  That advertisement already reflects the drop in levels, it is normally at Lvl 101.

  As for communication from WGT, they don't respond to timelines, along with many other things.

  You just answered your own post . You are L91 and you have to be L96+ or higher to purchase the nike putters . Although its a limited time offer it works just the same as regular club purchases you have to qualify to make purchase .

  Seems you're not the only one to interpret it that way.

  According to this current promotion, you can get any Nike putter 5 levels earlier than usual. As I am level 92, I believe I qualify to purchase the NIKE Method 001 Putter M2 (L96+) but it still shows as "locked". Am I missing something?

   

   

  Hi awicked1,

  Thanks for the post. The club was lowered in the Pro Shop so players 5 levels lower could purchase it. The club you are referring to is normally available for a level 101 player.

  All the Best,

  I have to say I feel slightly cheated, as I have worked my nuts off to get to level 101 to buy this stuff, and now that I am in a position to buy it, u reduce the level.

  Somewhat cheapens the purchasing experience.

  Had u offered some discount to us level 100+ players, then I think that would have gone down a lot better.

  Nonetheless, I have purchased it, and proceeded to miss two very short putts in an 18 holer at Kiawah, shot 63, only to see myself some 7 shots behind my CC compatriots.

  So a complete waste of time it would appear. Could have done better putting with my grandfathers walking stick.

  Do yourself a favour & save $47.........i bought it thinking it would be great but its sh#te!!!

  I have gone back to my L70 Versa.....a much better putter & certainly more forgiving than the waste of money Nike!!!!

  I kept missing easy putts that my Versa would hole.

  You miss the ding on the Nike & it goes well wide.....more forgiveness...PFFT!!

  All i want to know is how i get get my money back from WGT for selling a pice of cr#p???

  Any ideas???

  The difference is subtle. The only way you're going to appreciate the new putter is by putting the same way you have been all along. Then you'll see the difference.  :-)

  Dont know why you rushed John you had the advantage in your corner . You could have waited to see if a better putter was coming as was mentioned in the other thread on the offer . Jim is smiling because you fell for his used car sales pitch and bit hook line and sinker .

  Subtle means hardly noticeable or of very little difference when compared too . The Nike gives you .2 in precision and balance . This is where the making the putts comes in at , and its not coming by much .

  Its a putter John not a magic wand . You may shave 1-2 strokes off your game and then thats only if you are decent at putting . Also since you just got it you have to still give yourself time to learn it . So off you go now its time to practice , practice and more practice . Maybe a week from now you`ll feel differently about it . :-)

  I bloody well hope so Lonnie.

  I'll be back - one week today.

  Hopefully not to wrap a $47 putter warmly around Jim's neck.

   

  I must point out I normally play the level 92 black Nike, which is nice and slow on the meter, my first two outings with this putter, I was using a yelloway- a lot quicker.

  He already had the putter, jerk. He's a big boy and mine was strictly personal experience being shared.
