  be patient and wait my friend

  u will spend alot of money if u keep buying clubs as they unlock.. the r11 are an excellent place to start ur mid lvl purchase, they will last u till the better r11 unlock and u want them r11s ... just a friend ly tip ....it also depends on how many games a day ur playing and how long it will take u to get to lvl 32( maybe some super xp booster and nice saturday  of solid  marathon playing u will jump a few lvls )........

  You moved up 26 levels in a week... You can't wait a couple days? sheesh. just play every day for the bonus XP  and get the R11s. I haven't used the irons, but the woods are the best at that level. anything else would be a waste, IMO. the clubs don't get much better till around level 30.

  The R11 driver and wood were part of my primary setup until a couple weeks ago.  I loved them.  Easy to use, and perfect for learning the faster meter.  I think, though, that this thread that I put together would be very useful to you:  http://wgt.com/forums/t/72948.aspx?PageIndex=1 .  I was surprised by many clubs, and you may be, too, so read the reviews even if you weren't considering the particular club.

  My personal favorite for mid-level irons were the L35 G|10s, and they're way cheaper than the R11s.  The G|10s have better stopping power, but the R11s are easier to use.  I can justify using either set, however, based primarily on how good you are with the meter.  If you can ding the R11 driver/wood, though, you should be ok with the G|10s.  Oh, skip the hybrid.  You'll almost never encounter a situation where the 3 wood can't do something close to what a hybrid would.  go for the 3rd wedge instead.  But check out the reviews I did ( http://wgt.com/forums/t/72948.aspx?PageIndex=1 ), I think it'll be helpful.  Perhaps rent something with a high meter speed before free rentals end, too.

  Good luck with whatever you get!

  Good.  I think you'll like them.

  Yes, you do get a discount.   Actually, a pretty deep one, 685 credits. Even then, it'd be less to go with the G|10 irons.

  R11 driver: 1395

  R11 3 Wood: 395

  Skip the hybrid, get 3 wedges.

  G|10 irons: 1100

  That's 2890, which is still 605 less than the R11 full set.  Take the 605 credits you just save and buy some 56, 60, and 64 degree wedges (L38/39 TaylorMade or L41/42 Ping Tour-W) for 600-650 credits.  Which ever you think looks cooler.  I didn't find there was much difference. The distances with the Pings are a little neater, but they have a tighter range if that bothers you at all. For some reason the Satin 64 deg is 250, so ping will be 50 credits less, too.  Personal preference on the wedges, though. It doesn't matter.

  I bought the R11 driver, 3 wood and irons (like an idiot, separate) and love them. I have not played the G10 but you won't be disappointed. The money issue is real, so if you like the G10 irons, maybe them and the R11 driver/3.
