    were those the lvl 32/33 raptures or lvl 47

    Go for the ones you can get NOW, it will improve your game!

    Then you also really need a better driver, Ping Rapture there for you too

    I don't mean to hijack someones thread, so forgive me for not knowing where to ask yet. But someone posted in this thread that you get EXP points if you login every day to receive the 880 XPs. My question is how many days do you have to log in consecutively to get those points? Again forgive me if I should have posted it here. I'm new learing my way around.

    PS... You don't get XP points for logging in.. You get them for completing at least 1 game within a 24hr time period. A trick I learned was if you do not have the time to play and complete a round. Go to courses under WGT Community complete 1 hole and you will get the XP points for that day.

    Caution the consecutive day points change at I believe 7pm so you have until 7pm the next day to complete one before you lose your consecutive day bonus and have it restart the 6 day cycle.

    Agree about the single hole play. Another shortish option is to play 3 holes practice on any course.

    That's the count in EST.

    This clock is in UTC which equals GMT. Midnight GMT is defined as the "new day".

    One of three clocks relevant in WGT.

    Just realized I never reposted back to this thread with ultimately what I decided to do, as I got a lot of good feedback. I did a combination of things and feel it has worked out pretty well.

    I decided to get the K15s.  They had same slow meter as the raptures with  a tad more forgiveness and a bit more distance in some areas.  I got driver, 3wd, irons. I already had the 3 clevland wedges which matched perfectly with the irons(my PW being at 105 my 56 at 90yds, 60 at 75 and 64 degree at 60).  I actually never bought a putter and I am contemplating that now.  I also did go ahead and start buying sleeves of the 10 credit B-ES balls.  Great suggestion as they do make a pretty nice difference over the starter ball for virtually nothing. I also got a sleeve of Srixons ZStar XV for winning some contest.  Although, they give me some more distance I actually find that I am more consistent with the meter with the 10 credit balls then with the Srixons, probably just me, but just what ive found.

    Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I like the K15s, they have a good trajectory, the meter is slow like the starter clubs, so an easy transition and as I said before, paired with the ES balls, i am extremely consistent in hitting fwys and GIR

    My results:

    As I said in OP I wanted to enter RG's and I have.  I have only been playing the RGs.  I played 6 RGs at the Pro level (2 Cabo 9, St And 18, Cong 18, Kia 18 and Oak 9)  I invested 900 credits to play these tourneys and I got back 1729, so almost 2 credits for every credit invested.  I have obviously gone up to Tour Pro now and have played and been paid on 6 RGs and have 2 pending.  Of the 6 I have been paid on I invested 700 credits and have received 1657 back so better than 2-1.  The two pending tourneys are a cabo 9 that I scored -4 or 5 cant remember so i am pretty sure I will rank top 10 there and at least make 200cr on 100 and the other being a Kiawah 9 that I shot a 29 on, so pretty sure that will be top 3 bringing in 300-600. 

    Since buying the clubs my best 9 hole is that 29 and my best 18 was a 62, both of which came with the 10cr balls. I used up the srixons, but found i would shoot 33-34 on 9 and around 68-70 on 18, hence, my reasoning for feeling more consistent with the meter with the ES balls.

    My goal now being to have enough to be able to upgrade to those 58/59 G20s. It will be a race against not leveling up before having enough to do so, so that I can stay  competitive  at the Master level. I did read it is around 30 ranked rounds at the TP lvl and I only have 8, but I know nothing is set in stone, so ill just keep plugging away hoping that i hit my goal.

    At any rate, I have come pretty close to covering what I paid for the clubs, so in that sense I think they were worth it, for me.

    scratch that....after i won one of those pending ready gos and came in 2nd on the other, the pwers that be deemed that somehow after only 8 ranked tour pro rounds and only being at level 47 i somehow qualify for Master.  Somehow i suspected it would happen as I alluded to.  Must not want me to make too many more credits for fear that I wouldn't actually have to spend my own money to upgrade.

    Not complaining but have to say I disagree with it. I don't even have available to me equipment that makes me  competitive  at the Master/TM yardage.  I will basically have to play practice rounds etc and wait  till  i am at level 58/59 to get the g20s.  Luckily I have 3500 credits so I should be able to get the driver 3wd, then go back to the RGs and get the irons.  

    Funny If i played  practice  rounds and just  leveled  first and stayed at the pro tier and just  knowing  i would hit Master, some would consider that sandbagging, but if i level to master than have to do it cuz forced to, that somehow isn't

    Still love the k15s and would recommend them to those that want a slow meter. Can't wait to move to the G20s.  Should be an interesting ride

    That's what I'm doing, I won't go near RGs (too many mutlis and sandbaggers) or MP or tournaments until I'm at least Master / Tour Master and I have the equipment to go with it. Also tournaments come with tournament speed greens and I'm a tour pro so used to very fast greens I don't want to try and learn two different green speeds, so I'll wait until I'm using tournament speed greens anyway before I enter tournaments. If you stick to Stroke play your average comes down according to your skill and your level goes up at an equitable rate. Unless of course you are a multi who already knows how to play, or you have a level of skill some orders of magnitude greater than mine.

    The "sandbaggers" will also be there in higher tiers... Thus we either are good enough to compete or we are not - I ain't.

     

    Several errors concerning green speeds:

    - regular tournaments are on tier-related speeds, i.e. in a Weekly or Monthly we should experience "our" green speed. Furtheron, you get double basic XPs in tournaments.

    - you better get some practice on other speeds, because

    1) Green speeds vary in tournaments,

    2) you will tier up to another speed eventually,

    3) once you play Multiplayer games, the speed will depend on the highest tier in the group - be prepared.
