    That's a long wait - 88,500 XPs!

    OTOH, levels pass quickly in the beginning, one per day is easily possible until level 50 with the CDP bonus.

    Thus, whatever you want to buy, look out for the possible better equipment available at a higher level. In general, unless the need for a change is irresistible,

    - do not start to buy wedges before level 18,

    - do not start to buy a putter before level 30,

    - do not start to buy woods and irons before level 47/48,

    - start buying balls as a Tour Pro, work your way through the list from cheap to expensive. Try to avoid using a ball with higher level than your main clubs.

    For you, no putter update IMHO.

    Good approach to the custom balls!

    I was going to wait... but in a moment of manic indecision & impulsiveness.... I went with the wedges (3) cleveland and the K 15.... I figure if I keep doing the surveys and video's like I have, I can upgrade later...   So far happy, only a couple rounds, but I can really tell a difference with the wedges....  Posted my second 68 with my first round with the new clubs and bogied the last two holes....    Either way, I think I'll be here for a while....

    Irresistable... :)

    With a 105 yds PW, the 3rd wedge may be dispensable, but wedges are the best buy for a start. Some players change their clubs for different competitions (CTTH, Blitz), so it may be profitable anyway...

    Have fun!
