  "Note, higher level clubs unlocking at Level 81 will be available later in February." - WGT

  Any educated guesses on the specs these might have?

  Will the L81 G20s compete with the top level R11s?

  And since I'm only about 10 days from the L88 R11 Driver, will the L81 G20 Driver be worth waiting for?

  I doubt very seriously anything available at a lower level is going to be as good as the higher level stuff. By the looks of it, the meter speed is what really changed and I suspect that's what will happen with that driver. Just guessing.  :-)

  Well I am at work right now and the Home Depot uses some way outdated software so I can't see the proshop. Are the g20s bassicaly g10s with a slower meter?

  <disappointed>

  Still holding out for that legend-only driver. A level 81 G20 is a waste of time IMO.

  I don't even care if a new tier-specific driver were better than the R11. Just something different and still competitive. Maybe a few more yards but a faster meter or something...SOMETHING.

  And a new wardrobe for my avatar dude.

  Yes, same clubs but different color and half a dot more forgiveness along with a  slow meter. Was expecting more from wgt, disappointing to say the least.

  But an educated guess.  ;)

  What worries me is that there wasn't an upper level set of G10s.  But something on par with the R9 and the Burners would make sense.

  Can we trade our old G10s for the G20s? as you cannot buy them anymore.

  Alright thanks for the info. Definitely not buying those, just got used to the meter on the G10 driver and irons.

  An updated Legend-only version of the R11 is already scripted in TaylorMade's lineup. It's called the R11 TP. It's $100 more than the regular one. That should be worth something.

  Would be easy implementation too. No modeling changes needed. Nothing more than a slight tweak of the algorithm and a code to distinguish the R11 from the R11 TP.

  C'mon WGT...I'm still hoping.
