Almost an R1 Thanksgiving

    It was my most frantic weekend at WGT to date.

    I don't know if it was the second or third time but it was definitely the last time that the R1 went down to level 93+ special weekend.

    I was level 92 with I think about 2000 points to go.(btw I have never boosted my xp and didn't think to then).

    I played my ass off thurs thru sun went through a lakes worth of balls.And  I damn sure made level 93 sunday night.Only problem was I had run myself broke. So I missed out on that 287 yarder.

    Oh well they will have another special at Christmas for sure I thought....Well nope not Christmas not ever.

    So now all these guys that were smart enough to keep their balls dry so they could buy that driver...Guys at levels 93,94,95,96,97 that's a lot of guys all have that 287 .

    So since there are that many people that are under level 98 unlock level.That means that it is approved for levels 93,94,95,96,97.Right?

    So I want one in a big way I will pay any price ,(not hitting as much water these days). Since obviously I'm eligible because guys lower than me have them.I need to know how to obtain one please.I really should not have to wait till level 98.

    Hell I'm no youngster I might not even live that long.Please give me a solution.

   ( original post was 1 paragraph ) ( Lol and I was only 54 at that time )

  ( is is just me or did I sound a little like YouLostToALoser back then Lol )

  Here is another puzzler.I just witnessed a saturated legends average go from 67.49 to 67.51 . How is that possible.There is no doubt about what I just saw.

  Sure???

  BTW driver wise don't know why they don't drop the 287 yard drivers a peg or two down.  Score wise they make such little impact, and all it does is annoys.  

  I remember all the fuss about the 287 yard R1 when the next best was L95 R11S (used to be L90 which also annoyed), and the only offerings below were the L88 R11 or (?) L83 G20.   I was below L88 and like what nonsense I was exclaiming and a mod said they think they have it about right.  

  Now of course they are throwing easy to hit 282 yard drivers at L79 at you.  Bit they miss is if they want people to stay motivated the next goal must be realistically achievable and L98 (OK L96 if count the BB) is too far off to do that.  OK WGT want people chasing but that's wildest dreams.........

  Things go way they have they will be doing something soon when they have finished testing the water as to what they can get away with.........BB at L94 and R1 at L86 might be about right.  

  Equipment should be one small part of the carrot with other things such as CCs with loads of ability to do things the main part, but the oil tanker takes time to turn.

  If you were playing rounds just for the XP's to get the R1, you could have just used the free ball. Others did it just not to waste good ones in the process..

  Do you know that many people don't read big solid blocks of text?

  The driver you have is more than enough driver to compete, I would focus on the 245yrd Big Bertha 3 wd and R11 irons, then the driver becomes a moot point.....the level 61 nike ball might help too. more distance and less spin= less deviation....

  Earlier in this thread I inquired how a saturated .legends level could go up as I had noticed one of my friends had done that. When I asked him he just chuckled. The response to my post was just as informative. This week I just happened to watch another score go from 69.09 to 69.12 to 69.13. Lol I wonder WTF they are doing. I don't need an answer. Just an observation.

    So I asked him .

  How the hell did your average go from 67.49 to 67.51?

  "averages" (grins). the higher ranges are less intimidating and I get a lot more invites since it has been coming back up to a more normal score for my skills. lol .

  
  

    Lol . That's all I got . Hellaguy though .
