    Mmmmmmm quandry as im due anytime now to get level 92, i was going to get the max 3 wood to replace my level 89 B Bertha.

    The stats on the max are far better....other than .5 spin and 5 yards less yardage.

    Its the forgiveness which is the issue with BB as slightly off ding then hello rough, especially on those bottle necked fairways

    Now its approaching i aint sure whether to lose 1000 creds (after trade in that would be loss) and 5 yards for a more forgiving club with a slower meter.

    Any advice would be great folks

    Sorry, butI just don't see any worth in the Max range.

    I had the level 89 BB and it is fantastic. Now I have the level 97 BB I'm not sure it is much better.

    I remember that position. I had the BB-89. it was dandy. I went to the Max-92 for the meter and it was a sweet club. I liked it alot. I was using the SLDR driver and really needed the X-tra 5 yard advantage of the BB-89 and stayed with it. This is not of much help,I'm sure ;-}

    Dont do it . I had the 92 Max and gave it up for the 89+ Bertha . My reason was for more eagle opportunities . Did that work , no . I see that you use the 33+ Cally ball . That should help compensate for the forgiveness factor . So dont start chasing your tail and wasting credits .

    If anything upgrade your driver . Wait for the free rental there should be one right around the corner . I think it will be during the U.S. Open so wait until then . Then take the new R15 driver for a spin .Although by stats its only 3 yards more than what you have , I equate that to 10-15 yards more than your 79+ SLDR .

    Also you need to put some time in and play practice rounds to work on your game . For the most part you have good clubs now just learn how to really use them . Work on your game from tee to green to improve your scoring . Use the rock to practice with because if you can play a decent round with the rock , then you can play with any ball in the game.

    So dont waste your money or credits just yet . Also answer this question , how much will you use the club ? That is the most important thing and what are you trying to do ? Play a better game or play more tourneys . So costs and reasons are important when thinking about an upgrade .

     Hope this helps you out , and good luck with your game . :-) .

    P.S I will be upping driver when i can and will have a bit play when the rental comes, but i must admit i like the SLDR

    For what it's worth, as you like the SLDS during free rental try the lvl 89 version......know the stats are the same, but a WGT friend has had both and swears blindly the lvl 89 is slightly better.

    Cheers Thomas. Must admit ive not worked out why WGT did not even do half a dot improvement on stats, to try and sell the 89 version. I will have a go though, ty
