I like this new option. Now I can take off all benefits, and just have a customised avatar.
Supercharging your drives etc with apparel benefits for the coin games is all good fun, but it does you no good when playing tournaments, ranked rounds, or swapping between mobile/PC. If anything, it can adversely affect your game if you get too used to enhanced distances, meter speeds, forgiveness etc.
As an aside, WGT really aren’t into sharing info. It was only a matter of weeks ago, in a discussion with them via email, that I mentioned this very thing. I asked directly if it was an option for the future. Their reply was, “Thanks for your input, but we aren’t planning any changes at the moment”. YAY for transparency, haha.
