  every other tier has an appropriate driver...wgt in their infinite wisdom offers a legend ball ...at a bargain price 0f what buck 45  or so!i'm  interested in a longer driver not a ball that adds distance to each and every club....more unnecessary adjustments.we simply should be offered a driver!!    am i off base or do i have positive feedback on my justifications!!!!with another ball in play    a more expensive ball.........it seems that wgt has only their best interests [pocket money] than long-time devoted players,As time goes by i lose more and more interest in the game.sub-standard meter only adds fuel to the fire.

  Eurantia,  I'm with you 100 %.  I have purchased the LEGEND BALLS.  and you are correct.   For the Daily , HARD CORE players,  TOO expensive to  purchase twice a week.  Espeacially  when the meter skips on a drive and I lose 2 or 3 balls a week.   NO Sir,  Im not here to throw money  in the wind.     WGT  knows we have asked for a DRIVER since these changes took affect!     I do not see why we are being ignored in this matter?    

  Yes, yes we Legend's can still play the courses,  But I  feel I'm playing catch up after each drive i take. I dont like feeling as though we have to work twice as hard as every other TIER to score as well.

  Help get us a respectable Driver or Lower the Ridiculous LEGEND ball  Price? The Balls do not last long enough for that Price!

  Just my opinion on the Subject.   HAPPY GOLFING,  and Keep It On the Greens!

  its cheaper to buy a real golf ball.lol- if they maintain its not realistic to offer a legend driver with distances reaching 290-310 yards...the line of virtual balls sure don;t follow the realm of reality in the real world!the price of legend balls combined with the lack of  durability convinces me even more that the organization is more interested in money than the overall pleasure and welfare of the avid golfer...the lack of any  apparent progress of the meter and animations solidifies my point.in spite of these short-comings, make the best of it and entertaining golf for all!!!...................EURANTIA

  I would like to give all my support to this idea. This is something lots of people would buy and also something that would make the game more realistic, being a legend I would expect to be able to drive 290-300 yards like the long hitting real life pros.

  You can purchase Legend Golf balls using credits from completing surveys. They work.

  Thanks Richard,  Yes i do the surveys every week. Thank you WGT for having the Offers' Page............ It's not the Currency that is the issue!  Its throwing the money away, that bothers me. A waste of money for These balls.  They are not for me.

    I have a Theory on the meter  issues:   I believe  WGT  will not fix the meter stutters; for the fact:    we loose more balls that way.  And they sell more balls because of it.  It's a reliable money maker....  So, why would they wish to fix it??

  I think what Steve says we all agree with.  No matter if they are very cheap, a waste is still a waste and that is what these new balls are, we don't want to have to learn new distances for all our clubs, just give us one club, a driver that goes 20 to 30 yards longer and we are fine.  The new distances are okay, we just need something to give us the ability off the tee to make up half of that distance increase.

  I was playing a round with someone who had the legend balls, and i had the tour sd balls..There was hardly any difference in the distance in our drives.(we both had identical drivers). What a rip off if ever i saw one! ...And seing as i'm in a moaning mood, a friend of mine after reaching level 26 and having a few good rounds, has suddenly become a tour master!..try and play a round off master tees with a 230 yard driver and not very good irons etc etc.. He's gone from enjoying his golf to beeing so fustrated.  How can he play against someone in matchplay without getting thrashed each time?

  I've been playing the legend balls. I see no difference in distance with the driver or woods but notice an ability to club down somewhat with iron shots on the cusp. I don't need anymore distance, just more puttable greens.

  doods i dont get it - the majority of responders on this thread shoots 29-33 per 9 holes - thats more realistic than shooting 25-27 per 9 holes i would think? i really dont see the issue - its been more realistic now than before imo. granted you would lose some matchplays or whatever, the majority of the time you should win playing different tiered players - i win my fair share of cc tourneys - just cbfed playing matchplay myself. jmo tho.
