Why aren't all clubs available for legends?

  Of course its down to money.

  Thats WGT's business plan!!!!!!! Thats why they brought out the level up faster choccy bar and the level up drinks.

  BUT.......... When you eventually MAKE Legend with hard work and dedication to this GAME, you should at least be awarded in some way besides the Legend Balls (if you are at the right level to get them!!!!)

  Come on WGT. Give those who actually get there, instead of sitting at pro building up the level's, some sort of reward.

  MY two cents

  Have thought since day 1 of legend tier that everything should be open to legends.  As it is now, for a new player entering the legend tier as say level 75-80, they are at a huge disadvantage legends already level 92+.   So basically you're telling those players, congrats, here's 200 credits for making legend, enjoy having almost zero chance to win anything for the next few months!

  There is just one thought crossed my mind. Made me laugh a bit.

  These lower level Legend's have got to have some skill about their game to have got there in a short time with inferior clubs.

  If given the right equipment start quaking in your golf shoes existing Legends. You are going to have some competition for the top places!!!!!!!!!!  LMAO:~)))

  The "WGT want to make more money" argument dosen't make any sense either, as I've bought upgrades every time better clubs have become available to me.  There is literally nothing I need til lvl 85, 88 & 90. It's just a pointless waiting game now.

  Infact they'll lose money because I won't be entering pay for tournaments with these clubs.  No logic at all in this.

  I agree with the OP here %100. I am a level 91 so it does not affect me. If your are a legend and hitting from the far Tees, then you have earned the right to whatever club you want. This would fix so many issues here. No longer would there be level 80 + players hitting from the lady tees and players being stuck because they busted their butts to make Legend at level 75. Thank goodness for the G 20s because they really help but then the player is stuck buying a driver he may no longer want in 2 months. I guess we have all had to play by the same rules but I do agree with the OP here.

  I think what Bollie said is the most correct.  The clubs, balls, etc. should be tier specific rather than level specific.  That would put an end to some of the sandbagging as well since you couldn't stay as a tour pro level 95 and have all the best equipment.

  The reason of course is purely sales.  The more you play the higher level, the better equipment you can buy so I don't see it changing anytime soon.

  Although I am not a legend, I believe that everything in the pro shop, should be unlocked for legends. These folks have earned it, and deserve it. They still have to spend their money for this equipment. Really makes no sense at all. I'm sure by the time I make legend, there will be new equipment you will suck me into.  I guess if it's for players above level 93, I will have to wait. Chances are I won't live that long, when it will be aver 200 k to reach the next level. WGT, you are punishing the wrong players.

  I read from this post of yours...  That it is best to level to level 92 and then Tier up..

   

  Did I read this right?

   

  I will not Tier any higher until I have the level 92 putter... So Im on to the HUSTLE here.. 

  Just glad to see that the BEST player on many's standards saying the SMART MONEY is to LEVEL TO 92 Then Tier up... 

   

  Thank you.. 

  That Leon dude yelled at me for this. Said I was Sandbagging... I knew I wasnt doing anything wrong.

  Not suggesting sandbagging (intentionally delaying making legend) , just stating it's rather unfair for those who become legend at a low level.  You can still acclimate to the new conditions using lesser clubs than r11s while waiting for them.  But it would be tough to compete w/ less than a 280 driver and burner irons, and even those are a fair amount worse than r11 stuff.
