  But if u really want to lower your score think about buying 2 wedges  and buy some balls for extra distance.

  One of these would replace my  Lob wegde and the other my sand wedge?

  Next question-which ones, I bet.   ;-)   The 2 Pings for 110 credits each would be a great addition. Once you get them learn all the shots with them. There are 5 shots with each of them and you will really have good coverage inside 85 yards.

  Right now I am at Pro(Level 28) and I want to upgrade my driver.

  I am using the starter driver that you upgrade to for free in your bag.

  I want to be able to add about 10-20 yds per drive. I currently average 221 per drive.

  Is the TailorMade driver for 600 credits worth it or should I try to get another one?

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  wait till you get to level 29 then rent out the R11 4 a day to try it it wd b a good driver 4 your level

  You're right, Bristoluk, but buster's advice is really good. The OP can get 3 clubs immediately that will improve his game in a number of areas besides off the tee. I only learned from buster's post about the 245 yard Plus driver which is really a good deal and leaves credits left over for the wedges.

  Oh boy, Ladies and Gentlemen-he went for buster's package. 1 driver a 2 wedges later our Professor friend is off to the races!  New toys are always fun. GL to you, Prof.   :-)

  Yes thats what I did. It is going to take me a few days to get used to the meter of the new driver. I wont be playing any ranked rounds for a little while. Once I get the meter down then the sky is the limit.

  I will practice some and play some match play rounds until I get the feel of all my new clubs.

  The 2 wedges and the driver were a steal for the amount I paid for them. All new players should be made aware of this.

  Much thanks to Buster for the idea. Thanks to everyone for their advice.

  Um, the R11 isn't available until 29.  The Tour Pro Plus was available at level 6.  I was using it for 23 levels before I was even eligible to buy the R11.  I also prefer slower meters and the Tour Plus has a much slower meter than the R11.  Pretty simple, really.  A meter that fits me better that I can get 23 levels before the other?

   

  And yes, I was talking the whole set.  I played the Tour Plus full set from level 6 to level 48.

  I just added the Spider Putter to my bag.

  Hopefully I will be able to improve my putting which is getting better.

  I hope the increased forgiveness helps me on some of the putts that I barely miss.

  Anyone else use the spider putter?
