  .everyone is very frustrated spending money on a site that cant keep us online ..plz fix this

  I really think that you should try to get your PC and internet looked at. To say that Everyone is frustrated is nonsense, we don't all have problems.

   

  We are all frustrated with little things.  I don't have many meter Probs...Just the Odd meter stopping dead when I'm having a great round... but that's another story...lol

  Swh's set-up is good... he gives me a good run on the course.

  Back to the OP's post...

  I'm not going to buy the new set of clubs, looks like they have a very fast meter, judging by what people are saying.

  Now if Wgt brings out the R11(s) Irons.... then I might just get a set, regardless of cost.

  This set of of virtual clubs has been asked for many a time too :)

  If your Internet is hooked up to a wireless router that could be part of the problem staying on. I was having lots of problems staying on yesterday so I unhooked my router and plugged my modem directly into the PC again. Problem solved.

  2 Things: Not everyone has a jerky meter. I play on a laptop and rarely have meter issues, especially after I started to use the rockmelt browser.

  If you don't want to spend the money, FINE! That is the beauty of capitalism! The market will determine the price. If people think it is to expensive they will not buy and the price will probably come down. The value of whether something is worth a given price is determined by each individual. I think $600 is to damn much for an iPhone, others don't but i don't whine about it...

  A max driver might be interesting. 290 distance but super quick meter and low forgiveness.

  I love the risk/reward idea behind this.  However, it needs a pink shaft, a bottle of vodka, or a left-handed swing to match the long, yet wild off the tee players, I've seen in the past 10 years or so.  After all this is supposed to be a realistic sim, right?

  A big ovation to the first player to recognize the three players I just identified.

  I see that no one has addressed the issue of explaining why the cost of these new max-irons are so high.Icon expertly dodged the issue,(is he a politician lol ?)and as the cost of these irons will be beyond 1000's of players reach,i think an explanation regarding the cost is a legitimate request.

  come on Icon,spill the beans...would love to know how wgt worked out such a price

  Its called they own the site, they determine the price! They do not have to tell you how they came up with the price. You as a consumer have one right! You either buy them or you don't. That is the most powerful statement you can make! As I pointed earlier. What you consider expensive others may not...If a majority do they will drop the price...Simple economic market principles......

  No explanation is needed.  If people seem willing to pay, you ask for even more.  Nothing wrong with that.  The idiocy lies in the people paying the high prices.  If you don't buy, the price comes down or the item is discontinued.  Ultimately, the choice lies in the hands, or wallets, of the end-users.
