  I know WGT is full of Legends, and some of these are shooting regular very low scores, so being a new legend that has just made the tier it would be great if i could learn any tips or tricks or advice that you can give me

  Hey Jessica

  It took me about 2 weeks to get used to the putting since that was the worse. It is a bit easier with the callaway ball.

  Congratulations Jessica!

  I knew this was coming, a pleasure to watch your progress.

  I was going to suggest maybe a longer driver because you will be hitting from the tips with all new angles, approach's, and longer shots into the greens. But after reviewing your stats with your level 58 G10 driver, you look very good right now so that does not seem an immediate concern.

  I agree with Bilko, your biggest challenge will be the putting, you will find yourself powering the ball past the hole and seeing the ball break after the hole instead of into the hole at first....it took me awhile to recalibrate my head to the faster green speeds.

  Well deserved and well earned!

  Thanks everybody for the advise, still using my G10 clubs with the standard callaway s balls at the moment and i seem to be doing alright :-)

  hitting long irons into the greens has made it alot more difficult, but it is all good fun

  I'll recommend the R11 driver when you get to that level. 5 yards more carry than anything else and the meter seems smoother for some reason.

  I moved up a couple weeks ago and it is for sure the putting that has hurt me. I'm lipping out more putts than ever. You'll be fine. The yardage issue solves itself pretty quickly.

  Congrats.

  Hi Jessica,

   

  Congratulations.

  The putting did take a few weeks to get used to. In the end i trusted the wgt guys and followed roughly a 1.35 to 1 ratio for putts. That is 20 ft putt hit 15ft etc and add a ft for every inch of up or down.

  It's the parties I find the hardest to adapt to. Every night us legends get invited to wild parties where bacardi and beer flow and hot girls like yourself dance and we talk of our wins against masters. It all gets just too much for a young man like myself.....

  Get The R11, you will find it behaves very much like the G10, only longer, and believe me, you will appreciate that from the Legend tees. Congrats and Hitemstr8!
