  I play some, but not nearly as much as before. I also don't spend money like I did. If I could get the R11Ss I would spend the money for the few additional yards. Since I can't, I'm pretty sure my participation will continue to fall off. 

  I was analyzing the putting pretty thoroughly, since I feel that is my weak point (the R11Ss probably wouldn't really help me, but I want them), but I have sort of ceased to think it's worth the trouble.

  I spent a lot of time analyzing winds, including writing my own golf physics engine. I had some really good and accurate numbers down. Then, a couple or so months ago they modified the wind so that it can drop off to zero or double. That's pretty severe gusting. Variation of that magnitude rarely happens to me on the real golf course. My evaluations in real life work in real life a large part of the time. My evaluations here, in the virtual world, are just so much wasted time, now.

  To put it another way: effort no longer pays off. I may as well flip coins. Well, that isn't my cup of tea. I want something where effort above the norm pays off. 

  Just sayin'.

   

  Away from the equipment I would admit that the very strong winds is the area I really need to look at next.  Will spend an afternoon soon...............Maybe I will work it out :))

   Dude this is a post for an actual concern in the game, not your personal whipping page. I think everybody has a right to a opinion on this game as for some of us, its some of our best entertainment and we also put money into it, and i for one am just wanting to get to the best level i can get to. This is fun, so your personal vendetta against another poster, put it up dude, dont need it.

   I for one appreciate everyones opinion regarding this matter, as i think something needs to be done about it. The game is fun, but when your a low level legend and competing with a level 90 TM or higher, and they get the advantages, something needs to be done.

  Players at those levels get the advantages because they earned their way by playing and taking the time to get to those levels and get the better clubs..Why should players that have tiered up via the current short cuts get special privileges to get what others have had to wait and work their butts off through the levels to get. I say no let the system remain as it is where it still takes effort and time for the rewards of better equipment, even for those who have taken short cuts to higher tiers.

  Yes G10's & GI-sd tour balls, and people are moaning now with all the choice on offer. Jeeezzz, imagine the complaints WGT would get If It was like It was when we all got bumped to legends

   Sir, i am not bitching, i am looking for a way for lower level legends, who got bumped at level 83 to have some inventory ...

   Level 83? When I came back last year, I had been bumped up to Legend, and had to start at LEVEL 30 ...

  It is what it is. I don't have the longest clubs either but I can still compete. There is more than one way to use the driver you already have. Try different spin positions esp with a tail wind.

  I agree with you Oldbayrunner. I have spent hours playing this game and I still don't have the biggest and best clubs either but have learned to use what I have. If we could get those clubs at level 50 Master then everyone would be good...  But then again there would be someone whining about something else.....
