  On a sidenote,what are these coins again?

  The mobile version uses coins but they're for different things. You still need credits to buy equipment.

  I play strictly on android devices using the WGT app. Is there a way to block those ads?

  The thing is I use the WGT android app so it is not using a browser.

  Hello all I am pretty new to WGT.  I just bought the Ping i25 irons.  I want to know when I would buy a new set  of balls or if I should at all?
  
  Any other product suggestions are helpful I have starter everything else besides the irons and I am lvl 38.  I tried searching the forums but could not find much help on this topic besides do not buy balls that are higher then your clubs, and balls are pricey so not sure which route to go. 

  There is no need to buy more than two of any club if you are patient and wait for the right ones to come along.

  General advice I give to newbies is:

  1) Do not buy any ball more expensive then 65 credits until you have a full set of decent clubs.

  2) Save credits and buy nothing until you have enough credits socked away to by the L48 R-1 driver. Buy it as soon as you can. This driver is playable even as a Legend. Later when in the mid Level 80s you can start thinking about a replacement driver.

  3) Once the credits are socked away for the R-1 when credits allow buy a 60 and 64 degree wedge Clevelands in high level 20s, ATVs in the 30s or Ping in the early 40s). You want a 50 and a 75  or a 60 and 80 yarders. These will be replaced with higher level wedges in the level 70s or 80s.

  4) Replace your starter iron set with either the Max or the Level 50s Ping G-25s and simultaneously buy a 100 yard wedge to complete your set (now is the time to dump the hybrid). Irons will not be replaced until the L 85 VForged are available.

  5) Stay with the starter putter until the Daytona Rossa is available upgrade that no sooner than the Level 70 Versa.

  6) Finally replace the 3 wood with a 230 or 235 yard model. Replace that later when the 240 or 245 models are available and you are in the Legend Tier.

  When you have gotten to past step 4 you can start thinking of using better balls, but remember you still are saving for those higher level clubs so be cautious.

  Following a simple strategy like this you can make and be able to play at the Legend / Tour Legend tier and have gotten there by spending no more than 25,000 credits on all of your clubs.

  That's a good strategy -.please allow a few remarks.

  wedges ... Ping in the early 40s

  I'm afraid that there's no more 64° Ping, and 75+90 yds don't qualify for a strategic buy IMHO.

  You might perhaps also include the option to buy a 3WD as a driver replacement, and the precise levels for the various clubs and their XPs(?)

  I went to the link in my browser and then I chose the option to open in chrome browser but it just opened the google play store in my browser to download from there. I made sure the check box was checked for "unknown sources" and still no luck.
  
  On a side note I found another easy free credit offer so I got the ghost putter, the lvl 41 ping wedge and still have enough for the R1 at lvl 48.  Still have not bought any coins yet :)
