  I am a lvl 87 legend...been playing this game for 5 months now and I don't know what to do when I get to lvl 88...should I stick with my lvl 62 R9, should I buy a lvl 80 R9, or should I get a Taylormade R11 lvl 88...Im a little tight on credits so I don't know what to do...this is an ever-looming problem because right around the corner from lvl 88 is the lvl 90 R11 irons...then the lvl 92 Ghost-Spider...I have only ever used the daytona, starter, and lvl 84 ghost putters so I have no idea what the ghost-spider is...I feel a little silly asking all this because I made legend so I should be pretty good at this game, right?

  IMO  driver driver driver. I had the same driver as you do now & the R-11 is waaaaay better, count on adding 10 yds per drive at least. I use the same putter as you do and asked the same question as you did ( should I upgrade my putter?) most said no & a lot of TM's & Legends use the Rossa. You are like me a long long way to level 90, so maybe we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Hope that helps

  To be perfectly honest with you, If you go with the R11 driver you can't go far wrong. I see that you have the burner 2.00 irons in your bag, and they are perfect for the time being.

  To get to level 90 for the R11 irons you have to get an awful lot of points (and I mean tens of thousands). So you will have Plenty of time to save up for them. But I suggest that you do as soon as you can.

  I hope you are taking advantage of the get free credits options. Whilst I was waiting to accumulate points to get to level 90 thats all I did and saved enough to pay for my R11 irons without spending to much of my own money.

  Hope this helps and believe me, if you do get them they will transform your game. First day with the R11 irons I got a 29 back 9 Kiawah. 

  Happy Golfing

  P.S. I used the Rossa for a long time but have just upgraded to the lvl 66 Ghost Spider. Never looked back. Don't think I will need the lvl92.

  I am tour master lvl 86. L-O-N-G ways from lvl 90. I am saving up and going to get the R-11 driver and irons. I tried a few other putter during the free club rental they had. I use the daytona putter and I am so used to the dist. on them, it was hard to use any other one.

  Get the driver, especially if you are already at legend.  You have a while before you get to L90. (the jump from 89 to 90 is HUGE) So as others have stated, get the driver, save up credits, and you should be ok by the time you get to L90.  The driver and irons make a much bigger difference than the L92 putter...

  Driver Now. Hang onto the Burner 2.0 irons and upgrade your putter when able to.

  Even if you don't use the Nike balls, the burner 2.0's are still quite competitive. Adding the Nike balls makes them even more so.
