  So after a year of trying I finally was able to get to the master tier, i have some pro level clubs but want the extra distance the master clubs have. What are the best clubs to buy from the pro shop for master tier. I would prefer a slower swing meter than to a few extra yards of distance. PLEASE HELP!!

     Thats where the trouble begins K, Start with the G10's with the GI-D or S ball to slow the meter. Then work your way up to the Tour GI-SD ball if you can. Goodluck. You may use the Raptures but they are not what you want for the back t's. JMO but have been here a week or two:) and seen it all.

      Congrats on the promotion also.

  The little blue duck has it right...

  Realize that for the first little while your scores are going to go to hell in a handbasket... this is normal and all you can do is practice, practice and then practice.  Welcome to Very Fast Greens every game.  Putting is going to suck.... lol

  Don't expect to shoot 'lights-out' for awhile.

  Oh.. and enjoy it. 

  Peace. =)

  Start with the driver. You have 2 choices and both of them will compensate for the added yardage from the back tees. Wait on your irons. Use the driver to get you to where you're familiar already and use the clubs you have to learn the new challenge. Then you'll be able to make an informed decision on the new sticks. GL

  i would agree. upgrading the driver is a great place to start. i havent upgraded my irons in a while, and still use the starter SW,LW and balls. my average shot up to about 71 after making master. After a while you get the hang of it.

  All of that is spot on.  You swing speed on the better clubs will be a bit faster anyway so you will need to get used to it.  My personal piece of advice would be, along with updating your driver as you have, ditch the LW and get the 64 to match your wedge set as that will be so useful when you need accurate shots around the green
