Rocketball Irons

  I'm kinda of wondering if wgt only thinks about helping out the lower tier players. Why every update do they make clubs for the lower tiers to help them against legends? My personal opinion of these clubs is don't even rent them. While they have some ok distances on the irons a player using the level 59 g20's will still have a better set due to a slower meter. It was a waste to even make these clubs and the medium trajectory will kill the ones who love a higher ball flight. Nothing new for the legends as usual then you all wonder why people make another account to enjoy the new clubs as they punish us in games thanks to the help of wgt. Why not a level up bar for the players trying to get r11s instead of helping the mulit accounters move up in the rankings just to steal credits? Guess there is no love for the legends of the game smdh.

  I played a round with the lvl 69 rocketballz complete set and do agree the lvl 59g20s are superior irons to the rocketballz. The g20 higher loft allows for longer carry and  softer landings on the green with less rollout for more precise shots.

  The rocketball 3w did play longer than i expected and the meter was perfect during the round with the set.

  There's no supporting evidence yet, but in order to claim them as the "hottest clubs on tour"  you'd think they would be better than the G20's and R11's. At least they are better on tour, so maybe they will be here as well when the higher level ones are introduced later?

  The only thing holding these irons back is the med launch. Now off to try the i15s!

  I played the front 9 of St georges with the full set of rocketballz and they are a lot of fun playing the links style of golf (ie running it in from the front) i don't think they'd be suited to a course like bethpage though because you just can't stop the ball quick enough.

  They'd be good for players who struggle with a fast meter but not legends as the long irons just don't compare to the R11's or Burner 2's. The more lofted irons stop ok though so from the master tee's they can be very accurate as it's very easy to ding it.

  I was surprised to login today and find these new clubs - WGT did this one in 'stealth mode'! I for one will not be using them, as there are so many better options for higher level players. I was actually disappointed that the RBZ's were targeted at low to mid level players - when oh when will we see something equal to (or close to - or even better than) R11's with a bit slower meter (particularly on the irons)?? Could be a long wait as most of the 'elite' players on here never need to spend a dime - they just compete and have tons of credits to spend. Still, WGT does profit from RG's and such - maybe just not as profitable as those who spend credits they actually have to purchase (including me). Still nice to see new product and cannot wait to play Olympic!

  There will never be a set of irons better than the R11's with a slower meter. Or at least i hope there isn't. If there is then look out for the rounds in the 40somethings

  All i want is a driver 3w with a FASTER meter to match the r11 irons.
