  The lvl 59 g 20's are excellent club but they are 2195 credits. You could wait until lvl 79 and get the burners.

  If credits are an issue, I would hold off until you can get the Ping G20s; they are the only ones with High  trajectory and great  forgiveness at your level. Superb irons; you just have to dial them in since they are not as high trajectory as the R11s or Bladez.  

  Worth  every credit, and I still have mine for when I feel like using lower cost balls or meter issues.

  Good choice and in my bag. I also use drivers that closely match the swing speed of these. If I could only learn from my mistakes I, I might get good at this game.

  like said in the reviews, they are medium clubs and cant hold greens when you need the 3.4.5 irons to stick on the green, g20 lvl 59 are much better.

  oh so trajectory means how easy it is to stick the greens?

  So.for now g20 iron steel 59+lvl is winning.

  Any other suggesstions?

  I currently have enough to buy them, but getting credits is quite tough... gotta have a good day on challenge mode

  This is how I do it being a family of 4 and on a tight budget.

  1)  Patience

  2) More Patience

  3) by doing  occasional surveys and lots of videos

  I split the cost in half or better; I paid out of pocket when I got the G20s only about $7-8.00

  and about $15.00 out of pocket for the R11s which was an even better investment.

  Yes it takes a lot of time without actually playing the game but is well worth the time invested.  

  Hope this helps

  G20s are medium/high but leaning to the high more then anything near your level at the moment. Longer yardage equals less shots to get to the green. Stick better then medium clubs that tend to roll out more; so you have to compensate for that as well.  Precision on G20s is great; even missing the ding slightly I will usually get within 7-10 yards of the flag. And even much closer when dinged. This is were the  forgiveness balances that all out. I usually look for a medium between the 2 attributes for decent clubs. Most importantly is the precision over  forgiveness.

  the higher the trajectory, the shallower the angle is that the the ball hits the green & the sooner it will stop ..

  lvl59 G20 at your lvl is the only choice IMO .. next step will be the lvl79 Bladez, which is a huge step up from the G20's .. they are considered the 2nd best set of irons after the R11's and their trajectory is even higher then the G20's, including the lvl83 G20's ..

  also, the higher the spin rating on your irons & balls, the more spin you can generate in addition to having a high trajectory .. bag the lvl59 G20's for now .. they will last you long
