G20 Clubs.

  So basically what's happened here, and someone correct me if I'm wrong...Is the new G20's have the exact same stats as the old G10's did and now the old G10's stats are significantly worse than what they were before.

  Before the G10 driver could hit 270, now it's 250, and the new G20 is 270.

  The irons are the same. The G10's were 210-115 and now are 200-105 and the new ones are 210-115.

  To be fair they have not effected the stats of my G10 irons since I bought them before the G20's came out, and the stats have remained the same. But then Someone buying the G20's might feel hard down by when besides a slower meter my clubs will perform exactly the same as their newer and more expensive ones do.

  How does a club just get worse overnight?

   If you can't make a club better you just make the older one worse?

  Strange.

  You are wrong about the G10s

  The G20s have replaced the level 59 G10s that set of irons have been scrapped and replaced with G20s the only difference is half a dot forgiveness and slower meter speed but with the old G10 set you got 2 wedges with them but not with the G20 set.

  being in my 60s i am quite pleased that they have come out with with the new g20 irons, same as the g10s but a slower meter speed should help older players like me

  Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this marks the 1st time WGT has scrapped a whole set of clubs & replaced them with a newer more $ set. As a long time user of the G10s 115-210 I can say these clubs were an all time favorite of the best players before the R11s & Burner 2.0s came out & they were only 1200cr with high trajectory that made them the best value on here if you wanted to be able to play any course that has elevation change & what did they do they took em away & replaced with a more expensive set wow :-(

  This is 1 of the most offensive things they have pulled as long as I've been a member & I for one don't like it.

  D51nn3tt:

  They didn't take yours or mine, though, and didn't change anything about them. They did slow the meter down and I'm sure that's enough to grab the attention of a lot of players that have a hard time with the meter speed, like Fantasy.

   I think it's a pretty clever way to get G20s here without making the game ridiculous with clubs better than the R11s.
