    I'm not WGT guy but I will try and answer your question. There are the R11 irons that are avavilable to players with level 32+ and also R11 irons to players of level 90+. There is a R11 driver available to level 29+ and also at level 88+.

    You are a level 45 Pro so you can get the junior level R11's driver and irons.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    One of these should be the lvl 90 Legend-only driver.

    Just saying...again

    Yeah, and legends need more help with better drivers to make up for the tee distance. Why don't you just stay Tour Pro and use your R11 driver if that's how you feel about.

    Why do legends need more distance, its actually quite comical. You're at a handicap and stuck back for a reason, for being dedicated good players, all Ready-Go's are won by legends with current equipment. 

    Legend + R11S = Tour Master/Master + R11, pathetic really.

    Pathetic? Sorry you feel that way. My consistent suggestion regarding a legend-only driver isn't to gain the same distance or hit the same approach shot as tour masters, masters, etc,. My suggestions have been to make it something different and at least mildly desirable as small incentive and reward as right now there is nothing.

    I could care less about ready go's or who's winning what. What I do take issue with is hordes of players sitting on the cusp of the next tier and retaining lower tiers at all costs. I feel if there were some incentive, like tier-specific equipment that it would help the situation and still add revenue to the WGT coffers.

    Making the R11S a legend-only 287yd driver wouldn't change the outcome to anything IMO. It would just make the disparity between tiers less on certain tracks...like Kiawah back 9 where the TM tees provide a marked advantage on most every hole. Personally, I take no issue when playing lower tiers where they have an advantage on a couple holes in a 9 hole match, but 30+ yards on 5 out of 9 holes is an imbalance when the TM has a ~61.xx average and the ability to obviously make legend but just doesn't. Actually, who could blame him for not since there isn't much incentive other than longer tees, longer approaches and "legend" in their profile.

    But, you can stay in your closed minded world where you are more worried about winning your little ready go's than trying to get better and improving this golf simulation in general.

    Most naive and ineffective retort ever, you've failed to miss the point, and your need to self-satisfy has failed you.

    There are tiers for a reason. I'm not sitting here asking for a TM, or M only Driver to cope with level 80+ Tour Pro's when playing Skins games. You know, you get on with the game, and I've always been out-driven at every level reaching tiers at such low-levels.

    That's the disadvantage of the tiers, yes you're back by 30+ yards on 5/9 holes, you chose to hit Legend, you chose to get recognised as an elite player by doing that, you accepted you'd be at a disadvantage. Think you're forgetting the Legend only balls you currently get that no one else does, and at decent prices.

    TMs not going up on 61.xx? Well, I think you'll find that if they want the most from the game, tournaments will be entered and those low-scores posted as they aim to win those trophies, eventually they'll go up, otherwise its a bad product of the game.

    Why should a Legend and a Tour Master/Master be at the exact same advantage, why? Why not keep all the same Tee's somewhere at the back and give everyone the same drivers, should aim to stop your crying as a Legend player requiring an absolute equal footing to everyone else.

    I would like to see a new Legend only driver. Maybe the new R11S with 285yds and a faster meter to match the R11 irons.

    That is an AWESOME idea!!! I have never understood the different meter speeds for the R11 set.
