  I'm genuinely curious. For those who are Level 100+, what are you lacking in equipment?
  
  With the current equipment options available, good players can shoot in the 50s. What is it that people are looking for that they don't already have available to them?

  Exactly.  Maybe they're hoping for Tiger vision equipment where rounds of 45 are in the mix.  Although that would conflict with those purists who think they shouldn't be adding anything to the game that's flashy.  They're kind of in a catch 22 there... ;)

  Every level has the equipment needed to advance so why add any new equipment period. The answer is variety is the spice of life. If you give a mediocre player good equipment they are still mediocre. It's the skill that's developed along the way that creates a good player.

  Wouldn't it be grand to wake up the morning after a downtime and find a box of Titleist  available for purchase?  $39.00 for a box of 12 might not be far fetched. A sleeve of 3 for $12.00 might find a willing market. Come on WGT, get out there and hustle Acustnet and Fila. They put ads on your site, perhaps they would would bite on the proper licensing deal. Maybe The Donald would be willing to stop off on his way to North Korea to set up a deal. (He might work for a commission but most likely would want some kind of a royalty payment.)

  My wish would be more balls to choose from at a reasonable price (300-400 credits) with a 4 meter speed, 4.5 to 5 distance, 3.5 spin, and 2.5 lifespan.   

  One can dream, right?  :-)

  I think WGT should sell used/found balls. They could sell "bags" of 24 for $10. Balls with half or better hits left on them....but they will never do anything that is reasonable in price. They don't give anything for a good price. How about the rip off of the "sell back" of clubs??? 

  I got 150 credits for becoming Tour Master and I'll get 200 at Legend. OH BOY! $2.00!!!!!!!!!!

  The request has to be realistic.  

  Nike 81's are  3.5 meter speed, 5 distance, 4 spin, and 2.5 lifespan for 550 cr

  i.e. about the same as requested for 300-400

  If they made those the entire planet would use them.

  I also think they've covered every conceivable combination of price/spin/distance/meter already.  The balls are also virtual -- i.e.  they could make a pink ball brand named Lollipop and it would perform exactly the same as a Nike or Cally.

  There already is a high level putter with a meter speed of 5 which is the same a both the beginner and starter putters. The level 98+ Odyssey Sabertooth has a meter speed of 5 and the level 101+ Taylor Made Red Spider's meter speed of 4.7 isn't much faster.

  Titleist? I would much rather find a box of Bridgestone B330 S's.To me they are just a better all around ball than the Titleist Pro v-1 series.
