Re: Equipment Upgrade

  I've recently got myself a  bit of money and have decided to put a little of it into WGT. I'm looking to upgrade my entire kit except for my 60, 64 and putter. I'm willing to buy level-up boosts to get the clubs I need (unfortunately they only go to lv 64).

  I'm open to suggestions from more experienced users.

  I was thinking of the M1 (55+) as driver - I'm drawn towards its slower meter and great forgiveness.

  I was looking at the X2 Hot 3 Wood (33+) to fill the gap between the Driver and Irons.

  For the Irons, I'm wondering which is the best between the G25 Irons (59+), the MAX Meter Irons (47+), and Nike Vapor Irons (64+).

  For the 56 wedge, I was looking at the Cleveland 588 56 degree (27+).

  I'm very pleased with my putter, 60 and 64 (thanks YankeeJim).

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  I'll let Alosso give club advice but playing a variety of courses will help your game with varying conditions. Joining a busy country club would help you too.

  First of all, consider what you want. Any better equipment will make you a Master quicker, sending you back to longer tees, in need of better clubs. Next big step back at Legend tier!

  With your Starter balls, any custom club is difficult to master, so regular expenses may be due (e.g. B-ES or Tour-SD balls in the beginning).

  Level boosts are 300+ for each level coming, that's about 4,000 cr to L59 at 88,515 XPs. For you, it may be 45,000 or 45 days away, with every day play. You might consider to omit the pricey boosts and to wait for the G25 club set(!) as it is priceworthy and the only one with "high" trajectory, a premium in this area! These clubs may take you to Legend easily.

  After that, choose a third wedge, alas rather a L38 ATV (100 / 105 yds) or the
  L41 Ping Gorge (100 yds), and sell back the G25 hybrid.

  Stick with your putter, it's a widely recognised bargain.

  The ultimate wedges are at L79 up...

  Solarflares:

  Level-ups are 100 credits each.

  True up to L19, but if you try to gift a boost to the OP, it's 300 cr. Full price list is in the FAQs =>

  Solarflares:

  Level 59 will cost you 1,300 well-spent creds.

  Nope!

  To me, it sounds like a pricey intermezzo.

  Just a short comparison:

  One boost, L51 to L52, is 300 cr for 3,400 XPs.

  That's about three nine holers incl. CDP, total costs estimated to 75 cr with my balls, and it covers only one level.

  Weigh that against a three days' wait...

  Thanks for the tips guys. Sorry if I sound like a noob, but what is the advantage of a 'high' trajectory? Also, is the now M1 driver (L55+) any good? Its stats look fantastic, especially the meter speed and forgiveness. I'm also quite worried about the lack of forgiveness of the G25s.
