Only magic if you consider extra XP points % per round and extra power out of the rough magic to be magical. How long it will take you to level it up from L9 to L10 (912 more R&D points to go from L9 to L10) will depend strictly on how many coin games you play and if you use Max as your sponsor during those coin games.
Most people I know prefer to go with the Swing Edge hat to increase driver distance and Max polo shirt to increase 3wd distance. A lot of us don't want our iron distances or rough/sand calculations messed with so we don't bother with anything for iron distance or sweet spot. I go with Swing Edge hat (extra driver distance), Swing Edge glove (slower driver meter speed and larger driver sweet spot), Max shoes (extra coin earnings % and putting forgiveness), Max polo (extra 3wd distance and more XP earnings %), Clayton Mills trousers (extra putting precision and putter sweet spot accuracy).
