    If I can get the software on my fiancée's computer to allow me to stream, I'd be happy to. Cannot on mine since it is a company laptop that I use to do a lot of work from home. That's the only reason I have not streamed yet

    Can't say that I am surprised

    DrSlick:
    So, if you are telling me that a 287 driver and L97 nikes don't give me a slight advantage (perhaps 1-3 strokes per 18 holes) than the R11s and my cally xhot and/or sldr you don't understand this game very well. 

    Club preferences do get v personal, but looking at Legend RGs only for now by L90 you are long since armed to the teeth to win them.  By L97 you will probably long since be a TL so make the most of where you are now I would say.

    I do think this is yet again another case for that new tier though.  People who can hit TL by playing of real tees should get the pro shop open a little early.  Loads on it but would be something for everything as well as anti bagging intentionally.  If there is an issue it's TLs in RGs at say L93 ish who may be new TLs, and not having the pro shop open for what 1year just looks bad business IMO.  Yep that new tier would be something to aim for as much as anything, and need not affect red tee TLs as they can spend all day competing for whatever low average is the target...

    New issue driver wise I think we are overdue a hl variable spin (maybe even loft) one.  Hope they don't introduce it at L136 so only yoban can have it.  In all seriousness though I don't see how they can continue with the Levels system post what they are already really.  I get the carrot, but there is a limit to how far they can go before they just annoy people with the current system. 

    Anyway thread with a couple of potential new drivers?

    whatever. My scores and earnings speak for themselves. Perhaps you should learn something from the tips I have given here and your scores will also improve

    One tip for you... work on your short game. As a TL, your scrambling is AWFUL. That is what is keeping you from competing

    Why?

    Too bad. They made their collective beds, let them sleep in them. And if they happen to be contributing to TL RGs because they got someplace too quickly or under false pretenses, tough.

    Done so much in other threads but hitting TL at say L93, and then say another 100RRs (real tees / conditions) you get the pro shop open IF you get that new tier.  In that new tier you also get properly run stats, and no point in that new tier unless they do it properly from the off IMO. And if you only play red tees won't affect you etc etc..

    I thinks that's sensible.  What I do not think is sustainable is bringing in new blood, and getting enough to hang around from L93 to L100.

     Fine once you are there, but hitting TL at L93 as a genuine player, not the red tee or Beth F9 kid is frustrating when you see just how many months of XPs is then involved, and that's if you play loads. Could be years for many, and no one (usually) is going to play more to chew through 1 million XPs quicker.

     Well that's then a business decision in the end, and my vote is too seriously reconsider the Levels system when they do that new tier..........

    Focus on it comes only with that new tier, and not just giving things away.    Enough on it though as they (WGT) are more busy with how many passes they can flog to any one they can find who thinks the CC Event is worth looking at.

    My scrambling is pretty close to perfect !

    But thank you for your help!!

    When I land in the sand, my avg goes up by0.001

    I was not good at it as a pro ! 

    When I land in the rough , I get furious when I don't land my pitch as a birdie

    But my avg goes up buy 0.10 

    when I was legend I was happy with making par !

    Now I want to make a birdie from any spot with a punch and pitch , flop.

    What about you , ? 

    oh no I guess you don't show others your talent ! 

    Easy to teach when you never play others ! 

     

    Your scores would look better on twitch ! 

     

     

    . My scores and earnings speak for themselves. Perhaps you should learn something from the tips I have given here and your scores will also improve

    One tip for you... work on your short game. As a TL, your scrambling is AWFUL. That is what is keeping you from competing

     

    play me on twitch for a 1000 credits than you can tell how good you are

    I'll download the software within the next week or so and we can play a twitch match for a cool thousand credits. I'll let you know when it is installed and I have played a couple of test rounds. If everything goes well with the tests, we'll play.

     

    Which course would you prefer?

     

    PS, I usually dont play with others because I am too busy playing in RGs. I'm here to compete, not for friends. This isn't facebook

    tell me Einstein,

     

    Why would I WASTE credits on balls with alt shot games when I have no chance to win anything? One gets NOTHING out of that. I'm not here to donate $$ to WGT. If I feel like spending money, I'll increase my investment in Mannkind where i have a fair chance of seeing return on my money

     

    Seriously, someone who has earnings of less than $100 in 2 years should not be lecturing people who have earned more than 400,000 credits playing this game
