+1!
Daley, you obviously are on comeback after a long time, having been promoted to TP by WGT when they changed the level&tier system back in 2010.
As Fubar said, take your time to adapt. Other than before, the better equipment becomes available for higher levels, i.e. more XPs. The Continuous Days Played bonus is a great source for that! With that, be sure to hit a new level almost every day for a while!
My general view of buying in the levelled equipment world is:
Low level buys tend to become pointless too soon. Whatever you want to buy, look out for the possible better equipment available at a higher level. In general, unless the
need for a change is irresistible,
- do not start to buy wedges before level 18,
- do not start to buy a putter before level 30,
- do not start to buy woods and irons before level 47/48,
- start buying balls as a Tour Pro, work your way through the list from
cheap to expensive. Try to avoid using a ball with higher level than your
main clubs.
Having said this, I'd recommend for you:
- buy two short wedges (from Ping up). The third one, which Courteney proposed, may become helpful when you drop your Starter irons.
- save credits, play with a cheaper ball, maybe Srixon or Tour-SD.
Have fun!
N.B. Your average has an uncommon value IMHO. After one TP game, it should be this exactly, i.e. 2x38 = 76. Can't imagine why it's 70?
