I've read similar post in the past but haven't seen anything recent. So I'm re-requesting for those of us who would like Equipment availability to be determined by Tier, not level.
There needs to be some balance between WGT profits and reasonable fair play. Imo it's near impossible for someone to compete on equal terms unless you can use the very best equipment. Point being, someone using Level 100+ Drivers, Irons, and 96+ Putters will undoubtedly score better.
