  Henric,

              If you need help choosing clubs just ask! There are many experienced players here who are willing to offer advice. I myself don't feel qualified to do so, but many others do and more than likely you will satisfied with the answers you'll get.

  That doesn't always work. Take meter speed. If your reflexes are good and you like a quicker meter and recommend that club to someone who isn't as adept, they won't be very happy. Let that same person rent the club and if they feel that they could adjust, they would most likely buy. You have to ask yourself if I rent the club then buy it, is it worth the price (cost + rental).

  I understand Tim, its more about WGT cutting us some slack when one wants to buy a club.Would be nice to test drive with the rental cost going toward the purchase. If you don't buy no rental refund is all we are asking.

  1st. I whant to thank you all for your awnsers to my post. :)

  2nd. I have bean thinking. What i meent in my post was that i whant to rent clubs in my Level range for FREE. Becouse like you guys sayed, rent price + buy out price = expensive. And then find out that i diden't like it after all.

  What i'm looking for and hoping is that WGT will fix/make  following.
   - A driving range that you/we can try out the clubs for FREE and ONLY in the driving range shot out. ( I hope it's called driving range, where you stand at same spot and just shooting your balls at a bucket 100, 150, 200, 250 yards away. And mayby also an putting green just for try out your putting-clubs aswell.

  What do you guys think about this ?

  I can tell you this. If i can try out clubs for FREE, i will most likley pick up my VISA card and buy some credit becous i like this game so mutch.

  My Best Regards / Henric

  ...they would lose the money from rentals, which for the record is overpriced IMO.

  Can you name 1 thing on here that is not overpriced ?

  Theoretically the clubs are reasonable, after all you can use them for as long as you want. Apart from that the answer is yes, overpriced pixels lol but do we love the game.........YES.

  I have said it before and will again, with very little competition you can dictate the prices rather than the supply and demand determining  prices

  I agree, some of the clubs are very good value.  The Z Satins were possibly the best value as far as shots saved per credit but the Ping wedges are pretty damn great value too.

  The Max balls on the other hand......  One sleeve for the price of three wedges?!?!  No thanks.

  And any vapour ball.  Why the hell would you pay 50 credits more for a trail?  If you play Callaway S balls that's 20% more than the normal ones.  It makes no sense unless you're winning tons of credits and looking for things to spend them on.

  Is there any way that i can try out an Driver or an Iron-set before i by it with WGT-Credits ?

  Best Regards / Henric

  Like they said you can rent them. And a few times a year there is a free rental weekend. And then you can try as many clubs as you want at no cost.

  ever notice that when any of us complain about expenses at WGT, its always a wgt deaf ear it falls on?....they never chime in on these discussions.....by the way, you can buy a WGT hat for the mere price of 12000 credits!!! $120.00 bucks for a friggin hat!!!
