  When i buy new golf clubs, what does the swing meter speed represent a lot? I see beginners as near the left side of the circle. I'm assuming that is fast, is the right side slower swing meter speed? I am about to buy some clubs but i see some that are halfway between left and right side. People say the clubs are fast in the description, im thinking on buying iron sets: ping steel 17+ or ping graphing 22+ or g10, all of them have to meter on the top middle, no idea if fast or not. 

   

  Suggestions wanted on iron sets less than 1200 credits under level 40 and which swing meter direction or recommended amounts are

  Wrong, its like a car speedometer, left is slow, right is fast.

  Basically you are showing an aptitude to this game and will advance quickly. Buying any clubs at your level, you will outgrow them quickly so my advice is to wait. Certainly a couple of wedges will help but much better wedges that will last become available in the mid-late thirty levels, and these would improve your game a lot,

  Any irons purchased now will be a waste o money IMO so try and earn as many credits as you can and get at least the higher level Raptures or even G20s (preferred option) if you can wait.

  In the meantime try and learn the game as much as you can, level up and enjoy.

  Final point, I always went for the "slow meter speed clubs" at lower levels, but with practice the faster meter clubs are generally going to be required in time, so don't be put off by the faster meter (and you can buy slower meter balls to offset this).

  Yes.

   

  Don't worry though, you'll get the hang of a faster meter in short order.

  As MB says, looked like you hung on the third hole, but anytime you want a hit just ask, or advice. The community here is one f the real assets to the game, and most players are willing to help the new players.

  Sadly on of those things, I have a few things to do in the office, if you are available then I will re-invite (about an hour)

  Edit: Yes a nine hole ranked round counts towards tiering up. Practice rounds like the one we started do not, nor do blitz, etc

  this game is so inconsistent. you hit it perfect and ifts 40 yrds or is short 50 yds...not very realistic

  And after 19 ranked rounds, may I ask what  you base your views on?

  Secondly, what have you done to try and improve your game? Very little I imagine. Not a great first post IMHO,
