i'm tour pro and soon i will be level 50... which driver do you suggest me?

I was thinking about rapture V2 (Lv 47) or the burner super fast (Lv52).

I need nice distance and not too fast meter speed with a budget of 1300 credits.

Thanks for all the answers!

My top sugestion would be - wait to level 58 and do a few more surverys and get the G20 that goes 270 yards.

That will rock on the master tee. You won't need to upgrade again until you get to Legend. I used it on the Legend tee for a while and it was a little short at times (but mostly ok), and it's an easy meter to control - 1495 credits.

If you can stretch to the TaylorMade R1 TP 9.0 Driver (Aldila 65-gram shaft) (L48+) it maybe cheaper in the long run because you will be able to use it on the Legend tee and not need to upgrade until you get it's bigger brother!

Of those ones you mentioned I would take the Rapture V2 (Lv 47) above the other one any day. It's far more forgiving, super slow meter and only a few yards shorter.

The only problem with those is you will love it on the pro tee but may struggle with distance on the Master Tee. You are Tour Pro now, so you don't want to burn all your credits on something that will only be good for a few levels.

I had the R11 (252 yards) on master tee (got there at level 40) and sometimes hit the rough off the ding - just could not hit far enough.

On that budget I would go with the Level 47 Rapture. Never tried the L48 R1, but below Legend tees it looks awesome. In my opinion though the first real Legend tee driver is the HL G20. That said the L48 should do the trick (just) until L88 when you may consider the R11, but I suspect you may want the HL G20 on the way, and possibly hold on to that until the HL R11S...Many say they don't care for the L88 R11 due to it's lack of forgiveness. I don't find that that lack of forgiveness to be the deal breaker some do, and enjoy the slight extra guts but obviously The HL R11S at L94 is still a long way off for me and the L88 R11 is serving me OK. Digressed a little but thought worthwhile as you are trying to plan ahead!

All the above said L80 something still a way off for you so who know's what may slip in by then (depending on how much you play etc) ................Decisions................

If you play a good bit I would wait till you hit level 58 as well, it will take a little more in credits but be worth it.

The level 47 Raptures are great clubs, slow meter and you can advance to the master level with them, once you get beyond that you want better stuff so to avoid double buying you might want to hold off. Not sure how quick you level up but it shouldn't take that long to get to level 58.

To JimBOg above, don't buy the level 94 R11S, wait for the level 98 R1. There isn't a huge difference between the R11 and the R11S and you will save a good bit of credits in my opinion.
