  Hello to all ..

  Guys some advice required please . i was thinking of buying myself some new clubs but i thought is it worth it an my level ?  Tour pro Level 56 

  Current clubs 

  Ping rapture v2 driver (L 24)

  Ping rapture v2 fairway wood (L24)

  Ping tour w 60 and 54 wedge

  Ping rapture v2 iron set (L 25)

  Taylor made Ghost spider (L 25)

  Do you think i should stick with these and wait to i get to a higher level before spending credits ?? if so at what level should i be heading for before buying new equipment ? and what would you recommend. 

  Thanks in advance

   hi , as for ......  "Do you think i should stick with these and wait to i get to a higher level before spending credits ?? "

  i think it depends on what you want out of the game. If you want to compete at your tier and or improve your game quickly and $ is no object then yes up grade.

  if your happy with your game and play mostly for fun then no need to up grade until you want to. MPO....GL and HF

  You're o.k. with this choice until Master tier.

  Concerning woods and irons, wait at least until lvl 59 - Ping G25s are the first clubs with "high" trajectory.

  And try to keep the Raptures for a while - ancient quality clubs!

  Wedges: Keep for a while. Later you may consider three good(!) wedges to fit below your new irons, evenly spaced. (e.g. 50-75-100 yds or 60-80-100 yds). My top choice are the Clevelands around level 76.

  Putter: The Daytona (lvl  55) is an alternative, but there are plenty better ones at lvl 70 and whatnots. Take your time, search and read in the forum before buying.

   This is it....defining your object/goal. If you know it, and ask advise from that perspective, there are many players here that can point you precisely to where your best advantage is to advance you toward those objects/goals. ;-}

  Hi my experience has been to look at what is available in pro shop look for what I thought I wanted /needed to play my game, read the comments in the club selection, wait for free rental period try out what I was interested in, then making selection, one suggestion I agree with is balanced wedges and a putter u like is important. Bottom line is don't rush your choices less your stinkin rich
