  When will WGT let us buy Nike VR-S & Nike VR-PRO clubs?

  Could be anytime. WGT doesn't announce what clubs they're releasing beforehand.

  I really don't know where WGT is going to go for it's next set of top of the range irons.  Let's be honest, anything better than the R11 is going to make the scores even sillier.

  The only way I can see irons with better stats being viable is if they have a lightning meter and fairly low forgiveness.  If you can hit the ding you'll do great.  If not, you're in trouble.  There has to be a risk involved.

  And if there is to be something better than the R11, please make it legend only.  And available to all legends regardless of level.

  I concur. 

  However, I'd say that five more yards in irons (to 230) isn't too far-fetched, especially if a longer course is added in the future.

  Chambers Bay, at nearly 8000 yards, is going to be added in the future.

  Distance is over-rated. Forgiveness and accuracy are a lot more important.

  bookmark this post and refer back to it if/when you get to hit from the legend/championship tees

  Couldn't agree more.

  I tend to agree. Pillsy has a point  but you can subvert the additional distance with accurate shots.
