derekortt:You can compete just fine as a TL with the SD ball.
Fine but how many are doing that in RGs? Any time I look at leaderboards I don't see it.
derekortt: I was contending and winning RGs as a TM with the L59 G20, the L48 R1 and the SD
Well TM was a long time ago and I never played a RG until well into Legend, just happy banging round and never thought to try having landed here from Mars, but seems reasonable. The point was fun though, not what the ball can do or not. If your fun was doing it with that great. The L59s are capable Legend irons easily and especially with that L48 R1, and so with easily capable of nuking most TM rounds I would think with just about any ball if someone knows what they are doing a little / good aptitude.
I think when considering all this though it's important to remember that people who play RGs , well more than twice anyway, are better players. Not saying people who do not play them are any less good because of that, but you get the picture.
Here you need to bear in mind I was not answering you, rather I was only answering the OP.
No offense to the OP but he is going to be struggling in RG standard as it stands, and so below what you were doing. Can all change easy enough but that's as it stands IMO.
Like I say also my point was about fun and bear in mind I was not answering you but rather the OP, having looked at his play quickly.
Fun is also subjective.......as said....It's for the OP to look at the differing opinions, and now decide. Just because you or others did v well with that ball does not follow that others can or can't, but my point was about fun only anyway with only the OPs game in mind (as say subjective that fun part).
