  this has distance that I am interested in. I am at level 35 and plan on saving enough coins by the time I get there. R1TP 9.0 is the model. I welcome any thoughts on this club or others. Thanks!

  Hey darktone. I highly recommend the lvl48 TM driver. For me it was a game changer and stayed with me until I reached the legend tier and beyond. I eventually switched to the driver I have now but only because the ball flight is higher and I'm able to stop it quicker, not because it was much longer. I often see legends+ today still using the lvl48 TM and doing fine from the back tees. Enjoy the game and the journey, and happy swingin n dingin. 

  Cheers,
  Mick

  Absolutely get that club the moment you hit Level 48. It will completely change your game -- once you get used to the extra length. Don't waste any credits on a lesser club in the meantime.

  Thanks guys! That was what I was hoping to hear. I don't want to watch any more videos than I have to. Lol

  I see you've already decided. But I also wanted to post: absolutely get that driver. As mentioned above, it's a game changer. It's a fantastic club.

  Are there any other clubs that are out and out game changer like this club? A putter that is top dog( I can't afford the 400,000 one though lol)

  I would have to say the cleveland wedges. Check out the clubs top players are using and the top players in your tier and I almost guarantee they will be carrying three wedges that are evenly spaced in yardages. Learn the wedges and their punching abilities and you will be shooting solid scores. I also found that matching meter speeds on clubs helps with consistency. Good luck mate.

  I tried a couple of putters rather early, but ditched them to stay with the starter putter until I got to Level 70. Then I got the Odyssey Versa. That's a great putter. If I were you, I would stick with what you have until then. But others take a different approach.
  
  The other real game changer are decent wedges. Personally, I love the Cleveland wedges. You should get rid of the hybrid and go with 3 wedges (56, 60, and 64). The Cleveland wedges at around Levels 27-31 are tremendous and will serve you well for a long time. Those will do more for your game than anything else. In fact, the wedges will improve your putting. :-)  
  
  For a 3 wood, the TaylorMade R15 (L41) is a great fairway wood. It has nice distance and is very forgiving.  
  
  Then when you get to Level 59, pick the Ping G25 irons. Until you hit the higher levels, those Ping irons are the best irons out there.
  
  For now, get the wedges. They'll transform your game.

  Best driver I have found is the Nike. I had Ping and TM & Cobra . These did not come close to the Nike driver.
