  460 more days to get the big driver.

   

  LOLs.

   

  LOL...I think it took me as long to get from level 85 to 93 as it did to get from level 1 to 85...

  FWIW... I'm at level 93 now...level  94 is 929,258 points....

   

  Yeah, the numbers get crazy...so damn discouraging for the Legends still in the 80's or lower.  They shouldn't have to wait another year or more for a club that was previously within reach.

  lvl 94 @ 929 258 p ???

  i'm lvl 81 @ only 228 000 pnts right now .. has anyone got the points needed between levels 82 - 90 ? level by level ?

  that comes as abit of a blow .. ah well, i'm fine with the Burners & will add the lvl 83 g20 irons to my inventory for the days that my trigger finger is abit off .. but considering the satisfaction that i have experienced with the Burners i'm allready salivating over the R11 irons ..

  but to wait that long for the top driver comes as a huge disappointment .. i've noticed that moving from the 275yd Rballz driver to the 280yd G20 driver is giving me an additional 10-15yds, so i'm guessing the R11s will add maybe another +-10yds on top of the G20 ?

  I don't have the exact numbers but it's close to 150,000 just to get from 93 to 94...I think it was about 125,000 between 92 & 93....

  I average about 2,500 points a day & am still 75,000 away from 94...

  it's still in the pro shop at l90....so folks should just snap it up while they can.

  regardless if WGT's move is good or bad.....it does seem a big hoo haa for an extra 2 yrds.....there ain't much difference to be honest.

  I don't need to buy any levels, thanks anyway.  I'm one of the lucky ones who were able to get the new driver at level 90.

  All my nickels are in a jar on the dresser, btw.

  It's so sad that WGT just can't get it right. The answer is right there. Keep the R11s at Lvl 90 but make it a "Legend" club. Most people can't even reach Legend, which will therefore make this club more deserving. It takes skill to reach Legend, as it takes many years for 929,258 points. Please don't be so cruel on us..

  Edit: It would make more sense to change the regular R11 to lvl 86 and make it a "Master" club.

  Having gone straight from the G20 to the R11s, bypassing the R11, I can't speak to the differences between the two Taylor Made drivers.  It's my understanding that the new one is a tad longer and a bit more forgiving.

  My beef is with WGT moving the goalposts based on some amorphous "feedback in the forums."

  Damn, looks like I'm out of nickels...

  very very simple, if WGT do what they say and make the new Taylor made driver to level 94, then world golf tour will lose my business........i will quit no question.........your call WGT??.....leave well alone or lose my money from your business.

  Dave from England who hates meddlers,

  leave well alone, i've worked hard to get to level 89 and my next purchace was that new driver from Taylor Made.........you *** it up for me and i'm out........PERIOD!!
