  id be happy with 222yd - 117yd rated irons, sacrifice a bit of distance and less spin for 3.5 meter.

  precision 4, 3 forgiveness, 3 spin and 3.5 meter

  From a post I made 3 june

   

  Recently I decided that it was time to upgrade my trusty old L59 Ping G20 irons ... 115-210 yds high traj, 3.5 precis, 2.5 forgiv, .5 shap, 3 spin & 4 Meter.
  I thought ... Im just going to splurge and buy the latest high level Vapor Nike irons.

  
  Only to find Im nowhere near the required level to unlock the  Level 100 nike vapor.
  So.... I look at the other possibilities ... I dont see any irons available to me (L95) that I currently consider to be long term value.

  
  This is what I require ...   120-225 yds irons

  
  With  ...Traj HIGH,  Prec 4,  Forgiv 3.5,  Spin 3.5-4,  Meter 3.5-4
  But irons like this, either 1. dont exist and 2. are not currently available to me at L95.

  
  So reviewing the possibilities I find that ...
  IF the nike L85 were 225yd irons.   I might give them a try.
  IF theTaylormade L 90 irons had a 3.5 meter.   I'd buy them.
  IF the Max L94 irons were 225 yds & 3.5 spin. I'd buy them and be willing to pay more for them.
  IF the nike L97 were available to me & had 3.5 forgiv & 3.5 Meter.  I'd buy them.
  IF the L100 nike vaps were available to me, I'd buy them as they are  ... ASAP.  lol.

  
  I dont see why WGT will not allow level & status to co-exist within an equipment opportunity.

  
  Why not let Legends buy any gear within say, 3 levels of their current level status & let Tour masters do the same? 

    This immediately solves my Irons problem/dilemma.

  
  Has WGT considered the possibility of charging a value added fee for adding .5 to aspects of club sets that currently do exist?

  
    Plus say ...    $10 to add per aspect .5 to any 2 club preformance aspects (any 2) (not to exceed 4.0) in any aspect, for a one time upgrade deal. ?

  Just a thought

    I have decided to deal with the High level Irons availability issue by staying with the irons I have... the old G20 ping 210yd with 4.0 meter. (which are no longer available) ... But ... there is the new equivalent .... the G25 ping irons. Same specs.

  I find that adding the 225 yd ping wood and going out with just 2 wedges is fairly effective. Compensating for the lack of an acceptable (to me) set of 225 yd irons.  

  And that by watching which 9 Im on ...swapping a club in or out to suit that 9 works out.

   I also found that the 115 club in my set doubles fairly well as a PW for the longer shots that my 50 & 77 W's dont cover.  By controling the power.
   But I dont use any of the  shot/meter % "Pals" wgt provides.

  Anyone could do the same now with the G25 pings & have the 4.0 meter.

  I suggest that everyone do this. While these irons are still available.(G25)

  Especially since most players will never play enough to reach the latest gear.

  I mean Im still always going to be at a disadvantage in play as long as I cant reach the "Latest premium" level equipment.

  Even though Ive played daily and fairly often hours a day for right at 4 years.

  Easily over 2,000 hrs played but still cant access the latest play gear.

   Im not buying new irons until I can.
