  So anybody has an answer for "[Question 2] Which clubs (drivers, woods and irons) have the same meter speed as Cleveland 588 Wedges?"...

  What about NIKE VR Forged Iron Set (L85+) for instance? How is it comparing to Cleveland 588 Wedges? Slower, faster or the same?

  You will have to go to the pro shop and look at the clubs for yourself . Whatever clubs you want the specs will show the meter speed .As I said in earlier post you will want to get clubs with high trajectory as you move back on the tees . Good luck . ;-)

  Hey Scott, thanks for the reply.

  As I mentioned in my post, sometimes clubs vary in meter speed although they have the same speed number shown in Pro Shop.

  That was the case for me between Odyssey Tank Cruiser V-Line Putter (L47+) and Odyssey Versa #1 Black Putter (L70+). They both have the meter speed of 5.0, but the latter is considerably slower which makes ironically enough more difficult for me to ding so I had to go back to my old Odyssey Tank Cruiser V-Line Putter. (And V-Line rolls and curves more like what my eyes perceive contours of greens).

  And as for the high trajectory, I am well aware of its importance and that was the main reason why I went for MAX Precision Irons.

      Thank you lonniescott for for the tip about trying to play the same meter speed with all of my clubs so as to avoid meter glitches. I did not know that different club meter speeds would affect my meter in that way.

  You are welcome . By matching your meter speeds you stabilise your meter . Its the fluctuating meter speeds that cause the glitches . This game has so many different programs that work arounds make it more playable .
