    I finally got the R1 (lvl48) and love it. At lvl 55 I want the Rossa putter. Should I go for irons, better wedges or a nice 3 Wood before I get that putter?

    What part of your game needs the most work?  Everyone plays somewhat different.  How well a person can deal with a faster meter speed makes a difference.  You have an advantage if you can consistently ding with clubs that are 2.5 meter speed with a ball with little or no meter speed enhanced value (in other words, cheaper).

    Try tracking your stats for a lot of complete stroke play 9 and 18 hole rounds.  At least 20-30.  Look at your average distance to the pin, your total putts, average distance putts made, putts/hole, and longest putt.  How are your sand save and scrambling percentages?  Greens in regulation, and driving average and accuracy?

    These things will point the way to where you need help.  Also try some of the WGT balls if you're still using the started ball.  I often play with a G13 S vapor ball (pink, 129 cr) and have shot some of my best scores with it.  It's about 1/2 the cost of Callaway L37 Vapor ball (with a little bit less enhancement).  I like the Cally also, and often use it in tournaments where the wind is high, or where I want a little more spin.

    If you do this, then you will know what you need, and if  better equipment is the answer.  When i went from the Lvl 30's TM ATV wedges to the CW 588's at the lvl 70's, it probably cut at least 3 strokes of my game.

    One point, better irons will give you a little bit more spin.  I just went from lvl 59 Ping G25's to lvl 85 Nike VR's.  I'm finding that the Nikes will often hold greens better with the long irons than the Pings did.

    Try these things, and then post again saying where you need help.  Also, send me a friend request if you want to chat about it privately.  I hope this helps.

    Hit them where you're aiming.

    What ever yo do,get rid of that crappy level 19 Spider Putter now! Even if it is to go back to the starter until you can get the Rossa. But in my opinion The level 35 Ghost Spider putter is as good if not better than the Rossa and is only 75 credits more expensive than the Rossa. 

    It has 0.5 less precision but makes up for it with 1.0 more forgiveness and has a slower meter.

    I agree with borntobesting.  I used that Ghost spider until I could get the lvl 70 versa #1.

    Do you think that the Starter putter is better than the Spider? Don't think so. I always recommend NOT to buy the Spider, but I assume that it has some effect when purchased. Switch back - why?

    I'd see a priority effort necessary in the remaining Starter equipment, 3WD and Irons, and the Wedges next.

    With time and reflection it is my view that a player, regardless of level, should own and upgrade to the very best wedges and putter they can get, and play with the best balls they can afford. Give it your full attention. Also, get a driver you can bomb it with...likewise with 3-wood.....The Versa putters (all) are the most expensive for a reason...if you want the best, it comes with a price.  ;-}

    Well Rossa is ok, but many other putters out there that others feel are better.

    But Op keep posting when you feel like upgrading, always good advice out there.

    Hey Dave. You are correct, the Daytona Rossa is one great putter. It helped me big time for a long time. I was flabbergasted when I got the L70 Versa. Right off the bat it was better. I kid you not. It is just like putting with the Rossa, no interruptions, nothing except more putts going in. ;-}
