Hi guys,

Been hanging around the forums for years but have yet to post anything meaningful ;-)

I just got some creds and would like some advice from the pros with regards which clubs to upgrade. I'm currently a Master @ level 67 and bought several clubs not too long ago, but I feel I'm lagging behind when it comes to accuracy and forgiveness, as well as distance. My current setup is as follows:

Ping Rapture V2 2010 Woods and irons (lvl 47+)

Cleveland CG16 56 and 64 wedges

TaylorMade Ghost Spider Putter (lvl 35+)

I've have quite a lot of creds and am willing to invest if i can get some help making the final decision.

Thanks to all in advance

Me too!

Dump the hybrid for a third wedge, that's a must.

G-20 irons, high trajectory, you'll see a big difference.

Wait for a few more opinions though, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

You're welcome to use my equipment tables to assist your decision dmpcs. The sort and filter buttons in the top row of each column are very useful.

↓↓ EDIT : Thanks dmpcs, you're very welcome. ↓↓

For the driver the Callaway xhot looks pretty good

And if you can handle a faster meter you could wait until level 69 and get the Ping I5 Iron set.

The I15's are very good irons with good overall stats.

And i agree with the person who said lose the hybrid and add a 3rd wedge. I would get the Cleveland 60 degree to go with the 2 Cleveland wedges that you have.

If you like the level 35 Ghost Spider the Level 66 Ghost Spider would be a good upgrade except it does have a faster meter than the level 35 does.

That seems to be my problem; I'm not a great 'dinger' so I'm looking for forgiveness.

@ScottHope thanks for a great table - I was just looking for that, as well as for advice from those who have used the clubs.

I'll wait it out a couple more days to see if anyone else has anything else to add before I splash the cash...

Drivers - G20 L59 goes 270, the X2 Hot (L72) is kinda pricy, but goes 280 with the same trajectory. i15 meter speed is too fast. The X-Hot is a good idea as well.

Woods - G20 again, or X2 Hot (L73), goes 240, 5 yards further than that G20, with more forgiveness.

Irons - G20s until L83, L85, or L90 (big G20s, mid-level Nike V-Fogred, and big R11s).

Wedges - The other CG16s open starting at 74, though no one really needs one until 76. Wait for this one. If you want 3 wedges, get a 60W (L42/L60) Ping, L29 CG16, or the L39/L64 ATV.

Putter - Suprised no one mentioned the Max Control Master putter, it has lots of settings, and will be fine until L96 if you want the Versa. The one at L70 is good I've heard as well, all have the same balance (4.5), and that one has the very slow meter speed.

Again, thanks for the great advice.

I rented the MAX Control Putter Master for a day and was sold within 2 rounds!

Bought a CG16 60° as recommended and replaced the hybrid with it.

Am now thinking of waiting till lvl 72 (not too far) and buying the X2 Hot. Am still waiting for some more definitive advice re irons - i am not a dinger so I need the distance and precision.

Thanks yet again

Your 2 best choices would be ;

Full set G20s L59+ 3,995 credits

Cally x2 Hot set L 74+4,935 credits

From Master tier either would be a good choice . In choosing , make sure you look at your wedges , and see how they will back up either set . Start with the p/w and work backward . You will want your wedge gap to be 15 - 20 yards apart , as the rule . Hope this helps . :-)
