  I need higher trajectory irons. I dont want to go through moving from Master to TM and have my average so high in the beginning that it would be harder to lower the average later. I feel if I have the better equipment earlier in my level it will be a tad bit easier to eventually move to legend. Plus I am one of those people that just like to have the best even if I am not the best.

  I go to College online and thats the second reason I would rather have the equipment sooner rather then later. I can do the vids while doing schooling. I cant play while doing schooling so as far as time management goes that is what works for me. I dont play for credits I usally only do CC tournies so trying to earn credits that way is not an option.

  For example, I played professional racquetball for 5 years . I started late in life playing and due to injuries I can no longer play at a competitive level. But even when I was an amateur player I had the top of the line equipment. Why ? Because having better equipment does make the difference. If it didn't then it wouldnt sell or even be manufactured if that was the case.

  Hope that answers your question. It also leans towards preference as well. I struggled when I went from TP to Master because i felt the graduation was premature. A few lucky rounds and I moved up even though my skill level was not there. Currently the way WGT has it set up is not fair for a player like me. When I move up to TM I want to make sure that I have the best possible equipment so that I dont have to work twice as hard later to get my average down. Multi accounters understand that concept that is why they create multi accounts. So that they can get the best equipment at the lowest level to sand bag in RGs and not have to pay for anything. Does it make sense? I am not one of those people but I am no dummy either.

  pj ... u got the right tools to take you all the way to Legend .. 

  i used the lvl59 G's until a few ranked rounds before hitting Legend ..

  you are lvl76 right now .. i'd only worry about irons when getting about one month out from reaching Legend ..

  as "MB" said, the only difference from M to TM is green speed & the move from M to TM is pretty seamless .. unlike the the move from TP to M which is a tough graduation ..

  if you really feel that you should up your iron set i would recommend waiting for lvl79 & get the Burner 2.0 irons .. the B's & lvl90 R11's have the highest trajectory of irons .. i never thought i'd use the fast mtr irons myself since i've always used the slower mtr Pings & figured the lvl83 G20's would do me fine at Legend Tier ..

  i have both the Burners & upper level G's in my inventory, but i almost exclusively use the Burners .. they certainly are the hardest irons to learn of 'em all IMO, but once you get used to the mtr, the only irons that can beat them are the R11's .. the B's, notwithstanding their level of difficulty, stand head & shoulders above the G's .. and they are excellent training for the better R11's when you eventually reach lvl90 ..

  the best round i could manufacture with the lvl83 G's were 30, but with the Burners i've managed to regularly shoot sub-30 rounds ..

  just a thought to ponder ..

  All good PJ:)

  You know the only jump to TM is green speeds, right?

  Sure shots will roll a yard or two longer, but since you're not changing clubs on the same approach shots...just minimal adjustments are needed.

  I just hate to see ya get frustrated with the top clubs and the say "why did I do this?"

  It's the Indian, not the arrow;)

  All true but there's still some holes you can't get ball to stop without high traj.Burners are game changers ( Thx Chris 4 putting me on to them ) Go with them,you won't regret it.. Andy

  Like seeing a destitute person on the street give you a nasty look for only giving him/her pocket change instead of a dollar bill.

  Yeah, I have seen one of those ''Destitute people'' begging on a street in my Town. I just happened to be passing him when he was packing up his spot and followed him down the street. Imagine my suprise when I saw him get into a brand new VW Golf GT and drive away. Kind of reminded me of WGT in a way. he he:~)) 

  Have a nice day and beware, there are some very unscrpulous people out there.

  I got a generic response to my submission to the lost credits concern.  The apology on the forum was more sincere than the response I received.

  Hello,
  
  I'm sorry for the change and for the lack of notice. We had to make a decision 
  to either remove LiveGamer videos from our site or increase the number of views 
  required for redemption as the economics were not working out for us at all. We 
  know players like the ability to earn free credits so we decided to keep the 
  service but increase the redemption ratio.
  
  Our apologies...but it was something that we needed to do in order to keep the 
  credit economy balanced.
  
  Thanks, WGT 

  No compensation for the lost credits.
