    Hi, im currently in master tier level 71 and I'm averaging 225 yd per drive (Which obviously isn't good enough for master tier) ,so i wanted some advice on which driver should I pick and also balls that  are not rolling fast and are good in general My budget is 4,274 credit so plenty of choices but not sure if I need to wait into next level because more choices.  PS I want to purchase new driver  & balls so that I can comfortably progress into tour master and legend also, feel free to comment below Many Thanks.

    Very patient for you to hold out that long must have been tough with that 225 yard driver.

    i was at my 3rd one at that time lol.

    if you wait just a little longer my first choice would be

    1) Taylormade M1 9.0 Driver (2995 credits)

    or

    2) Callaway X2 Hot 9.0 Driver (2495 credits)

    as far as Balls go here are some I like

    really depends on your preference as to meterspeed Spin and cost.

    1) Callaway Chrome Softball (L33) good properties at low cost (250 credits)

    2) Wgt Allianz Vapor Ball (200 credits) a little less for cheaper.

    You may not even need that much for now, i think there are a lot of cheaper balls that may work just fine for you at this point.

    The thing with balls is find the meterspeed that works well for you, slower and more expensive usually is not allways best.

    Once you Know look for the highest Spin Ball that suits your budget.

    You may want to hold off for the next free Rental time to test out your favoreds before you spend.

    Good Luck and happy hitting

    Sparky, good that you have gotten this far with what you have - kudos

    Most everybody will suggest you get a Driver that is rated High Loft - meter speed is probably next in conversation - a speed that will match other equipment you have

    Don't discount the value of wedges - all Pros (Real and Virtual) will say it adds more value because good short game makes for shorter putt. I liked the L39 TaylorMade - and they were less $$ than the Clevelands if that is an issue

    The next Free Rental weekend would be a great time to check

    Balls matter also, but I would suggest the L11 Srixon (180cr) and the L33 Callys (200cr) as a starting point

    Lastly, check the leader boards and see what equipment others use - especially those at your same Level 71 - that would give some good ideas

    Good Luck  and happy shopping

    Luciano
