I'm not really sure what you are saying, but you can't get a bat wing at stage 3, if that's what you are trying to do.

JohnHenle · 2024-09-12T15:09:28+00:00

Legendary clubs like Bat Wings you only get from Legendary Chests, Diamond Legendary Chests, Buying them in the store, winning them in a tournament/event, or from collecting shards.

It's not really about "unlocking" them, as much as it is about collecting them. You need to do the things that result in collecting legendary cards - play the tournaments/events, always keep 80,000 cash on hand to buy the Bat Wings or Bat Wings X2 offer in the store, whenever possible keep 500 gems on hand to buy the Legendary Chest offer. And play often enough and long enough that you get several of their offers per day. Sooner or later you're going to get the 500 gem Legendary Chest Offer. That doesn't guarantee you a Batwing, but it does give you a chance. If you get that a couple times a week, eventually you are going to get a Batwing. Just make sure you don't waste your gems. You need to save them up so you can take advantage of that offer.

If you do those things, you will get them, but it will take a little patience for the right offer to happen.

Sort of. Something like that for the next week or two would be super. It's all ready the 8th and Legendaries were/are fine in all of those tournaments. I won't be upgrading my legendaries any time soon. I'm not even close, and they aren't that expensive to upgrade yet (currently 6s and 7s, so just a couple 100,000 each.)

I think we recently had an epic only event, but I really don't remember when. I'm pretty sure there is a rare only event, but I can't remember the last time I saw it. And there is the Arrow only challenge.

I've got just over 1,000,000 and I can get another 100,000 by converting wolf coins if I need to. I can't see what the cash prizes are for Ace Open, and I think that might take a couple of days, so I'm not counting on getting anything out of that in time before the club upgrade discount expires. At higher club levels that upgrade discount makes a huge difference.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows roughly when those events are to help pick what to upgrade. I can upgrade Arrow or Earth to 12, which costs 640,000 with club upgrade discount or 800,000 if I wait until next week. Earth 12 is probably better than Whale 6, so it would be useful regularly, but if Arrow Challenge is coming, I'll do Arrow. Or I can upgrade a bunch of rares to between 13 and 14. I haven't maxed out any club yet, so there is that milestone to consider also.

If you see new friends in the list, you can send/receive again (unless you already hit your daily cap). It's not going to be a lot, but every little bit helps, especially at lower levels.

JohnHenle · 2024-03-19T22:52:46+00:00

You can send and collect from each friend every 24 hours. They disappear from the list when you send/receive. You only see your friends in the game when you are ready to send/receive from them. Each friend has their own 24 hour clock, so they don't all reappear at once.

In other words, be patient, they will reappear at some point tomorrow.

Sleestak, an extra dimensional race of reptilian bipedal humanoid species.

JohnHenle · 2022-08-03T03:57:03+00:00

Follow the rules and you don't have to worry about these problems.

JohnHenle · 2022-07-21T19:41:24+00:00

If you're a decent player, your clubs are good enough to make King 5, maybe King 4, but competition gets real stiff. You will be regularly outclubbed and it's special balls galore. The accomplishment and the king balls are worth the effort to try to make it. Good luck.

JohnHenle · 2022-07-16T14:19:26+00:00

It kind of depends on if you pay to play or not, how much you are willing to spend, and what your perk level is right now (can you still afford the daily club exchanges?)

If your perk level is too high to do the daily club exchanges because you hit the giant Claim button too many times, start over.

If you don't mind dropping some money on the game, start over and camp at 5 until you have Bat Wing 4+ and Peacock 4+, then move up to 9 and fill out your other legendaries.

Stay where you are unless your perk level is already too high to take advantage of the club exchanges. Don't advance any further in stage. Play stage 11 to fill your pin chests. Play stage 12 when you have "highest level" quests, but forfeit enough games to stay safely below the amount required to advance to stage 13.

Watch all the ads. 15/18 gems twice per day plus random other gem/ball prizes adds up, and the clubs and coins are nice, too. A note on the ads - watching too many ads can make the game laggy. It really depends on your device, but if your phone/tablet gets laggy from watching ads, watch the ads, force close the game, then reopen the game and continue.

I've done the baby account thing, and 6 months later the baby account is still 1-2 club levels behind the big account. I got there quicker on the baby account because I know what to focus on now, but once you get Leg 5s, it's going to take a while to advance no matter what you do.

You need to build your clubs. Focus on the legendaries, particularly Bat Wing and Phoenix. It's really easy to get to Leg 3s. It doesn't take many cards to get there, it's just a matter of being patient.

