  +1!

  This Starter/Beginner equipment has a very(!) low flight curve and very little spin effect.

  Some hints to you:

  First of all and most important, get rid of that SWING LW!!!

  While you're at it, look for "Beginner" clubs in your inventory, they might be a little better than the Starters.

  If you're interested in saving credits, replace the Callaways by decent WGT balls, e.g. the Tour-SD. They accept less spin and have a bit of a faster meter but they play at 25% of the costs.

  Consider to buy some custom wedges. The Pings of your level are a fair deal.

  Be reluctant to change the Beginner putter - I've seen Legends use it!

  wrong, you can have Cleveland wedges using a starter ball and get 0 spin.

   

  you do need SPIN balls and you do need better than starter equipment Wedges.

   

  Wedges should be any players first club purchase, you need to get close to the pin for some consistent short putting. 

  However, wedges alone wityhout a GI ball as a minimum, wont have much effect.

  GI3-S

  Srixons (spin balls)

  Callaway L33 (spin Balls)

   I avoid 'D' balls - distance balls. Their extra distance isnt refelcted in the caddy and they usually have less spin. Its not distance you want, its control.

  IMO
