  Hey Tueyshio,

  Those Ping G25's at lvl 59 are great clubs.  I used them until I could get the lvl 85 Nike VR's.  I bought the complete set of the Pings, and added the Ping lvl 81 3W to replace the lvl 59 3W.  It was a better match with the lvl 79 TM SLDR driver i bought to replace the Ping driver.  Hang in there and good luck.

  Like David Carradine used to say...."Patience, Grasshopper. "   ;-)

   

  I used to watch that show avidly, I can't remember him talking to himself in it.

  Ok Playa you have 2 options :

  79+ Rocket Bladez 220-125

  Rsi 90+ 225-120 

  Now with the ball that you are using L 40 nike , you can add about 5 -10 yards depending on clubs , course , and winds . Also the ball will slow your meter down from 3.0 to about 3.5 which is what you want .

  Now if you are getting ready to move to Legend tier  either set will do well from the tips . I played the 79+ Bladez as a Legend and then also had the 90+ R11s irons as well .Take in mind that its a good haul from Level 95-97 so you will be awhile . Now if you plan on staying at Tour Master longer then either keep what you have or get the Bladez . You dont need that much fire power from those tees that you will get with the L90 Rsi irons .

  Long term you can play either set to L100 before making another upgrade . By then you will have saved up mad credits and no telling what new clubs will have been added to the game by then .The last thing you want to do is waste credits and chase your tail doing upgrades .

  Hope this helps play well have fun and good luck with your game . :-)

  @ Programplaya

  How close are you to level 96 and the BB Driver?  I ask because the jump in hole distance at Legend is significant.  The current Pinehurst #2 Virtual Championship at Legend Tees has at least 6 par 4's ranging from 540 - 480 yards.  My point being your current 282 yard driver wouldn't work as well paired with Lvl 85 Nikes.

  If meter is the sticking point and you have cash to burn a 700 credit ball should do wonders.  Personally, I play too much and could never afford that which is why I use WGT .43 cent balls.  I'm a Legend player with RSI irons btw, if that makes any difference lol.

  In regards to the RSI's, with 3i-5i missing the Ding left or right with no space between your miss and the Ding normally results in a 2.5 yard or closer shot with perfect distance/wind.  Missing the Ding with a very slight space between will result in a 3-4 yard shot.  Missing the Ding with a visible gap (but not alarmingly so) will result in a 4-5 yard shot.  Higher lofted irons are similar but just slightly (like barely) better.

  To be honest, the more I play the more I realize a 14 foot putt drops just as easily as a 6 foot putt does.  My best scores to date haven't been because I'm within 2-3 yards with 3-7 foot putts every hole.  My best scores have been when I drop every single putt, every hole, regardless if I'm 40 feet away, or 3 feet.

  Not really true. The L85 Nikes can work perfectly when you get to know them. I also own the old R11s and the new L90 TM irons and still prefer (and score better with) the Nikes. Absolutely no need for a 225y 3i on 99% of the holes.

  I'll wait a month and a half for the 287y BB driver and then start learning the new irons, but for now, L85 Nikes cater to my needs perfectly.

  yes the 85 nike irons with 90 nike balls are a great combo.

  r11 with the 90 , 81,61 also very nice

  the new rsi irons seem to work with anything , used 45 cally, 61, 81, 90. nike

  though I did think the 90 ball was too much for the 4.5 spin

  You have a choice !
