Nick,
What level are you? I had a played was going the way yours is but lost it during moving back to iOS. But I took the opportunity with this player to start hard after the two Vanquishers available and then get them to six stars. It's hard to do without spending a penny but I went for the putter first and got it around level 20 and the driver at level 40 (that took a year). I also focused on getting my Vixen clubs to 6 stars (it's a pain in the ass and takes about 6 weeks per club). But now I"m level 49, 2 red star, Vanquisher 6 star driver, Vixen 6 star woods and iron, Vixen 5 star wedge (will work it to six now, hopefully by Halloween), Vanquisher 6 star putter. I also aim for gauge speed 70 to 80% except driver is 62%
I also use pink balls which I get from Clan play and use only in clan, not in match. On Match, I play ONLY the second level as I win about 8 out 10 matches there.
Is it what I really want, know. I'm good enough skill wise, putting is 1.17 and I'm usually second in my clan and the top 5 all drive the ball 400+ where as I do about 300 reliably, 320 at max swing on flat.
A meteor club would be awesome but it's simply never shown up. I really feel its a shakedown to get me frustrated to finally spend the hundreds of $$$ they want to get a several meteors.
I also wish those of use they don't spend $$$ would get a special amateur status and could be matched only against amateurs and let the meteor 500+ yard drivers play there silly stuff on there own.
Finally, when I'm matched against someone driving a 400 yard hole to the green, I immediately quit the game as protest then rejoin quickly and seek out a new match. It seems to sometime fool the game but at least it's a protest as the bomber has to sit there for awhile to get the win.
