  The Rbladez are far superior in distance, spin and precision ...

  But like blades in real life, if you hit the sweet spot, you get an awesome shot ...

  If you're off just a hair, not too bad ...

  Off more than that and there's not much foregiveness ...

  I wish my R11's had the same meter speed though...

  I do miss that ...

  I'm looking at both these sets now but my question is:

  With the clubs I have now (if anyone wants to check them out), what should I get to replace the WTD 3W if I got either set?

  (ie. if I was to get the bladz, what would be best between them and the G20 driver I have now, and the same question for the G20 irons?  I'm not interested in upgrading the driver at this time.)

  Of course, if it turned out to be the same club, I'd end up sitting on the fence again LOL.

  BTW I seem to adapt well to different meter speeds, so that's probably not an issue.

  TIA

  Get the Bladez and drop the fairway woods all together. Until you reach Legend tees the best set up would be adding the 115yd Cleveland wedge to fill the gap between the 125 yd PW of the Bladez and the 100 yd Cleveland.  Even from the tips on certain courses is still a good setup.

  I konw i have problem with english lol  but one week later, nobody answer... one more time...

  I use  only the starters balls to play,  the meter of the rocketblades  is not to quick  when using only this kind of balls ?

  I'm now level 78 and the choise approaches, i take the rocketblades  or the G20, 4 levels later when using starters balls ?

  You plan on using the starter balls forever? Then I would pick the G20's, meter is slower and the club is more forgiving.

  +1 . The roketbladz are faster than you think . So if you plan on playing with the starter balls forever , then go with the G20s . Otherwise you will be in for a big surprise. Happy Swinging

  Thank you Tightrope and lonniescott

  I was thinking the same,  the rocketblade look slightly better than the G20 but with starters balls  little to quick to control the metter  with accuracy.

  Maybe i have a solution if i buy the rocketblade, i use it  with balls not too expensive too  reduce a little the quickness of the metter, when  i try ready go, tournament etc and for  less important game i play with my G20 level59.

  But i hesitate long time ago i  want the  iron set G20 level83 when i arrive at that level  but i see this   topic and i hesitate  with the rocketblade 

  i'm losing my last hairs with this game lol

  Hi Michel,

  I agree the G20s are great clubs, I used them for a long time,slower meter and more forgiving than the Bladez. Having said that I did try the bladez and they are very good but a very quick meter speed, especially if you plan to use starters balls.

  The downside of switching to other balls for RG etc, is you will have variances in spin and distance - which may ruin your game. The problem using starters balls is that you will never get the best out of any clubs. By using virtually any other ball you will notice a slower meter speed and will get more spin. The Tour SD ball at 65 cr (I think) will offer  a big improvement on the starters ball IMO and will not break the bank if you can scrape in a couple ofsurveys and video views.

  Better balls will make bigger difference than changing clubs. I'd suggest you try to find a decent ball that has some spin and see if you can get the economy to work out. Playing consistently with something other than the wooden defaults would definitely give you better result in the RG's.

  Well I hit level 79 last week some time and got these.  I mapped the clubs shooting multiple shots with full back spin and no spin to get the yardages down just right.  So far I don't like these clubs at all.  The yardage is too random especially on the 3-5 iron.  In my mapping the yardage can be a 15 yard difference on the 3iron even on a ding.  How am I supposed to determine which yardage to play when it's so randomized?

  It also seems like there is less forgiveness than my level 59 G20's even though there is 1/2 bar more.  I feel like I'm playing a driver into every green making it nearly impossible to get close.

  I've only been playing once a day now because of this.
