  You may well be correct.

  Fundamentally though creating clubs available at 3,000,000 (ish) XPs IMO is nuts (already getting that way anyway), unless they think of ways to get the pro shop open for enthusiastic players a bit early (all as elsewhere discussed in new tier threads).  I think just relying solely on the levels is long since broken by the high 90s, and L100 is already responsible for some saying stuff that.

   

  Anyway.Another possible contender for a new dvr ?

   copy pasted from another thread:

  Personally the introduction of something like  the 2015 Vapor Nike Flex (Tour type  one here I would think best assuming there is one, lol) would be doing it more for me.  Variable loft and spin might well fun enough to keep me amused anyway I would think.  

  The option for varying forgiveness would also be appreciated by many although that would be possibly controversial out here in the wild west, maybe:)

  Utilizing the FlexFlight system impacts launch angle, spin rate, forgiveness (increased in the “mid” setting) and workability (enhanced in the “low” setting).

  May prefer mine in red and black but who really cares, lol.

  Club idea:

  Yards: 305

  Trajectory: High

  Precision =5

  Forgiveness=5

  Spin=1.5

  Meter Speed=4.0

  Cost: 4,995c

  Before we go all in,what about making things tiers based?

  It is not really logic that the best , get to have better clubs ?

  I just had a chat with a friend about wgt, and he said what I think !

  that is not logical at all, the best keep getting better gear?

  especially when it comes to gambling our money in rg's, funny that he was shocked and I come to accept this ! 

  it is like playing poker with people with a 3 card better chance of getting a win! 

  now what fool would enter that game ! 

  Rant over for today, I have said more than enough.

  Won't happen as it stands

  BUT IF they created that new tier (as elsewhere discussed at length) it would open things up fairly for some real players at least, but resources seem aimed elsewhere.  Pity.

  Copied from the announcements:

  Coming Soon (in the next 30-90 days

   

  • New virtual goods from Nike, Adams, TaylorMade, Callaway and Cleveland

   

  Maybe a 235 yard Tight Lies hybrid to fit between the Bertha 3 woods and the 220/225 yard 3 irons?  

  I know it goes against the prevailing 4 wedge theology, but it makes just enough sense to at least consider how useful that particular club could be......

  New cleve wedges?  Used to say difficult to see how they could improve the HL ones, but maybe there is room to slow the meter these days.  Whatever they do hope it's more than just a new badge (with the price inc. lol)

  Adams - owned by TaylorMade still? Guess lower level gear?

  Most obvious gap between RL compared to this sim, in the higher levels, remains that variable attribute driver though IMO.  Also gives the most room to play with attribute wise without really making much difference to (legitimate) scores, just all more good fun potentially. 

  Bit off the L100 subject :)

  I figured that the next 100+ club would be a FW wood that doesn't land in the next zip code if you miss ding.

  I think at L100+ it would be wedges...but with what DR posted, it seems the door is open. I, for one two would love to see one of those Louisville drivers like the one in DR's picture...or a Wood Brothers  ;-}
