What piece of equipment do you want WGT to make?

  bunkers can be really annoying, in uneven lies balls that just roll in realy slowly never make it to the bottom of the bunker when they should

  maybe have a random draw bunker lie from 5% to 50% lie, might make things more interesting, some good lies some bad lies

  you could increase the spin on bunker shots to make the ball bite more on landing, on uneven lies with the big red upslopes the ball still runs when it lands and thats with a shot with built in elevation

  How about optional Shafts ? [ Grafalloy, True Temper, Aldila, etc... ]

  That would give us the ability to fine tune our favorite Clubs to fit our individual styles / preferences.

  WGTadmin2:

  Love you thoughts team WGT players

  - A french avatar ^^

  - One increment more for Nike putters, 10 20 40 60 100 instead of 10 20 50 100.

  - Explain to BB wood that it must go shorter when we reduce the strong of shot. (on tailwind).

  - A affordable WGT ball with 3.5 speed meter.

  I'm with the school that believes we don't need any better equipment ... if I'm not mistaken the last two Legend Cabo front 9 RG's featured a 24 winning them. Not that I was entered in either of them, I just looked at the leaderboards.They may have been from shorter tees and if they were it's understandable, but nine under is beginning to be no good any more to win any nine hole tourney. 

  Agree.  The scores being posted are insane these days.  7 under used to be a great round and would get you a decent return in a RG, today, as pointed out, you need 9 under to get your money back in most.  This is just silly.  No disrespect to those posting such good scores, they've put in the effort to become this good at the game, it's just kinda daft seeing these scores every day.

  If better clubs ever come along, as I'm sure they will, please make them very unforgiving and with fast meters.  This trend for longer, more precise clubs with more forgiveness and slower meters is insane.  Hitting the ball further should entail more risk, not less.  Missing the ding on a 230 yard iron shot should result in a bad shot, not a fairly poor one.

  Risk/reward is what this game needs.

  How about a meter that turns red if you use the last 10% and your club loses half it's forgiveness?  Obviously not on putts though, that would just be daft.

  Giving a shot everything you've got is more difficult in real life, it should be here too.  This way you have the option to play within yourself or let rip and have a greater chance of going off line.

  Risk/reward again.  My phrase of the day.

  How about a decent 3W? One that doesn't fly wherever it wants to, ding or not.

  I totally agree with this statement :

  On the other hand, I would like to see bunker play being more true to real life ... let us be able to put more spin on the ball out of the greenside bunkers. And we shouldn't be getting 30/40 and 40/50 bunker lies from balls that roll into the bunkers unless they're moving at about a hundred mph and bury themselves into an upslope. You usually only get lies like that in real life with shots that drop out of the sky into soft sand.

  Also whats needed is shot shaping , draw / fade, being able to shape a shot would make he game more real .and a lobby where can see whos on and wanting to play a game !!!

  also being able to change out irons for other clubs,,maybe someone would rather use a rescue club than a 3 iron ,,or another wedge for a pitching wedge ,or maybe 2 rescue clubs rather than a 3 & 4 iron ,, wgt could then make more rescue clubs to sell ..LOL

  and being able to pick your ball if run out of one playing ( other than tourny play ) I understand the rules there ,,but in all other play I don't think anyone cares what ball your useing

  and yes agree that green softness should be soft / medium / hard  each would make the ball react a little different & the green speed would be just a little different soft / tournament would be a little slower than say  medium / tournament & so on .

   

  really more clubs being made is not needed ,  other brands of balls/ or colors maybe ??
