  WGT said that when they changed the way the averages are calculated (now only the best rounds at your current tier are counted), they also said you have to play a minimum number of rounds in each tier before advancing. They will not say how many rounds. That could explain people with a lower average who have not advanced yet.

  It's not that it's impossible to advance with free equipment, it's just very hard. With the good equipment (including balls) it is essentially a different game, because of the accuracy, spin and control - not just the distance. With the free clubs, even if you plan and execute your shot perfectly, it may not end up close to where you aimed. Then you have a long putt, and the free putter is not accurate either, no matter how perfectly you plan and execute the putt. It's a vicious circle.
