  WTF !! Get a grip wgt

  MAX IRONS are almost double the cost of other irons in the same/similar level range.Same with the max balls,yet one gives you the slowest possible meter speed and the other(irons) gives the fastest meter speed of all ! What are wgt trying to achieve?Pretty bad show wgt,especially with the world economy the way it is at present(greed can be the only explanation).For 3000cr i would expect to get irons that have a very slow meter and very long distances.As these new irons are obtainable at level 45,they are obviously aimed at lower tiered players,players who may not have great skill, yet you introduce them with the highest meter speed of all irons in the shop.Compare these new clubs to top of the range r11's(which are cheaper and out perform most if not all others)yet a level 45 player cannot purchase the r11's.Take a long hard look at yourself wgt !!. I for one,wont be buying anything else from the pro shop except maybe some srixons,or callaway balls.

  Whats's the point of a slow meter when it still jerks, about stop & start, they want to give us a smoother meter first, which i am sure they are in control of.  I've only played one ready go tournament and noticed how smooth the meter was on that, but i guess that's because you pay for it in credits. That's my 2 penneth.

  These irons will be accessible to higher level players too because no one will have to use their 100 yard wedge any more so this gives room for the 225 yard hybrid.  The biggest moan and a total money-spinner for WGT is the fact that these irons are too difficult to use with Nike balls (virtually un-playable), so the precision you gain is lost due to missing ding,  the only way to get the benefit is to spend $6 on a ball which is much more expensive and doesn't even last as long as the Nike's.  Is this the way forward???

  The most expensive pixels on the planet.

  5 dots of precision @ level 45........too funny.......

  So finally WGT figured out a way to get the higher level players to start buying lower level clubs again......thus starting the ball rolling all over again.

  Got to agree with Chris...................forget these clubs if you're not using the max ball.

  At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

  LOL. Remember when the argument for the cost used to be a dinner out? Guess that dinner has to be at one of NYC's finer establishments.   :-D

  I would personally like to ask all of you a favour. If anyone at anytime sees me rent or buy these irons, please shoot me on the spot until I'm dead. Then shoot me some more.

  LMAO. I'd like to try them with the Tour-SD I use out of curiosity with the meter speed but I'm not 450 rent credits curious. We need a free rental weekend-maybe over Thanksgiving weekend.  :-D

  Good luck with that YJ, I was the same "curious" about how they would be with Nike's....IMPOSSIBLE! Should have spent the $$ on a pack of nikes.

  Meter speed is adaptable but you ain't adapting in a round or 2. I used the i15s with the Tour-SD ball to make Legend and it took a while to get comfortable with the speed. Same thing when I went back to the SD ball with the R11s after using Callaways for a long time. Once you dial in the speed it becomes reflex. (Mind altering substances not recommended.)  :-)
