Always appreciated, so thanks WGT and DB for the announcement.
I thought I would wait till it is nearly over before posting, as I did not want to be seen as negative.
Personally I tried one putter.....a lower level one with a slower meter, but tried it for 3 holes and knew it would be a step backwards, so I un-equipped it.
So my point is when a player gets into the mid-ninety levels (or some reasonably high level), there is very little to look forward to, and certainly is not an incentive to churn out a ridiculous amount of rounds to get to the next level a new club becomes available.
My point is you lose out on revenue - a player like me would have tried the Level 101 Nike Putter...and probably bought it........so it will take me a year, probably more, for me to be eligible. So I will simply not buy it.
I understand why equipment is level based, and this works from a business perspective in the lower levels but it actually backfires the higher a player goes.
That said, I also think rental clubs should only be available in practice mode, but that is not my point and open to debate (as is tier based clubs at higher tiers).
So when WGT crunch their numbers on sales over the weekend.....they should also do their analysis on dollars spent vs the number of players in tiers over 95 - perhaps they should factor in the lost sales for those players who had little or nothing to buy.
Also bear in mind, many players over this level do like new toys. I am not asking for more clubs, as simply altering the attributes will appeal to more players, but the availability could encourage more sales.
