  Where is it? I've been playing on and off more on lately. I get enough credits to buy it and it's not available. I'm level 94 but level 98 will take me until I'm actually 98 years old. Before you could pay an extra 5 dollars and get the same qualities as the level 98 R1.

  Limited Edition.  For now it's gone.  It  may be back for a bit again, but no promises.

  What could possibly be a sane reason for limiting access to this club? No other club has limited access that I can remember on here.

  Marketing - we all admired this clever move.

  500 credits more for the low-level version, limited time. Not only would they sell a lot with extra revenue, furtheron quite a few would play their a$$es off to get up to the required level, using a lot of precious balls.

  Taylormade put out the Black R1 as a limited edition driver last year.  WGT simply followed suit.

  I'm getting 305 to 335 on SA in this month's No Wind tournament with the R1.

  I just played another round so here are the drive distances from each hole I hit the R1 from the Tee on.

  Note: Nike L 85+, 20XI-X, RZN vapor ball, no top or back spin was used on any tee shot. All but 1 drive landed, ran, and ended in the fairway. Legend tees. Carry (in the air) is generally 180 - 185 yards with no spin.

  #1 Ding - 314 yards

  #2 Ding - 323 yards

  #3 Ding - 331 yards

  #4 Ding - 326 yards

  #5 Ding - 314 yards

  #6 - 313 yards (close to ding)

  #7 - 302 yards (Ball landed on an upgrade, and close to ding.)

  #9 Ding - 312 (close to ding)

  #10 - 307 (close to ding)

  #12 - 315 (late ding)

  #13 - 331 (close to ding. Ball ran into rough near end of roll out )

  #14 - 312  (close to ding)

  #15 - 316 (close to ding) 

  #16 - 316  (late ding)

  #17 Ding - 315

  #18 - 314 (close to ding) 

  Average drive distance - 316.3 yards. and 94% of fairways hit. Score: 61
