  I aint nobody to give advice but Ill try. Are you an aim and ding putter or a mishit putter or a combo putter ? There is definitely room for improvement and looking at your equipment I guess it wouldnt hurt to rent the nike or daytona and try em out.

  i like to mis-hit. But some putts i try to ding, but mostly i play with missing the ding.

  I dont like to rent because only source of credits for me is through surveys (which hardly come up) and challenge mode. Takes a while to earn 1k for me through challenge mode especially when many managers send out 100-200 bets and run off when i decline. 

  At the moment there arent any good wedges at my lvl. I have a max wedge 60' , and when i try to use the pitch with those wedges for getting out the rough short distances, it's like it has no more backspin when i try and apply it. Same with cleveland 52', no backspin on those to getting out of rough via short range.

  I think 3 similar wedges would do you more good than a putter as your putting stats aren't too bad but your scrambling stats are low. A couple of ATV's to go with your satin would seem best, equally spaced to fill the gaps, after all the ATV's are just updated satins as far as I'm told.

  Basically +1

  I don't know about the ATVs in performance compared to the Satins but they are fine.  L40s Pings are great value to consider.  If your stats (you will know) are indeed indicative of your true play that's the way to go

  Get closer more often then worry about the putter upgrade when you are a few levels higher, and very good putters are available.

  The only putter to get is the top level Nike Method, but even the lower level Nke is good.

  Good wedges is the way to go

  Kid, I don't think you should invest in any more clubs until you get to the upper lvl wedges and putters. Personally I like the cleveland wedges and nike putter. I use the cleveland wedges because I like the ball to stop right by the hole and with lvl 47 ball and better they will. If you like a little roll out on wedges the atv are very good also. For me the nike putter is best because I ding the putter most of the time. On putts that break more than six virtual inches I still like to miss on the break side. The clubs you presently have are sufficient until the lvl 70 clubs are available.
