  ISH47:

  The people who are REALLY getting screwed in the pro shop are those who fall between level 90 and 96.. 

  Once you get the irons at level 90 and the SLDR driver at level 79 or 89.. Once you get the 3W at level 89 and the wedges in the 80's.. Once you get the Versa putter at level 70..

  There is absolutely NOTHING to upgrade until you get to 96 for a putter and driver, and 97 for a BB and Nike irons.. That's ridiculous.. 

  Why in the hell you don't leave the "limited edition" R1 permanently at level 93 is beyond me.. I've got credits and I'd like to spend some. But apparently you don't want to sell anything.. F**k it.

  I have to agree with this sentiment right here.  Granted I have only played WGT for a year (Exactly one year as of Tomorrow) it feels like it has been ages since I've been able to upgrade anything.  I updated my driver/irons at level 90 but aside from that It's been 10-20 levels since I've been able to upgrade anything worth having in my bag.

  My 3W is level 84, Wedges are levels 76-80, putter is level 72, and no I'm not spending 35 bucks for half a dot of more club.

  I missed the "deal" on the level 93 driver by half of a level and now I'm missing out on the "deal" on the putters by 3 levels, and there is still nothing to look forward to for upgrades until the level 98 Driver and level 100 Irons, 18-24 months from now by the time I reach that level.

  I managed to reach Champ tier with lower level equipment and I'd certainly spend some credits to see what I can do with the good stuff. Its unfortunate that it will take 2-3 years to get any of it.  Perhaps unlock some higher level stuff based on tier?

  Sounds like a win/win idea to me.

  Unlock "ALL" equipment to players at "Champion" tier.   It gives a substantial reward for getting there - maybe makes people work harder to get to Champ tier (much better than the 250 credits). WGT will get ball sales and activity as players work to get to Champ.

  Players get the reward of access to any equipment they want - and WGT get more equipment sales.

  Happy Hacking

  Maybe they put those putters at that level for a limited time only, like they do for some drivers in the past.

   I see only that reason 

  Or, they keep them at that level and are going to drop a new putter here soon and are just trying to get a few more purchases for the existing putters first?  ;-)

  I was right, i just see a news  from wgt  for that

  Get Nike Putters Early (Limited Time!)

  16 Oct 2015

  

  Right now, for a limited time only, get any Nike virtual putter 5 levels earlier on WGT! 

  This is your chance to upgrade to a top-performing putter, 5 levels sooner than when they regularly unlock in the Pro Shop.

  Nike virtual putters offer more accuracy, precision and a slower WGT swing meter, helping you sink more putts and lower your scores.

  This special promo is only here for a short time, so don't miss out!

  See Nike Putters

  WGT Tip: Use Level-Up Boosts or XP Boosts to level up in the game to take advantage of this special offer while it lasts.
