When you get matched up with a player you can view their equipment and viewing the specs gives you an option to purchase. The +70 Nike Convert is quite distinctive in its red colour. Not sure if it has any resale value though.
There have been many changes over the course of five years.
Discontinued clubs and balls are no longer available for purchase. Previously, it was possible due to a glitch, but the company has since fixed it.
I don't know if it's due to copyright or contract issues, but even if the actual manufacturers have discontinued some of their products, I think it would be cool to keep selling their virtual versions here. Players would be happy to get the collectibles they want, and the company would make money - it's a win-win situation, isn't it, WGT?
