    I am a level 38 at Tour Pro tier and am playing starter's clubs.  Is now the time to buy some clubs?  I am saving up my credits and don't know what level to buy clubs at without it being a waste.

    I'm a believer in spend, personally. You live once and don't take it with you. So go shopping and have fun doing it. Get three wedges, a driver and 3W. Try the TaylorMade R11 irons, you'll enjoy them. I did.

    I have purchased 2 ATV level 38 wedges, a R11 3 wood and a Spider putter.  What is my next purchase?  Do I wait on irons and get a driver?

    As you have some custom irons and driver, you might want to wait until you have advanced to Master tees and see from there what you need - and a few levels more will present you better equipment, and "high" trajectory is essential for irons in the future.

    For now, I'm afraid that you might not have made the best choice on wedges. The ATVs are fine but you'd be better off with two short ones - in particular, the 64° to cover short approaches with precision.

    It would depend on the respective distance spacings if you'd rather drop the 56° for now or drop the hybrid as many do.

    And, if you want to spend some bucks on your leisure, try custom balls, e.g. B-ES for a start. They wear and get lost and produce steady costs, but they improve the fun!

    Balls!  Balls! Balls!    Grab some balls that have a little spin to them and it'll blow your mind what work you can do around the greens with those ATV wedges.  I had those same ATV wedges you have until I made Tour Legend.  As others have told you, 3 wedges beats 1 hybrid any day.  Mine are 50 ,75 ,100 yarders.  Learn to punch, pitch and flop with  your wedges and its like having 9 extra clubs in the bag!

    Great, thanks guys.  I will add a 64* wedge and drop the hybrid.  I will wait till I can get High launch irons.
