    Tried out the R1 level 48 - pretty good, easy to ding, so it just re-confirms my desire to get to level 93 and the top level R1

    The versa putter was no different to my Nike, and I don't like 15 / 30 scales, so no way is it worth thinking about. But in 2 18 hole rounds I had a total of 26  one putts.

    Just wanted to remind everyone that this weekend is a free rental weekend!  Hope everyone enjoys trying out different clubs.

    Can you explain something to me....If this is a free club rental...then hy arent ALL clubs made avaiable to ALL level players instead of what is already available to u...like me..I've already tried just about every club in the pro shop...except the clubs above my level...it makes no sense to me...its not like we're gonna rent the clubs and run off with them...heck.I could live with only a 12 hr rental period of clubs above our level....doesnt that make better sense???

    You can rent any clubs at or below your current level.  Allowing a level 20 player to be able to rent a level 95 club would create chaos in the game play for credits.

    Which is truly a shame for Legend/TL players above L81, as any remaining equipment that will open up for us would provide little added benefit over any other L81+ Legend/TL. 

    Since it will take longer and longer (weeks and months) to reach the next level (let alone several levels between any new equipment), and with only ~6-7 pieces of equipment left above L81, I for one would LOVE to know if/what pieces would be worth drooling over, to be anxiously awaiting. For instance, the L85 R11 3W and L88 R11 driver might not be worth the purchase, and seeing as I spend my own money here, I would rather not even waste the rental cost (which could go for balls instead) given the low forgiveness on them.

    After the G20 driver purchase showing itself to be a very, very minimal benefit (some of the time) over my L48 R1, I have actually consigned myself to the rest of my WGT time being spent simply having fun with my friends, and waiting for levels 90 (R11 irons), 94 (R11s driver), 95 (R11s 3W), and finally, L98 to finally own the upgraded (and most awesome) R1. I see that as my path, and though it does not include those L85 and L88 clubs, I would love to have given them a shot... as a free rental. A true shame (IMO). 

    Otherwise, I am happy in my own little world with my small group of friends here on WGT.

    That's why you rent them in a way they can only be used in practice mode.

    I can understand not allowing say...a hack....being able to rent a 98 driver...but what about the ones from level 80 and being at least a master be able to rent these higher level clubs...specially since its few and far between the levels of us getting these clubs...and the lack of enough upper level equipment...in all reality...its just a free weekend for the lower tiers who havent reached level 80...its does nobody above that any good

    +1. I suggested this in a post ages ago - IMO rental clubs should only be allowed for use in practice mode. And bearing in mind that the lower tiers invariably have "prodigys" in their midst, this is yet more fuel in the ammunition of the multis.

    keeping in mind that from lvl 90 to 94 requires pretty much double the XP you have at lvl 90 ; if i remember correctly.. thaaaaat's right sports fans !! gotta love the logic behind all that ..

    i say WGT, give us another limited offer .. R11s for lvl90+ .. pink with white polka dots; i dunna care .. u just might get me to play more regular again ..