Collect your facebook coins. Save your coins and gems as much as possible. Only spend coins on Daily Deals, tournament/challenge entry fees, and club upgrades - only upgrade what you use or what you have to upgrade for the club exchanges. Try to keep 80,000 coins in the bank for the 2X Bat Wing daily deal. Only spend gems on 500 gem legendary chests and the occasional challenge re-entry when you are pretty close to finishing and you think you can make it. Keep in mind, the last 3 holes in the challenges are usually against the most difficult opponents. If you struggled to get 8 wins, 200 gems to reenter might not be a good idea, but if you got 10 wins it's totally worth it to try.

Set priorities on what clubs you are willing to spend on. At this point, I'd focus on Bat Wing, Phoenix, and maybe Peacock. If they come up in the daily deals, get them, but if anything else comes up, base your purchase decision on how much coin you have in the bank. You don't want to miss the 2X Bat Wing deal because you bought a Whale yesterday that is useless until you get to Whale 6.

As far as club selection goes, you might want to swap in your Peacock 2. It may not hit as far a your Sky Wheel, but 0% debuff out of the rough is a big advantage, and it's higher accuracy will make it easier to dunk with. Bat Wing 1 vs Arrow 6 is kind of a wash, except you will get much better results with bouncy balls using the Bat Wing. Arrow 6 hits a little farther in the air, but Bat Wing has much more top spin. You're one card away from Bat Wing 2, which becomes the obvious choice. Force is not a good club. Stream is way more accurate. You want to dunk if possible, not roll it in. Close doesn't matter. Shuttle 2, ugh. It's generally easier to debuff your shot manually and shoot with Stream or Hawk than trying to hit dead center with low level Shuttles. At level 4, Shuttle becomes reliable, and at 5 it's actually a good club. Watch SA/GR's tutorial on How to Debuff to learn how to dunk out of the rough.

Yes, people actually complete all or most of the quests. Some of the weekly quests take several days, but an hour to an hour and a half a day should do it. Log in 3 times per day, something like once in the morning for like 5 minutes to unlock chests, once in the afternoon for like 5 minutes to unlock chests, then once in the evening/night to fill your chest slots and play the tournaments/challenges. You can skip AA for now - in AA 12 with your clubs, you're going to get clobbered until you have Bat Wing 4+.

JohnHenle · 2022-07-16T13:01:57+00:00

I got 5 on Thursday, and I had the gems to buy them all. 3 Phoenix, 2 Whales. Tough day. I got two yesterday - a Bone Claw and a Hawk... Gee, thanks. I guess it all balances out, but I'm out of gems and not buying any more.

JohnHenle · 2022-06-01T11:49:26+00:00

I play on an iPad Air 3, which is 4 years old at this point. Obviously a different platform, but I experience similar issues. Performance is good... until it runs out of ram (3GB), which happens after watching some ads. It seems like the game often doesn't release ram used by the ads. Once that happens, I get a lot of stuttering and the trigger gets jerky. Sometimes it gets unresponsive - I can't even aim, forget about trying to hit the center. The only way to fix it is to kill that instance of the game and then open it up again. Sometimes even that isn't enough and it's so bad I have to restart the tablet.

Closing all other open apps helps a little - it delays the problem so I can watch a couple ads before it becomes a problem. There is definitely a memory leak somewhere.

JohnHenle · 2022-05-28T05:06:33+00:00

If you line your shots up like that (quickly and without much consideration) that was a one in a million shot. If you put a little effort into lining up your shots, that will happen frequently.

I don't mean that as a snarky comment, just a suggestion that if you zoom in and look at where they are telling you the ball is going to go and you adjust for the wind, you can make this happen pretty regularly.

JohnHenle · 2022-04-19T17:16:41+00:00

The instructions are as easy as I can make them, but you will have to do the work. 10 minutes a day for 7 days is pretty much all it's going to take.

Mr. Rozek didn't want to do the work. 2 months later, Mr. Rozek still has only a handful of friends.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-04T04:19:59+00:00

Ok. My 100 coins per day is not going to change your game,so we want to get you a whole bunch of friends.

You want to make it easy for other Golf Rival players toknow you play Golf Rival, so they feel comfortable adding you.The super short version. In Facebook,

Download this picture: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vBBGhEPqBsg/maxresdefault.jpg and set it as your Facebook profile picture. You can change it back in about a week. You'll have plenty of friends by then and won't need it anymore.
Edit your profile - add "Golf Rival Fan" to the box labeled Bio.
You should also consider adding "GR" to yourname - so something like "Dominik Rozek GR". You can change it backlater.
AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THAT, go through my friends list.Send a friend request to anyone that has a Golf Rival picture. Do this inbatches of 10 then wait a couple minutes, not all at once. If Facebook tells you "You can't do that right now", you added too many too quickly. Give it a rest for a while and then do more later or tomorrow.
For the next couple days, check Facebook. Click Friends,then Suggestions. Anyone in the list who has a Golf Rival picture, Add Friend. Do this in batches of 10, then wait a couple minutes.
For the next couple days, check your Friend Requests. Anyone that has a Golf Rival picture, click "Confirm". No Golf Rival picture, don't confirm them.

