  You can tell by clicking on the item (even though it says Locked) as if you were going to buy it. The level the club is unlocked will be there.

  It shows up anyway, after the name of the club the level required is in brackets.

  Looooong way to level 88 for me, more than twice the points I've got now at L78.

  The 280 yard R9 keeps up with the R11 and you can get that at 80. It is way better than the 275 yard R9.

  I had the 280 yard R9 and although it does 'keep up' with the R11 when you are into a fairly heavy wind, it can't compare to it with a still wind or downwind.  The R11 is very precise, you can fly it to an exact yardage without relying on the roll to get there.  It makes it so I feel I can take aim at a target on the fairway and put it there.  I had bought the R9 prior to the R11 coming into being and of course got the small trade in.  My opinion is that if you are at the level 80 and have the R9 (lower version) wait to get the R11, those 8 levels will take a while but are well worth the wait.

  Spot on. I bought the 275 R9 and was just about to buy the 280 when the R11 came out. I opted to wait until I leveled up to 88. Well worth the wait. You can CARRY the ball with full bs well over 300 yrds in low wind situations. That is all CARRY. No, it doesn't roll much at all after it lands but who cares. You can carry the bunker on #9 at BPB even with a very slight head wind and leave 140ish instead of being on the this side of the bunker hitting 170ish. That's just one of the MANY places the R11 will carry that no other driver on here will.

  The only thing I will add to this is... The L88 R11 is just Fantastic. With the L85 R11 3wood, it's a very good pairing. Great for the Legend Tees, Have to be very careful using the R11 on other tees, cause it can hit too long.

  Cheers

  Sweetie if the trade in value on your r9 is 200 cr , which is the same as mine then email wgt about it because it should be about 298 or there abouts. I did and they admitted they had a problem with the r9 resale amount and would give me the correct resale if I wanted to trade up.
