A good 3 wood for my level?

  Would agree on getting even spaced clubs. Since his 3i is 187?, the starter 3wd could fill in at 205.

  PaulTon:

  you should wait until level 59 and get the Ping G-25 high trajectory irons.

  I used the L59 pings too but seeing people really doing well with L64 Nikes. Some even dominating from back tees with those irons.

  Yeah but he's level 51, that's a long slog to get the lvl64 Nikes.

  I will wait for level 59 and in the mean time I will get that 3 wood and try to shave a few shots off my game. I am playing easier courses for now and usually get 5-6 birdies in 18 holes but unfortunately I am getting a few bogies too.

  I just read the last few posts. Did not see them. So I should get a good hybrid instead of the 3 wood? I really love that Cleveland 56 90 yard club it really drops it nicely.

  Hang on for some better advice, it's been so long since I was in your position that I'm not sure what's for the best.

  Just got the level 52 irons for a two hour rental. I like them compared to what I have. But I think I will wait for better ones to get unlocked.

  I agree that waiting for the Ping (L59) irons is the way to go. When I was where you're at, I also had a nice 3 wood. If I recall correctly. it was TaylorMade R15 (L41). I also had the driver you have. So that combination (see below) served me very well and took me to Legend without a problem.

  TaylorMade R1 Driver (L48)
  TaylorMade R15 3 Wood (L41)
  Ping Irons (L59)
  Cleveland wedges
  
  But I didn't upgrade my putter until I got to L70 and got the Versa. In any case, the above worked for me.
  
  Hope this helps!

  Thanks! Until I get those Pings at Level 59 there would be a gap between my current irons 187 yards and 232 for that 3 wood. The level 59 ping irons go to 210 so that would be good. Last night I took out my 220 yard 3W and put in the 205 starter 3W. I made a couple eagles after this switch so I think I'll try it for a bit.
