  I don't understand the complaints about tier specific clubs for Ready Go's, that much... surely if a Master/Tour Master is shooting low enough to be in the top 5 positions regularly, it won't be that long before they're legend? If they somehow deliberately stop at 62/63, they won't be taking advantage and winning all the credits, will they?

  What if they specialise in matchplay games and fleece everyone because their average never changes? The true essence of the sandbagger

  BIG FAT CON.totally agree.as clubs get more expensive surely the meter should get slower not faster.and as for the speed difference between R11driver and irons all i can say is what a complete joke. dont know if its just me but sometimes i think wgt just taking the pistols

  I still have the Burner 2.0's and see no change in them since I bought them.

  I do like the better spacing on the R11's in terms of distance, haven't bought them yet but probably will in the future.

  In terms of the 3 iron and hybrid being the same distance, that is like real golf.  A hybrid club is meant to hit from a poor lie and / or in place of a 3 iron.  There is never a reason to carry both of these, you should add another wedge.  In the WGT world you can't take out the 3 iron so your only option is to keep both or dump the hybrid for a new wedge.

  It is easy enough to just take 1 minute and look at a players profile and see if he is "better" than you his average represents. Just look at his match play stats. Easy to avoid sandbaggers.

  chrisironsbones:

  I havn't noticed the meter being any faster than the burners, i would say its the same, but one thing if you miss ding, they're much more forgiving, miss ding opposite to wind and you land close (but hang on, didn't the burners used to be like that too),. 

  Last few days with burners i was only managing -8 in congress ready go, yesterday first round with R11's, i came first!

  Sorry i will edit this, playing first round of the day this morning, i definitely feel the R11's meter is faster than the burners.

  A new day means a new meter speed...lol.

  This morning my meter speed with the Irons are slower than yesterday...lol.  Still getting use to the different yardages between sets (R11 vs Burners), I like the new yardages.

  I lost confidence dinging the Burners... dinging the R11's is great...

  Might be expensive to some and for me, a fast meter speed... but very nice clubs!!!

  Cheers
