  Well I bought level 58 G20 3 wood to give me adequate distance off the tee for a reasonable price.  Need to play with it more because for some reason I think the meter is faster than it is.  I also picked up a Ping 58 degree wedge since I didnt have a proper sand wedge and got rid of the hybrid.  Now I have 361 credits for now, working some extra free ones, and will have to wait and see what will be next.  Thanks for the replys/help.  Keep it long and straight, cheers!

  I'm playing a lot of time with the Rapture V2 irons(L48) with 200-110 yds. Was great irons, great forgiveness, very slow meter, Vgood for the price !! Very easy to adapt with a ball like the GI3-D.

  After you should buy 3 wedges for shot ball closer to the hole on green, go out from the rough and make easy chips and flops. Good ones ( L38-39) are Taylormade Z satin TP, for closing the gap between your irons and the hole( lower range clubs). Good choice wlil be 3  wedges: 64° for 50yds, 60° for 77yds, 56° for 93yds. Price for these ones is Vgood. Enjoy !

  I was thinking about getting a sleeve of Srixon balls.  I am kinda regretting buying the 64 degree wedge though.  I really dont use it very much, maybe once or twice a round.  Love the 58 and 60 though.

  Congrats - the G20 3WD was a better buy than a driver IHMO. As a Pro (and Tour Pro to come) the tee shots aren't too long, so a very long driver might give you more trouble than fun. Maybe you can wait with the driver until you hit Master - then you'll need the length, you'll possess new credits and you'll have advanced to a (edit) level where better clubs are available. For now, you have the advantage of two rocking 3WD shots!

  Roughly the same applies to the irons - wait until you don't stand it any more and buy some good high-flying clubs!

  Regarding balls, they wear and get lost and thus are a steady expense. I have good experiences with the WGT SDs, 65 crs per sleeve and the little advantages against the Starters add to quite a big one: length, spin, wind ruggedness, fault tolerance, meter speed.

  I gladly accept the "green fee" of 6 cr / 9 hole round - it pays off!

  My point exactly.  Congressional #5   540 yards . After my drive, its  252 yards to the pin. WHAT GOOD IS MY DRIVER NOW?  G20 or Taylormade 3W...best options in my not so humble opinion!
