and without giving the shop away.

  Have to say though that anyone thinks they can't compete lower down, including at Legend, then they need to take a look at the score boards.  They will soon see what people are competing very well with.

   The OP has a point, but if it's a pure not being able to compete point from the others well they need to look at those scoreboards. They will see they are very well catered for even for that level of competition within their tier.

  The OP, as a TL, occupies that last spot which WGT are still yet to service properly IMO.  This is all bearing in mind what he is playing too, and just here WGT could and should be doing more to encourage these type of genuine players along.

  Siggi lvl 93 and 1 year away from buying anything new !!! 

  pls wgt santa let me buy something new :) 

  I feel your pain, Siggi. I too just recently turned 93. It was one of the most beautiful levels in June 2013 when I first joined WGT, but now its one of the lonliest.

  At 92, we have the Taylor Made Ghost Spider putter. Also a sleeve of the over priced Nikes, part of the RZN line I believe. And the Max 3wood unlocked at 92 as well. Even though I decided to pass on all those items, it was nice to know that I at least had the option to purchase them if I had found them more appealing.

  At level 94, we have the Method putter. Maybe some others too, but that is the only one I know by heart. At level 95, we have the R11s 3wood. This is a club that I actually would like to purchase - I just hope the product line hasn't been discontinued by the time I get there - see Ping Rapture, Ping G20, Taylor Made ZSatin, Taylor Made Burners, etc. And at 96, we have both the Big Bertha Alpha and the Odyssey Versa. I'd like also like to buy the Bertha, assuming it is still around by the time I finally hit 96.

  But at level 93, a big, huge, deafening MEH. IIRC, the only club I unlocked was the Max hybrid wedge. Icon couldn't even pay me to put that club in my bag. There is literally no chance that I would ever let WGT hoodwink me out of 1000 credits for the   'privilege' of owning that club. Hopefully we'll be seeing some new product releases in the near future, otherwise its Sad Inigo is Sad as he slowly climbs the ladder towards 95 and 96.

  I still wish for an ability to semi-customize, or "tweak" clubs with credits.  Say, you could pay a few hundred credits for a half or full dot (or the current equivalent) improvement on something.  It could involve adjusting loft for slightly better spin, weighting alterations/balance for precision or forgiveness, or ergonomic handgrips for feel.  Obviously you'd only be able to allow it once per club(s) or else a rich player could essentially play with superclubs.

  I think we've all played clubs where we said, "This is perfect, if it just had slightly better...".
