  I am with you 100% for genuine TLs such as yourself.

  New competitor around the corner and WGT give every last one of you their biggest possible kick in the worst place they can.  

  Is someone at WGT the biggest investor some where else????????  It's completely and utterly the most arrogant, pig headed, short sighted and stupidest thing they could have done, and that's before Nike see they are now behind the single biggest discouragement to being a genuine player here, and the single biggest encouragement equipment wise to multi-accounting (cheating at all levels) with this crap also trickling down way far el rapido ..............

  How can any one stuff something so obvious up so huge?  

  Perhaps they should spend more than peanuts on the next Ideas Department CEO:

  

  Yep well done on arriving at TL by learning from real tees.  Now play for 3 hours a day every day, and in only 18 months we will stop making you go up against the genuinely best (and also the cheats) with 2nd best equipment by granting you, our dear not valued customer cash cow, the great privilege of entering our pro shop and spending $90 on a driver and irons..  Oh the genius of that business plan in a market place or not.

   

  EDIT: And before any heroes turn up with how they do it with hickory sticks sometimes that's really NOT the point is it:).

  it makes no sense !

  I accepted the r1 advantage that many had , but this is making it impossible.

  People will be screaming for cheat enginge to keep up with those new irons !!!

  well done WGT !!! What *** idiots !!!

  Not for me though rather find a new new place to call a hobby

  Hi siggi

  I bought the lvl 100 irons on the first day. Played with them for 2 days and now I am back playing with the lvl 97 irons again. Also noticed many of the topplayers still playing with the lvl 97 irons.

  My interest in that thinking aside it's perception that plays the biggest part, and if you are a L93 genuine TL L97 is daft anyway with the only route the levels system, which is long since flat out for the count by L97 anyway.  

  Once at L97 most I think realise just how good the L90 R11s were actual scoring wise, and that's nice as the Nikes.  Saying that to a L93 genuine TL gets a rich reaction though, and understandably so.  

  How a company can be so hell bent on peeing people off enough to leave is the bit I don't get.

  I bought 'em, used them a few rounds, figured out the 97's suit me much much better...gonna try 'em later with 3.0 meter lvl 48 Nike balls but to me if you can't compete with the lvl 100 nike, you couldn't compete with the lvl 97's before they came out ...JMO

  The R11's are great clubs.....downside is a fast meter. The L97 Nikes solve that, but once again getting from level 90 to level 97 is not going to happen overnight.

  Once again players are disadvantaged and feel aggrieved at not being able to purchase something when they want.

  Surely at TL, all clubs should be unlocked? Have the level system if the all mighty dollar is a must as well.

  I too do not understand the marketing direction - my advice is hire someone with an IQ of 50 - this will at least double the combined IQ of this department.

  Well IMO they stuffed that obvious route with the create your own red tee adventure to TL (less balls as so easy but guess they hoped would widen the appeal to badge seekers so maybe overall same amount balls being burned).  

  It's why I say that new tier could be something to aim for once a TL (set at an achievable level to most genuine real tee players, and would not upset red tee people....all as elsewhere).  Nothing against red tee players, just that it is a different comp to full length playing, and the new tier would allow the pro shop opened to those who most need it - full length tee players.  

  I do agree the L97s are a cut above the L90 R11s although actual score wise I doubt I saw a difference too often, but also backed myself with them as most do.

  Yep time for that New Ideas Department CEO to sling his hook for sure.

  Totally agree - again why have them count as ranked rounds....pure insanity. When anti-sandbagging measures were introduced, we saw an influx of paper legends. Well now we have toliet paper Tour Legends.

  Not sure on the new Tier yet for several reasons which I will not go into here, but agree in time one should be introduced BUT serious thought needs to go into it to make it work.
