I shall address some of the concerns that have been expressed in the
above posts. For one thing, I do
not believe for a second that wgt is on the wrong path. The fact that the new top performing R11
irons offer but a small advantage over the similarly top performing Burner 2.0
irons does not mean that we, as players, are being milked, but reflect the fact
that, even in real golf, improvements in equipment upgrades are usually subtle
and attract only the most demanding players, who are willing to pay big money for
those subtle improvements. Are these new
irons too good, leading to unrealistic scores? Truth be told, ever since we started getting
into sub-60 averages with leading legends (the most notable ones like dansamcam
and bolloxinbruges outshining everyone with a staggering 56.xx average), we
have entered the world of fantasy golf.
For those who want realism and be on the level with PGA tour players,
they are free to downgrade their equipment or stick with moderately good
clubs. This is definitely a valid option. For example, a player could settle for the
lesser R11 set of clubs and do his or her best in the upper tiers, even
legend. Anyway, no matter what a player
chooses, the golf experience remains a stimulating challenge that will yield
great scores if and only if this player is skilled and focused to a high
degree.
All the best!
