What exactly do you think that you can do at 100 that you can't do at 98?
NO tier should give you access to everything. You can be a lvl 50 champion if you want to. Just join a level 3 country club.
play better with better equipment
you can "potentially" play better with better equipment. I rarely use Nike balls because I don't have the talent (or desire to practice enough) to get my monies worth out of their specs. Good equipment helps, but there is a diminishing return on investment. I think that's what Mike was trying to say also...If you already have top tier kit and purchase slightly more expensive kit, it will only improve your game a little, if at all. I would think sticking with the equipment you know and are used to, is probably a better option.
JMHO
ps...It's odd you wanting better clubs, but are using a starter ball.?
