BoscoMelano: Hoping maybe someone could explain to me why I see so many high level players that prefer to use the starter irons and wedges.
I too have seen some high level players (lvl 70-90) playing purely with starter equipment. Some just love playing the game, play for fun and have no intention of spending money to buy virtual clubs that you never actually own. Some countries it is also next to impossible to accumulate free credits to upgrade equipment.
I occasionally revert to starters for fun, play like crap but have a good laugh, As for the wedges, they are the nearly the worst clubs ( EZ Swing are diabolical) but I didn't mind the putter - in fact 10 feet and under was good, over that it is very wonky lol.
Regardless of what clubs you use, you can still set your own goals, so I guess perhaps they set their own targets that they try to acheive.
