First purchase?

  I was wanting some opinions as to what I should buy first; putter, driver, irons or wedges. I am only a lvl 37 almost 38 pro but am stuggling mightily to improve my scores. Or should I wait until I level up some more and can earn more credits? 

  I've been having fun but it sucks almost never finishing under par. My putting is awful but I am still trying to learn all the tricks.

  Dump the hybrid, get 3 evenly spaced wedges* and a wgt ball with some spin. You'll reduce your average distance to the pin considerably and take some pressure off your putts.

  Good Luck!

  Keep your money, you dont need anything to buy before master level.

  All low level equipements under 50-60 XP are pure BS except the R11 TM 3 Wood  level 30.

  Partly the reason my putting is so bad is because I am so far away from the hole. I am constantly having to make a 15+ ft putt for birdie. Yes I am still trying to learn the greens and short game but surely equipment makes a difference.

  First equipment? My vote goes to two quality short wedges, 50/75 or 60/80 yards long.

  Wait for the third (100 yds) until you have better irons and until there's a better one available.

  Hello Alberich.. 

  i dont like to say that you are talking ***. I bought the R11 L32 steels if i was in this area around, and must say this are great clubs. Anyway im a legend now. Lot of acurated hits i can do in a row. 

  One importend thing is, to know how about clubs is, write down some specials from every green. That helps a lot. Oky i am to lazy to do that, but it works.

  Compa, if you enjoy the game as I do buy clubs as you have the money to invest. A driver with more length will get you closer to the green. New irons will get you closer to the hole and a better putter will help you make more putts. Yes, clubs do make a difference. Good wedges are a must. If you have the money the rll irons are still hard to beat. They will last until you get to legend. The level 49 driver (the 275 yard one) will last until legend also. Get the best wedges you can afford. The nike putter is the best in my opinion because of the speed. Also try and get clubs with the same swing speed. The calloway balls are good enough until you start playing rgs. Just enjoy the game. It is a progression. Let me know if I can help in any way.
