  - Titleist 718 AP2 Iron Set unlocks at [Level 0

  And the irons are Med/High flight so they won't be doing much stopping without an expensive, high priced ball. Funny how that works.

  Isn't that why you can get a Titleist ball, at 975 credits, at level 0 ? 

  Again, you wont need a high end ball from the forward tees!  I just played a sotw in our CC with clubs with lower specs and a mid range ball and got plenty of bite to give myself reasonable looks at birdie...  the irons are not back tee irons by no means but i am sure the new clubs will play well in the bag of a reasonably skilled player and they would have a monster driver!  If anything they will be shopping 4 good wedges

  My point exactly.  See how that works?  Mo money, mo money, mo money. LOL  ;-)

  It may not make much difference to those who play  on pc, but it was brought to my attention,  that with these clubs, being juiced up by the apparel program, the game could go from a chip and a putt, to a drive and a putt. Just might put a different perspective on clashs, just a thought, for those that might care. Even, the coin rooms are going to get really rough!

  You dont need a high end ball off the forward tees with these clubs... and it isnt generating money from multi acct or restart players who are funneling credits or gifting clubs... those people then amass huge credit bankrolls and never put any real money into the game... it can have an adverse effect in many ways...

  Do the  high level players really need anything else?

   

  Not really but it would be nice .  Although more distance is not really needed changes and modifications with certain clubs would be nice . It would be nice to have a hybrid club that goes 240 - 250 yards instead of the dead 225 yards as usual . Also why not have a p/w that`s actually 125 yards and can also hit flop shots with . Although a better ball can add the extra 5 yards on the p/w a better one is needed .

  Also higher tiered players like having choices too . Why is it that there is only 1 set of top iron clubs at L100+ and nothing above that ? Only 1 driver at L103+ and again nothing after that . After years of players complaining about this you would think WGT would eventually get their heads out of their behinds .

  Players who are still playing after L100 are dedicated and long term customers of the game . For that alone they should be included and not excluded from the game .

  Well said Lonnie,

  To me it has nothing to do with more stats on the clubs. The higher level clubs and players do not need more of anything. I would just like to have the choice between a high end lvl 103 Taylormade driver or a Titelist that looks different. It would also be nice to have another choice of high end irons like the lvl 100 Callaways, taylormade or Titelist would be nice.

  If I wanted to set my self up with an entire bag of a single brand with the same meter speed, let’s take taylormade for example, they don’t even have a high level 3 wood in taylormade at all. 

  Would be nice is all. I would spend the credits for different clubs without extra stats.

  End rant.

  Have not bought a club in ages, just satisfied with what I have. I would, however, jump all over a 3-wood if they brought out a highest level one with high trajectory instead of the med/high one that currently sits on top.

  Well said, Paul. I'm like you, I'd spend my credits on that. 

  But I'm guessing with Callaway owning as much of TopGolf as they do and Taylormade/Titleist not willing to put any more money in as an advertising option we won't see that happen.
