    I think that one more higher upgrade level for some clubs would be great for us Legends. I know the R11s are very good, but why not give something extra to look forward to besides credits. Personally I think a 3 iron that went 230 would be great. Some of the best players like Tiger and Rory hit 230+ with their long irons. I think Nike would be a great brand to implement into the game. The VRs is a very popular driver as well as the VR forged irons. We already have the Nike Method Putter, so why not complete the family by adding a Driver, 3 wood, hybrid, and irons?

    Here's a chart of perfect distances for the clubs:

    Driver: 290

    3 Wood: 260

    Hybrid: 240

    3 iron: 230

    4 iron 215

    5 iron: 200

    6 iron: 185

    7 iron: 170

    8 iron: 155

    9 iron: 140

    PW: 125

    The reason I think extra yardage should be added to the 3 woods and long irons is being able to lay up without have to hit a 220 iron shot to the green. I also think it's time to add a realistic distance to the 3 wood and hybrids. I would like to hit 3 wood off the tee sometimes instead of hitting driver.

    I know I'll get a ton of negative criticism, but I just wanted to put out an idea.

    Someone just shot a 49, the leading score on Day 1 -- Day 1 -- of the Open qualifier is 53.... from the back tees on a new course ... and you want to make it easier?

    Every Legend doesn't shoot 50's consistently. There are only a select few. You have to remember, that 49 was on Pro Tees with moderate winds.

    And besides even if I had those clubs I bet I would still only shoot par . Some of us are just not that serious and have time to get that good.

    You might want to wait till you've actually used the R11s, before suggesting that we need something better.

    I stated at the top that it is something extra to look up to besides credits.

    Instead of $5 Nike balls, let's get some Nike clubs in here.
