  Hi guys, I am a level 82 legend with a avg. 63.73.. 
  - Driving Avg. 87.8%
  - GIR Avg. 78.8%

  Which would you suggest I purchase once I have reached level 85?

  - NIKE VR Forged Iron Set (L85+)

  - NIKE Covert 2.0 Driver (L85+)

  - TaylorMade SLDR 9.0° Driver (White) (L79+)

  Would appreciate any suggestions

  Be a nice to have I guess, but think come L90 you will be looking at the R11 set anyway (or whatever they have then).  Bladez are already good, and would easily see you through......L89 I would be thinking about the BB 3 wood also.

  EDIT:

  Saw what B2B said below and fair enough, but thought FWIW see below video too.  Overall the SLDR edged it going round when I tried em both round Beth F9 during a free rental.  Only a quick test so fwiw as say:

  Also see this thread for XP v Level inf.

  You answered your own question when you stated your level. Right now the only one on the 3 you mentioned that is available for you to buy is the level 79+ SLDR Driver. It takes a long time to get from level 82 to level 85. But if you wait just 1 level you could get the Callaway X hot Driver at level 83. It has the same specs as the SLDR  but is 300 credits cheaper making it a better value. And as Jim said even though it is 7 levels away the Callaway BB 3 wood is almost a no brainer when you can get it. It shows less forgiveness than some but so far I find it as forgiving or maybe even more than the R11s 3 wood that I had before.

  I would put the irons as the priority. The R11's are worth waiting for but the Nike Forged set would also work well. You have a nice average as a legend so obviously your clubs are working well. If you feel that you reach most greens in regulation with your driver & 3W current clubs then the iron set should be first to simply help you get closer to the pin by giving you better spin control. Your Bladz are not able to do that with most balls.

  How in the world do you hit the ding with that laggy jumpy meter?

  Jumps around when Bandicam is on for sure, and misses do increase.  Did OK for those two though:)
