    I have an 8.5 degree TaylorMade Burner 2.0 in real life, and I would love to see anyone try and hit it off of the fairway. ;)

    Same with the R11. 

    I've got an 8.5 war bird and i can hit it off the deck, it can be done.

    Yeah I've even seen it in the first cut rough. I think its just due to them cutting corners in the animation aspect a tad.

    Hi Allskill

    I brought this very subject up in a previous thread.

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if it is possible for WGT to tweak this wonderful game a little whereby we could use a driver off the fairway where we have a good lie as it would be nice to reach those long par 5's in 2.

    At present when I play a driver off the fairway the ball usually just runs like a skimmed cat for 170-180 yards if  I am   lucky.

    Now I know we have a 3 wood in the bag but come on guys lets be a little adventurous.

    When I play this game for real I can hit my driver off the fairway and I am sure the Pro's out there can to.

    It gives us another weapon in the armoury to defeat those tuff windy courses!!

    Opinions would be appreciated. 

                       Thanks

                       Bjorn

    The answer must be yes. It can be done at Bali Hai.

    ......But then again watching them on TV some can do anything & everything with any club.

    Like this?

     

    Can WGT allow us to do that on the 17th at Kiawah?

    Also FYI, this isn't an "Announcement" or "News" so you should really post this in the appropriate forum, such as one of the sub forums under "Product Discussions"

    Who cares...?  There have been thousands of threads posted in the wrong category...Does it really matter where it's posted...?

    The answer is NO.....

    Regarding the drive off the fairway, I saw a pro hitting that shot just one time.

    You can but it has to be a punch shot.
