  Are they collection only :) Bit far for me to come.

  Haha yes mate, bit far for me to ship! But if you do come and collect them I'll make it worth your while and take you out to Bethpage. We'll see if we can play all 5 courses in 2 days like I've done once before :)

  DonCaron, these are the specs for the Nike RZN platinum Level 90 that I've been using.  I appreciate the fact that this is a clone for same price, but I'm level 91 and don't appreciate having to work my way up again to level 95 to buy the equivalent ball I've been buying for the last two years.  That will take me at least a year to do and if that's the case may call it quits when my supply of Nike balls are gone.  I feel the equivalent Taylormade should be able to be had at the same Level 90 as the Nike's were.

   

  suggest you take a look at the lv81 ball. not much different from what you play now and even cheaper. it's the same specs and price as it was when it had the Nike logo on it

   

  I was not playing well with the TP5 Balls, so I tried the TP5X and they were perfect.

  That's my ball Now.

  Wait, this was the thing we were supposed to be excited about? That had the mods so excited they were about to vomit? "We're raising the price on premium golf balls." That's all this amounts to in the end. There's no meaningful difference in performance between the Titleist balls and the top Nikes, so it's just more money for the same product, unless you just really get excited about the brand name on your fake golf ball.

  The corporate doublespeak from this company is constant and exhausting. Trying to sell the VUSO this year as something exciting was one thing. But this is something else altogether. I love playing this game, but this company is unmitigated trash.

  Join wgt, most realistic game on the net!  Lots of fun, and entertainment, lots to play, match play, a/s, tourneys, ctth, blitzs, target challenges, play pc, try mobile, coin games, turf wars, play often, play alot.  Level up to get better equipment, to get better, so you can tier up, play tougher courses, wow.  Get to the 90s level, then your done!  Nothing more to look forward to, they got your money, now work on the newer people.  Telling the upper tiers, we don't care about you? Mods getting upset stomach, cuz still nothing for us to look, and work forward to?  We have 2 more days to see if there will be anything else that would be " big and exciting" introduced! (Fingers crossed) !

  Anyone that was surprised that WGT did what they did with the ball's really hasn't a clue. But past all that yes the only one's going to use these are the guy's that win all the credit's in all the WGT tourney's. Well I sick of losing when I shot  -8 and lose to one of the same group of Champions with the ridiculous average's 51 - 52ish  answer to this is anyone with an average lower than just for example say 54 and lower should be put up to the  TOUR CHAMPION.  I know all about the only one there and nice thing to do but these player's need there own title and credit Tourneys just for them and give true Champions have a chance. I say take a vote to see if that's what more than myself would like to see. Thanks

  FWIW, the majority of those are because when they turned Champion they avoided anything they couldn't shoot 26 on until their average saturated so to protect that number. It's worthless and usually indicates an average Champion that got there off red tees.

  It's all about the money, you know that unfortunately.

  tbh I find it hard to comprehend  how players have these sub 56 averages, as Jim says they must have manufactured it.

  I play OK, but I shoot sub 30 off the tips occasionally, not all the time, so therefore my average is a truly representative number of 64.

  My honesty is probably my downfall, but I truly detest easy tee competitions.

  I think alot of Champions would love to see another tier open up!  I don't believe that wgt, looked far enough into the future when they created this game.  If I recall, from past threads, it was ages, for them to open the champion tier. I play mobile, and in the coin games, some of the coin rooms are listed for an apparel cap, at tour champion, so it may be on its way. My question here is, someone is shooting an 8 under par, and losing to someone who has an avg. 51 -52ish, where is the this wrong?  OK, I see your point about another tier bracket, and  you say that they should be moved up, so that a "true champion" has a chance?  Shooting a 51, 52, may have been achieved from red tees, or not, but they are still shooting 9 or 10 under, or better, to win!  Where or how is this wrong?

  While there’s no doubt that many are manufactured, I have no problem believing some are legitimate. They simply play a lot of rounds, are very knowledgeable about the game, and are very skilled at it. Factor in a saturated average, and I have no problem seeing a sub 56 average as legitimate. 

  Again, many are no doubt manufactured by playing red-tee tournaments but not all. Heck, I’m not that great, and even I’ve shot a few 27s and a 26 from the back tees.
