  Do you use the Pro Shop Equipment Tables provided by user ScottHope?  He has an updated link on his profile page.  Lists everything in the pro shop with all costs, levels, and attributes.

  Be patient.  Free rental weekend will come.  Other comments:

  1. Your driver is great as a TM.  No need to upgrade before Legend.  (LATER EDIT: I owned it until level 93 when I bought the level 98 Taylor on a 5 level discount, and I was a Legend at level 85.)  You can friend me on intricate details between level 98 and level 103 Taylor drivers.  Some great players prefer the top Callaway.

  2. Irons, ditto.  The level 100 Nike (now Callaway) is it, so just pile up the xp points.

  3. Your wedges are a mess.  I believe players need 1 consistent set and learn to play with them.  My preference is the level 70's Clevelands, others prefer the Taylors.  Spend your time on free rental there.

  I agree with everything that has been said above. 
  
  The reality is that if you search the boards and read the advice that's readily available, you really don't need to worry about ever renting clubs (free or otherwise).

  My guess for the next free rental is Master's weekend, but who knows.

  Good advice on the clubs, except that a mixture of wedges - chosen wisely - is o.k., since they all have about the same swing speed.

  My prime focus is on the low end of the wedges. There should be a short one of 50 or 60 yds in your bag to ease the short game around the greens. Next, make sure a nice and even spacing between your wedges below the PW. Including the punch shots, this provides a bunch of options.

  Of course, quality pays off. The top products of Max, Cleveland and ATV have their followers though being a tad pricey.

  Plus, there may be a chance of amelioration in the ball. I suspect that "Hack" Max ball to be expensive for being slow and available early but not to have the best overall performance for the money. For example, try the L33 Callaway!

  Tom, i've tried that Nike iron set, long time ago, the best set i have ever tried. Over the free rentals this year, i have tested that Callie iron set, not so great as Nike was
