What should my next purchase be?

  Four wedges means to drop two woods outta three - a wee bit extreme don't you think? The only case I've heard of this was a Legend's setting for certain CTTH games, not in regular play.

  Forget it.  Look, many many people play 4 wedges. The Pitching wedge which is part of your iron set, the 64 degree 60 degree and 56 degree/4 wedges.

  Forget everything that I recommended & do what MBagese said. Get to where you can play & then buy it I don't know.

  Seeing it this way, I have the same set-up. Wee misunderstanding.

  Regarding MBs proposal, it's always difficult to answer the question "what should I buy?" with "Nothing" - the question arises from a certain discomfort which will lead to a buy normally - to me it seems better to recommend something sensible rather than nothing, perhaps leading to an insensible buy...

  See, the OP is at Pro level.  Starter clubs can easily shoot to a 70 avg from the Pro tees.

  Why spend money on something not yet needed?

  Hence why I said "Buy nothing until you get your average down" or similar.

  I see you have bought new clubs now work for another wedge and stop playing those WGT cue balls. Even the 10 credit balls are better.

  I appreciate this opinion, having done so until hitting TP. I had this mission statement: "Stay with the starters as long as you can stand it."

  Alas, advancement is a wee bit slow and uncomfortable at times.

  My experience leads to these necessary buys:

  - 1 or 2 wedges for more precision in short play,

  - driver or wood for more length and precision from the tee (and fairway).

  Irons and the rest are up to each player, being a budgetary issue.

  The last club to change would be a putter IMHO. Custom balls would do more for the game.

  I need advice from you experts of WGT! I have some game...I'm pretty good at this game and I've only been at it for about a month. I have accrued some credits and I've already bought a driver and a putter and I'm very happy with both. What should I buy next? If you tell me wedges tell me why the wedges...I want to buy irons next but I just can't decide which is more important. And what's last? The 3W? The hybrid? So many possibilities...

  I guess everyone who responded are experts LMFAO.

  Buy a new car :)
