    I don't get it! Last summer or so, you ran a special where ANY LEVEL could purchase this driver, and I LET my husband get it, and I have to wait until level 98 to get it! He was like level 90! Don't you realize there are MANY players that would pay for this driver?! I would! 50 bucks and up of my own money!!!!!

    Um...any level?  I recall 93.

    However, it is nice to hear that you "let" your husband get it.  Lucky guy.

    first that was the BLACK R1 that was a limited edition
    in pro shop as well as in RL.

    second it wasn't "any" level, but rather Level 93 as mentioned above.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again,
    the differences are so small, that imho, getting
    the Bertha 3wood evens out those extra few yards you get w/ a 287yrd driver.

    The one you are referring to was the limited edition 93+ R1 . It actually cost  if memory is correct 500 credits more than the 98+ R1 . The only difference between the two is the color . I dont think that offer will ever be made again , after all it wouldnt be a limited edition if WGT kept running specials on it .

    Now if WGT were smart about it , they could make the level 98+ R1 available to lower level players at a cost increase for a period of time like 3-4 months . But then again there are plenty of good drivers at the lower levels that such a special really isnt needed . So guess you will just have to wait until level 98 to get it .

    But look at it on the bright side , it will give you something to play for and look forward too . It only took me a little over 3 years to make level 98 but I wasnt in any hurry . Just think of all the neat stuff that may be added to the game by the time you get there . Play well and have fun . :-)

    I'd probably buy it if I could, but I play against friends with the L93 R1 all the time and I don't see anything special about it.. On occasion I outdrive it with my white SLDR.

    I agree though, kudos to you for letting hubby have it.

    No doubt, Michael.  I bet she let's him pick his favorite popsicle once a month as well.

    As everyone has pointed out, it was level 93 and caused a feeding frenzy of players trying to level up.

    But IMHO there are a ton of great selection of drivers out there now, and the difference is negligible.

    But here is why I am confused, you are only at TM, why do you need a longer driver than you currently have?

    I'm not so sure he is a 'lucky guy'

    Isn't 'let' an expression one would use when referring to children or pets, as in "Johnny - please let the cat out"

    Nice to see you aren't suffering from the effects of Frat parties, Michael...

    LOL

    I like her use of the word "let"....Can you imagine the conversations in that house?

    "I'll "let" you do this, if you..."

    LOL

    +1

    I think we all know she doesn't need one.. especially at TM.

    It's probably a want thing.. Not a lot upgrades to look forward to once you reach the upper levels and for some, buying a new shiny toy every now and then keeps them interested in the game.
