Covert driver

  Lyrac:

  The blurb says you get 3 drivers for the price of one. it doesnt say you can only equip one of the lofts per space in your bag meaning you would have to dump two other clubs to benefit from the 3 in 1 function. maybe im just stupid or maybe wgt should make that clear before anyone buys this thing

  Only thing covert is wgt hiding this fact from purchasers since i guess in real life you would take the one club and fiddle with something on the head to change the loft according to the shot you want to take as opposed to having 3 seprate drivers, or am i wrong?

  class act of mis representation wgt. keep your three in one con

     States plain as day that you have to carry more than one in the bag and drop other club.  :)

   

  WGT players typically equip just 1 driver for each round, based on the course and wind conditions, but you can also choose to carry more than one driver in your bag (in virtual or real golf). You just have to decide what other club you'll remove, for example some players choose to play with 2 drivers and only 1 three-wood or hybrid. It's all part of the game.

  I was surprised to read that the sound is a real recording of them hitting the club at a driving range.

  I figured that would have been the replacement for the "gift cards" in the elite collections....lol.....would have been as valued as the call Mr. WGT on the phone for $10,000,000.00 USD.

  Thats all true Teewade, its just the way i read it, you buy one club which has some mechanical jibjabs which means you can jibjabberise as you play and change heads like you were flighty as a butterfly on weed. the whole thing is hyped as a special club which it would be if you could do all of that.

  Ive since read here that golf dont play like that and now know my mistake, but i bet the shiney talk about the club fools other people who also dont know anything about the rules of golf, into buying the club just so they can jib and jab during the game. it doesnt specifically say you cannot do that with this club, at least not for thickies like me, but what it SEEMS to say is that anyone with a regliar driver dont have any option, whereas with this jibjabpokery one, you do. My stoopid i guess.

  wont get fooled again mind :-)

  The higher tier players seem to be getting forgotten more & more, never any new clubs for us, and removing gift cards shows what WGT think of us too.

  If you don't mind walking my dog as I cant take her to Peru, feed the fish too, but most importantly, my plants need constant feed, take care of my plants and the plants will take care of you....  I'm sure you could call Mr WGT off my phone for "normal" prices If we could get Pizza to spill his number.

  Timbo1984:

  Why would anyone want to carry 3 drivers?

  You dont ,....you choose 1 before you start your round using the best one you think would be most helpful for that particular course and still use your wood or Hybrid. Come on it cant be that complicated can it ?

  Not much to see for higher level players, but I do like the idea of changing your driver. I could see lowering the loft before you play a round in 30 MPH winds. 

  Would like to see irons and wedges next, but that may be months...or not at all. 

  Either way we learned somethin this update. Lyra is a blood sucker, among other things...
