  1. The distance stated on the clubs, example my driver is 252yards, is that using the starter ball, no wind, middle of the ball spin dot and a perfectly flat fairway?

  2. I'm running out of callaways and don't have credits to buy balls, how far can I go using the starter ball? I'd like to make TourMaster (well legend but 1 step at a time) so I'll need an average of 63. Is it possible using the starter ball? Is it just a matter of getting used to the run-on and meter speed?

  3. Can I get there without upgrading my clubs from what I currently use? R11 set (level32?). 93yard TM wedge, 75+60clevelands (low level) and Ghost Spider L35 and the starter ball.

  I'm am a US resident but am currently in SEA so don't have any survey options, rarely able to watch the videos and have only 8 offers (of which 3 are AVG). Getting a credit card here is near impossible. Sorry, just saying why I don't have credits before someone says 'do the surveys' etc.

  With my limited experience, and abilities I shall try to answer your queries.

  1. Yes, basically.  Any purchased ball will change the abilities to a specific degree.  You can use top and back spin to adjust the distance also.  Use back spin with tailwinds.

  2. Yes. but very difficult.  People do it but i don't recommend it.

  3. Yes!  Of course better equipment will make it easier.

  4. Don't have a clue.

  Hope this information helps.  I'm sure many of our more experienced players (Read, really good) will be makeing comments and suggestions differant than mine.  Best of luck.  Free this time.

  If I sold my putter I would get 200 credits (it was a gift from a generous friend), I could then buy 4 packs GI2-S balls (I have 50credits currently) which would last quite a few rounds. Do you think its worthwhile? I would be using the started putter and I've played me 2 TourMasters before who used it.

  I prefer a spin ball to a distance ball and the GI2-S has 2 dots of feel which would help me with the meter.

  I wouldn't sell the putter.  Use the starter balls for now and use part of your time watching the free videos and doing surveys to get additional credits.

  Thats the problem, where I am we have no access to the surveys and I get the free videos 1 day a week, if I'm lucky.

  Don't want people to think this is a begging post. I don't want anything but advice thx. I'll want to make to the high tiers under my own steam.

  Don't sell any of your best equipment in use - you'll need it when you advance!

  Some ball sleeves might make you happy for a week or a month, and then you'd fall back to Starter balls anyway, needing a multitude of the bucks to get the clubs back.

  A hard time may come up to you, but imagine the expenses you'd have if you hit Legend.

  Have fun!

  you are doing good you shot a 28 on the 5th day you played.  You should be giving us tips.

  5th day, not 5th round. Practise rounds are used, in fact thats what 'WGT Recommends'. If you look at my score history you'll see a 2 week gap (approx) yet 9/18 holes were played everyday. When I played again my score history got even better. I even shot a 59 on a multi-play monthly tournament (I had entered as amateur and played up to TourPro with my current equipment), don't worry I won 13 credits. I don't play challenge games, ready go's or pay-to-play of any sort, I do enter the free stroke play tournaments and I have in my career won a total of 80 credits roughly.

  If your trying to suggest I'm a cheat or multi accounter please contact WGT. I'm sure they'll put your mind at rest. If not, shut up.
