    Hey new guy here looking for some advice. I have 416 credits and looking to find if I should purchase a putter or new wedges. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think most people here would say go for wedges. The upgrades are much better than the starters. As far as putters go, I've been using my trusty starter putter since Day One (although I have tried some of the others), and I am just fine with it.

    Yes, you need two good wedges (56 and 60 probably) and a

    putter upgrade.  I am currently playing the Redwood ZB and it

    is helping significantly.  (Pittsburgh Steelers #1)

    The 50 yard satin is the game changing club, and it's cheap.

    Decent wedges make the putts shorter.  :-)

    I found the starter putter to be useless in long putts,
    then I rented a good putter for a day and, well.... see for yourself  :)

    having said that, wedges are a better choice if you have to make one,
    scrambling with the starter wedges is a nightmare

    The OP is still 10 levels away from it, but 29 to 39 ought to fly by.

    I agree and it's well worth the wait.  I would go for the 64 and 60 degree ones first, then when you can afford it, drop the hybrid and get the 54 or 56 one.
