    Hi...currently L46 and rising fast.  I'm only Pro rank and it probably won't go up for a long time because I play my rounds very fast without worrying about my score.

    Because of the big jump in XP requirements around level 80, I am thinking about waiting to buy equipment until:

    L79 TM SLDR Driver

    what irons?  could I get away with L59 Ping G25s until I make it into 90s?

    was actually considering the L38 TM ATV Wedges @ 495 cr each to cut costs (64 deg, ?, ?)

    putter L70 Odyssey Versa #1 @ 2495 cr OR  L66 TM Ghost @ 1200 (leaning toward TM Ghost to save credits)

    Once I stop this grind to L79 I was going to switch to working on dropping my score, moving up in tier, and take my time during rounds.

    On the other hand, if I got, for example, the L48 TM R1 Driver, would it cut my time spent completing a round down enough that it would be worth the cost, even if I don't care about my scores that much?

    I'm sorry to start another equipment thread but I've pored over old posts and still feel the need to get current feedback.  Thanks very much in advance.

    Level 79 TM SLDR is a great club, long and forgiving.I played the L59 pings until L90, also made legend with them. Played L38 TM ATV wedges until L88, 64, 60, and 56. That 64 is a game changer . To me, there is no other putter then the L70 versa.  Good luck with your choices... Stevie1026

    Driver - Level 48 Taylor Made - Use this till Legend or farther. It can go to level 90 if you are credit dry. 

     

    Irons - Pings G25 at 59. Use these till Legend or 85, whichever is first. 

    Putter - Versa level 70. Best in the game. 

    Wedges - Wait for the level 76-82 Clevelands. Either buy the low level clevelands now and get the 76-82's later or just wait. Don't get ATVs imo. 

    3WD, I'm not sure. But ditch the hybrid for three wedges. 

    Slow down your rounds and think through your shots. It's how you learn.
