  i'm level 35 pro tier and i've got starter clubs  tour starter drive and starter plus iron.

  I've got 1300 credits for budget (not more) and i want to buy Spider putter (400cr) but i don't know what to do with the other 900 credits...  i was thinking about PING rapture driver LV24 or G10 iron set (700cr).

  In the budget are included the tiers rewards (Tour Pro and Master)

   

  Thanks all :)

  Don't buy the putter (my opinion).

  Get two wedges, Ping or better, get a 3WD perhaps.

  More 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.

  when i'll buy those things i will be 45 or higer so... another question: are important the balls? if yes, can you tell me witch balls should i buy (not too much credits)

  Balls are as important as clubs - they slow down the meter and add precision and spin.

  As I said, try from cheap to expensive, each ball has it's merits. The 10 cr balls are certainly better than the Starters, at 1 cr costs per 9 hole round.

  WGT Tour-SD, Srixons, Callaway level 33, are affordable with good performance.

  Great advice there from Alosso. When you reach the Master tier you'll need to drop your hybrid for a 3rd wedge so when buying your first 2 try to space them so you'll be able to slip the 3rd in between. It'll save you credits.

  well, i'll buy 2 ping wedges and the putt... how many degrees do you recommend me?

  Look at the distances. Take related clubs of short distance. E.g. 50 / 75 yds or 60 / 80 yds (that's the Pings IIRC).

  Use the punches to your advantage.

  Buy a better putter than the Spider.

  i have 3 options:

  - Buy 2 PING wedges (60-85) and daytona putter

  -Buy 2 PING wedges (60-85), spider putter and Rapture V2 3 wood (to use also as a driver)

  -Buy 3 PING wedges (60-75-90) and spider putter

   

  Thanks for all the answers!

  This:

  frazaza9:

  - Buy 2 PING wedges (60-85) and daytona putter

  and wait for the Daytona putter (level 55) and level 47 Rapture 3WD.

  The third wedge can wait until you eventually get better irons.

  +1 .Take your time, and work on your levels . Do practice rounds, and work on ball placement . Do the videos and surveys , and build up your credits . But do take your time, and learn the game . Use the Best of Par 3s , to learn your irons, and the Putting challenge , to work on your putting . Hope this helps. Happy Swinging
