I copied this from another one of my posts- btw this was in the Nike Putter thread started by gfsullivan...

$24 for a Nike putter, $29 for a full set of top irons..... Yea, that makes sense.
NOPE.....
But it makes lots of 'cents'
I completely agree...at least they give the opportunity for some people (bollox), (me) to make back the credits and not have to pay the $$, only the time and stress...I bought a R11 driver at level 88 and it left me broke...no deposits later...I was back on my feet (thanks to my club owner for donating a sleeve of balls) before too long. I started winning creds again and now just turned lvl 89 and have around 3,000 credits.
Back to the original topic, WGT just wants to squeeze more money out of the players. They make a new top thing but make it super expensive so that only the top players can get it which creates wider separation, meaning no more credits for the lower people so they deposit more and more and more until WGT's profits triple...at least that's what it seems like they are trying to do...sry if I got it all wrong but that is just what it looks like
On another topic, why doesn't wgt have blade irons? The reason the top scores are so low is because the irons/wedges are WAAAY too forgiving. If you're going to have a 3 iron that goes 240 yds, should it really end up inside of 20 ft on a missed shot? NO! The top tour pros IRL have an average distance to the pin of around 35 ft. while the top WGTers have an average distance to the pin of something like 7 ft...see a difference? I think the top irons should act like starters with better stopping power, longer distance, and much faster meter. Also WGT needs to stop with meter slowing balls...they make the fastest meters in the game feel like starters, allowing top players to ding those fast meters 2/3 of the time! No sir the "meter" in real life lasts like 1/4 second with many variables while WGT has it last like 1.5 seconds with only 1 variable! Waay to easy! You might "ding" a shot IRL maybe 1 out of 15 times, maybe 1 out of 8 for a Pro...
