Upgrade help

  I'm currently a Tour Master at Level 73, and I haven't upgraded any of my equipment for a while now.  I'm trying to decide when and what needs upgrading next.  I currently use:

  TM R1 (L48) driver

  Callaway Big Bertha 3 (L19) fairway wood

  Ping G25 (L59) irons

  Ping Gorge 52deg (L41) wedge

  Ping Gorge 60deg (L42) wedge

  Cleveland CG16 64deg (L31) wedge

  Nike Method 001 (L51) putter

  I've been buying the Callaway Hex Chrome (L33) balls for a while now.  (I've probably spent more money on balls than all of the other equipment I have.)

  Should I quit buying balls for a while and save up credits to upgrade my equipment?  I feel like the balls do help my scores, but they really eat up credits.  If I should be looking to upgrade my clubs, where do I start?

  I see not much to do now - becoming Legend will change everything, and some good equipment needs higher levels.

  You might get a better 3WD - perhaps Ping G25.

  The Cally is a good choice - I use it myself. To save on balls, try the Srixon (180 cr) or the  Tour-SD @65 cr. Lesser quality than the Cally, but big savings.

   

  Which are the yardages of the wedges, including your PW? Are they evenly spaced, fitting well together?

  How does the Cleve wedge work concerning precision and roll? Does it have a decent Flop shot?

  (Don't change now, as the better alternatives come with lvl79 - the "big" Cleves.)
