  Get to Level 85 ish (certainly  88) and what worth buying in the Pro Shop until Level 94 when WGT will finally let me have the driver I want / NEED at Legend level.  ...........................................That's it..................WGT by all means respond!

  The R11 irons at 90.

  As for the driver I disagree that you NEED to have the R11s, yes would be very nice but look at your scores - I am sure the stataticians out there would agree with me.

  There are a few gaps that need filling amongst the WGT arsenal. It's a big gap between the G20's and the R11's

  The G20 driver you have in not nearly as good as the R11 driver that you will unlock soon. And the R11s in only slightly better than the R11. The main thing I see in your bag that should be replaced is the Rocket Ballz 3 wood. Even though it is rated at the same distance as both the G20 and R11 3 woods,due to the lower trajectory and lack of precision it is not as good as either one of them, And as the previous poster said you will unlock the R11 irons before long. The Bladez though very good leave much too large of a gap between the 3 iron and 3 wood. And the 3 ,4 and 5 irons don't have the great stopping power of the R11 irons.

  Thanks very much for your thoughts..........Looked at the comments for the R11 Driver in the Pro Shop and a couple seemed to think the R11 driver's lack of forgiveness and meter speed made it a bit of a lame duck when only a couple of yards longer than the G20.  I will reconsider for sure!

   

  Also interesting the talk about the 3 wood..................

   

  Thanks

  As said in my last post my thanks to all who have commented, views very much appreciated!

  I will say though that WGT need to up their game a little as regards the length of time top player sneed to wait to get what they are well able to take good advantage of.  Maybe the occasional one day sale etc.............something.............I want the R11s really........:))  If I do get the R11 it will be slightly annoying in that it is only a stop gap......bad taste in moouth dear WGT.......

  Those L79 Bladez are awesome, but get teh point on teh gap between wood and 3 iron.  I guess the reason I have been hanging onto my Rocket Ballz 3 wood is distance in to the wind.  The other woods although more accurate must surely suffer distance in to a wind because of the trajectory?  

  Anyway I do once again thanks everyone except WGT for making me wait too long to get the clubs that I will really be happy with.  They are going teh right way about stopping the fun and therefore revenue at this "Level Point", but that's a discussion for aother day.............

  I'm pretty much in the same position as you level wise Jim.

  Instead of the Rocketbldz I have the Burners, and I would 100% agree with the G20 3W, it's likely that's it the best 3W out there, hitting as far as any other with a slower meter and a high trajectory.

  Though I have never used the R11 drivers I can't see how they can be, as loosely quoted above, "much better" than the G20 which I use. Both Jim and I average above 290 on our driving stats and I have been wielding this club for sometime now, and I very rarely miss a fairway. I find when I play against people with the R11s and Level 81 Nikes which is what I use more often than not, they get perhaps 2-6 yards more distance on their drives. So although I'm eligible for the standard R11 right now, I won't change driver till I unlock the R11s...And even though I will do so somewhat begrudgingly.

  Otherwise you have a solid bag there Jim...Goodluck out there buddy!

  That was the exact impression I got of the R11 Driver after the free rental weekend. It hit it barely longer for the problem of the fast meter and little forgiveness.

  I kind of suspect that the R11s must soon be replaced with something along teh lines of the Nike Covert....real world comparisons exist so a gimme?

  Maybe WGT will put the old one on sale for lower level Legends instead of making them get bored with not being able to properly compete for 1,000,000 XP spaces............dream on ...........LOL
