I'm inclined to agree Karkarius.
A few extra yards length is not worth a faster meter speed. Far better to be consistent.
Drivers and woods with longer range are vital for some courses when you reach higher tiers. You'll always be playing for bogeys otherwise.
It becomes useful to have more effect from backspin for the irons (and possibly wedges). Better accuracy and forgiveness is good too but none of that is worth the expense of constantly missing the line anyway (just cancels it all out).
As for putting. I've gone back to the beginner putter after buying the Tour Standard. Supposedly it has the same meter speed but it doesn't. I find I put better with a bit less accurate putter but one I can usually hit exactly right. (Maybe I'll try it some more and get used to it but I'm not convinced.)
But, with those exceptions (distance for drivers (and, at the top tiers, woods and irons) and spin control for irons mainly) I think a slow meter speed is the most valuable quality. (A slow meter speed is a massive bonus for any long-range driver or precise iron and a fast meter speed would be a big disadvantage.)
(And lastly, I think a lot of players just keep quitting when they hit a few wayward shots with their ultra-precise but ultra-tricky clubs. It's good for the unlimited attempts tourneys but not so great for multiplayer games and having fun. IMHO)
