  i am quite shocked that wgt would bring our a club and make it level 98. i play everyday for a few hours and i will still be a few months away from buying it

  just wanna say thanks for giving level 98 ers an unfair advantage, i play on wgtls and majority of tl's have this new driver so notg only are they better players but also get a shorter approach

  just saying

  cheers neil

  Depending on how deep you are into level 96, you might be a year away. LOL

  I agree with you, to release a 2 nice new drivers and make both of them completely UN-optainable to the vast majority of players is bizarre.

  I'm sure the multi's all loved the Level 48 r1 gift though.

  There is not enough difference between the R11s and the new R1 for the cost, I out drive a lot of player's that have the new R1 with my R11s.

  Don't worry about the R1 until you get to that Level... I agree,  the R11(s) is still a great club.

  There are great clubs to use in all Levels and Tiers....  Just learn how to use em for your Advantage :)

  outdriving the r1, very unlikely, not saying the r11 is not a good driver but being outdriven by 10 15 yrds most drives makes life alot more difficult against v good players, still a disadvantage in my eyes

  That's wrong....  I get outdriven some time, maybe most of the time....lol.

  Sart to use different spins on the ball...  might get you extra distance...  or if you get to know the fairways...  learn to where to bounce the ball...  if you a hit a downslope, that could be an extra 30+ yrds.

  roger i appreciate your comments but i've been playing this game for a while now and i wasn't after driving techniques. this was purely to state the disadvantage that i'm seeing every day in games played

  Now you want this club in lvl 96 - wouldn't that be an unfair advantage against me (level 95), or against those of level 90 or 80 or such?

  OIC - no limitations at all - free clubs for ev1 - that's your goal?

  Wouldn't that be unfair against those having achieved such high level?

  It's not what you have, it's how you use it...