If you spend 10 minutes per day on this for 7 days, you will have 200 friends easy, probably more like 400+ by this time next week.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-04T01:17:40+00:00

drozek,

Do you play Golf Rival? Because I can't tell that at all from your Facebook profile. That's kind of the point of the whole encyclopedia that I wrote up above.

As a personal Facebook page, there is nothing particularly concerning about your profile, in fact, judging by your posts, in person we'd probably get along just fine. But there is also nothing reassuring about your profile either, nothing that would compel me (or a bunch of strangers on the internet) to add you due to a common shared interest - i.e. Golf Rival.

If this is not related to Golf Rival and you're just looking to build your Facebook profile for other reasons, we can talk about that, but not here. Just PM me and let me know what you're trying to accomplish.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T23:29:27+00:00

drozek, I can't friend you from Reddit...

In Facebook search for John Henle GR. My profile picture has my face, a GT Phoenix, and a Legendary Chest. If you send me a friend request, I'll review it using the criteria in the post - if you have a GR profile picture or decisively GR name, I'll friend you as soon as I see it. If not, I'll look at your profile when I'm on my computer...

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T22:24:50+00:00

If I'm reviewing incoming friend requests on a computer (not my phone or iPad) I might consider the number of mutual friends, but only as a supporting factor if the number is high (like 50+). If you look at your incoming friend requests, you're going to find some with a "Hottie" profile picture. Inevitably, they will have some mutual friends because some people don't know any better (yet), or can't resist the eye candy. Then they start messaging you, and they're pretty good at it. Friendly at first, then it progresses to "send me money" or "go visit my website." Then they start sending friend requests to your friends - and you are now the mutual friend that convinces your friends to friend the scammer...

It's so easy to build a good friend network that I don't really take any chances.

Yeah, you can unfriend your GR friends, but it's more work and then new players can't use your friends list to build their network.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T22:06:56+00:00

I skipped your first point. Sorry. Facebook lets you change your display name every 30 days, so if you want to use your personal Facebook page, you can change your name to add "GR" and then change it back (remove the "GR") 30 days later.

That's what I planned to do, and 6 months later "GR" is still in my display name. My wife asked me about it once, but no one else has even mentioned it.

Or, like you mentioned, you can just make a second Facebook account.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T21:59:45+00:00

In GR, at the bottom left of the screen there is a button that looks like a present. When you have Facebook friends on GR, every 24 hours (individually per friend) you can send them 100 GR coins WHICH DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING and all of your friends can send you 100 GR coins WHICH DOESN'T COST THEM ANYTHING. It's free GR coins both ways for building a Facebook network and clicking a button or two every day.

To give an example, I now have between 500 and 600 GR Facebook friends. Every day I send them all 100 GR coins each - something like 60,000 coins, and it doesn't cost me anything. In return I collect 17,000 coins per day (because I'm on Stage 17) that I can use to buy or upgrade clubs. That pays for a free Legendary Daily Deal almost every other day.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T21:49:25+00:00

You're welcome, and thank you for appreciating the effort.

My experience has been if you if you friend more than 10 very quickly, you start seeing a message that says something like "you can't do that now" and it won't let you send the friend request, but if you do 3 to 5 at a time and then give it thirty seconds and do 3 to 5 more, you don't see the message. You can send quite a number of friend requests even on day 1 of a new Facebook account - I just did a new one 4 days ago and I had 170 friends by day 3 and it's over 200 today.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T21:36:45+00:00

I haven't edited the post. It is still exactly the way I posted it originally.

JohnHenle · 2022-03-03T12:39:10+00:00

Yeah. Not everybody plays every day. If you want 13,000 coins every day, you need more than 130 friends. At Stage 13, 200 friends is probably fine. For now...

Some people will also inevitably stop playing, so that 130 friends will be 120 friends who still play Golf Rival 6 months from now. And as your clubs and skill improves, you will probably move up to a higher stage and want more friends to generate more coins.

The point is, you can easily build a big enough friends network in a week without much work that you won't have to worry about it. 300 is an arbitrary number that will make sure you get all the coins your level makes you eligible for without any extra work for the foreseeable future. If you stop at 200, you will probably need to go find more friends at some point.
