    Well, the R11S irons do not appear to be available yet in real life, so it stands to reason that they are similarly not available in the Pro Shop.

    The R11S wood, however, is another thing altogether. It most certainly is available in real life, so I strongly encourage wgt to make it available in the Pro Shop and give the new R11S driver the company of its true brother.

    Quite right sir. It's no good driving 300 yards if your next club only goes around 245. (With Nikes) We need a 3 wood that is rated around 250.

    Personally, I feel 245 yards would be reasonable, followed by R11S irons at a later date, ranging from 230 yards to 125 yards, with the exact same meter speed as the driver. If only wgt had given this R11S driver at least a 3 yard increase! Sigh...

    No, no, no, no, no!  If they simply make the driver go 650 yards, you can ditch the 3w, irons and wedges, and then simply carry the driver and a putter.  Imagine how light the bag would be.  You can then carry extra balls, or maybe a few cans of something.

    Honestly, as if this game hasn't got ridiculous enough!

    Agree!  And when WGT gives the top guns the R11S complete set....look out for another new scoring record at the next "baby tee tournament" that will soon be coming:)

    Agreed!  Something needs to be done to bring back the realism in the game I originally played in 2009 with lesser equipment.  IDK what that might be, but adding the effects of uphill/downhill/sidehill lies would be a step in that direction IMO.

    As I said to you in another post:  when complaining about the game becoming too easy, you are suffering from tunnel vision, with only a fraction of wgt top players in sight, who by the way are rarely griping that their scores are too low. 

    Anyway, I have suggested before that all sub-60 average legends be placed in an upper legend tier, called Champion, with farther and harder hole locations, and championship greens. This is perfectly in keeping with the current evolutionary logic of the game.

    Lastly, do note that there is positively nothing stopping a player from using lesser, but still good and enjoyable equipment, if he or she fancies a tougher challenge on the course. 

    Be free; be happy, and let people be how they care to be.

    My suggestion was just trying to suggest an improvement if the powers that be decide to bring in better clubs. I recently stated in these forums that I hoped no better clubs were made available. But if they are then it would be nice to have logical gaps.
