  Chinajohn:

  They have to be careful with a new 3W, if it is too long it will just take away sales from the lower level drivers.

  I imagine that if they do introduce a new 3W it will be no more than 240yds but may have higher precision / forgiveness, maybe even a slower meter but only for the higher levels.

  i Get your point there John, just hoping for a 3 wd that lands a little softer than the G20, I know the 1 at Level 95 is supposedly good, but its meter is faster than rest of my clubs..Just wishing my friend.

  Why would a long 3 wood take away sales of low level drivers, if it is limited ot those above L95 or even L98?

  I would say that any new 3 wood would be at least level 100.

  I would not argue the point.  I would say they need to very careful here.  Bringing out clubs that may be a difference (even it's it's only perception of slightly only potentially once in a blue moon) at too high a level (remember XPs 2.25ish MILLION) could just deter players from bothering......A small number not bothering (ball sales) versus the few that can get a L100 club don't seem good business to me but..................

  The only obvious gap is the need to complement the Callaway driver with the X Hot 2 irons, or, better still, the Apex clubs at the top of the range.

  Like the recent Nike V Forged set, they could be introduced at around levels 90 and 100, commensurate with their features.

  What attributes for this game?

  I am struggling to see any room at all attribute wise that would actually matter.

  A bit further, I think the worst upgrade I ever did was going from the R11 to the R11s 3w...wasted credits IMO...got it for a few specific holes, and have never seen the added forgiveness.

  I doubt it. Not many gaps left in clubs after the recent additions.

  I have to agree.

  I think we have had enough of new clubs in the last month or two.  Time for Wgt start to focusing on new CC updates, from the list that they know of and is floating around for everybody to look at.

  Country Clubs are the Backbone of Wgt. Something that most of us belong to.  My thinking is...  look after the backbone and the rest just slots in
