   I waited to get level 93 finally to have a 287 y driver....missing about 4000 xp points ot reach that level and there is no more lvl93+ 287y drivers in the shop???????

   

  are you kidding me?

  or is it just a bug or a vision?

  why could the others palyers get a 287 driver at level 93 and i have to wait till lvl 98?

  Hey Maudit01, you're not seeing things, the driver was limited edition and was removed during the last update.

  2nd that, Maudit01!

  I'm only 8k away- been working toward it for months.

  I'm not waiting around another 2 years to step up in drivers.

  Looks like early retirement for me.

  I'll spend my money somewhere else.

  Thanks, WGT!

  No driver above lvl 89 will help your score. They are all very good. Your iron game, approach shots and putting will help your scoring.

  Ya wanna bet ? In reality, you aren't going to follow-thru on any of this....

  From what I understand by playing with folks who have a variety of high level drivers, is that they are all pretty good. The difference of 5 yds on a drive don't make that much difference...I agree with an earlier comment that the irons and putting is whats gonna make the difference.

  The last time I perceived a driver actually making a difference to my score wise was the L89 (? at the time) R11.  People would not even look at that one now (it got moved to L84 last i looked and long since outclassed anyway).  

  Way the game has gone WGT probbaly should just have an R1 type driver at L93 permanently, but many found it no game changer.  Why they do not just put one at L93 all the time looks a bit odd too as it would solve the last possible complaint, and they would still flog the other ones I would think.

  "Ya wanna bet ? In reality, you aren't going to follow-thru on any of this...."

  Yeah, HoneyPot, you're probably right.

  I'll keep playing and wait for another driver to come along.

  As for the iron play helping your game.... what do you all think the purpose of a longer driver is? Being able to hit a 5i instead of a 4i.

  If being 5-10 yds further down the fairway isn't an advantage, I challenge you to play a round and take one extra club on every approach shot and just hit it a little softer. See how that affects your score.

  I think the biggest complaint is that from this level, there's really nothing (equipment-wise) to work toward for several levels and we know how long it takes to move up. Quite a disincentive to play a lot (i.e. buy balls). Seems counterproductive for a company to not entice it's customers to spend money on it's products.

  I heard a rumor that during next update, WGT going to provide scantily clad cheerleaders, like the NFL has...nothing like some perky chick with pom poms to help us forget about those disconnects and myriad other glitches.

  I've just gone from Lvl 94 to Lvl 95 and for what??.......there's nothing in the pro shop for this level, absolutely ZIPPO....Nada.....Zilch!!

  Only another 200,000 XP to Lvl 96 and for what....Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 9.0 Driver (Fubuki shaft)........you can bash that where he sun don't shine WGT as I already have what was Lvl 93 but is now Lvl 98 TaylorMade R1 Super TP 8.0 Black Driver (OBAN Shaft).

  Next Lvl is 97 / 100 for nothing that really interests me anyway other than an Iron change perhaps and that's only because I have the credits to spend otherwise I wouldn't as there's no great performance increase.

  WooHoo!!   WGT really look after you in the upper 90 levels......great job WGT!
