    Buy some wedges definitely. A lot of the best players have 3 wedges in their bag - evenly spaced distance wise as suggested above (they exclude a fairway wood).

    Also learn the Flop shot. It takes a while to get the hang of, but its good for chips from rough and bunker shots close to the hole. You can only play them with wedges so the point above is still relevant.

    Putters - I am not so convinced about. I've bought pretty much every one on the way up, and as to whether they have improved my game, I am not convinced.

    What improves your putting is practice. When you have played a whole lot of rounds, you will no doubt have had the same putt (or the same line) a number of times. If you miss it left one time, you know to aim further right the next etc.

    However if you are determined to buy one, the daytona is probably best (you will need a few more credits though). But remember you will have it for the rest of your WGT career.

    The important thing to remember about putters is what are the decrements from 30 ft down and do they match up to the putts you are normally having.

    If you are consistently putting from more than 30ft, then you need to work on your approach shots, but that's another post altogether.

    flogomatic:

    for the record i bought the 9.5 Driver and the 54 & 60 wedges (satins)

    the wedges are fantastic thus far

    Am real happy with my K15 driver and 3-wood. Good distance to meter speed trade off.

    I agree about not buying the Ghost Spider putter.  I should have rented it before buying it.  I've rented other putters but frankly the Starter putter works best for me.  The swing meter speed is perfect, and I'm used to the 30 feet minimum distance setting.  I bought the Ghost putter and tried it for a few rounds and seldom hit the exact mark on the distance meter - too fast for me.  I haven't even looked at or tried other balls than a free trial on the vapor trail.  What balls do you recommend - would love to get more spin. I have all the Ping Rapture clubs - Driver, 3 Wood, Hybrid, and Irons - love them.  My game has improved significantly since buying.

    ? how can the golf balls slow down the swing meter?  If so, which balls do you recommend?  Do you get to keep them permanently, or are they only good for so many rounds?  thanks.

    The balls have Spin-Distance-Feel-Durability. The Feel is what slows the meter down

    I've never bought balls.  How many rounds does a 3-pack (or each ball) last?
