Tour Pro Player Club Advice?

  I just turned tour pro and I'm officially not any good anymore. I'm currently level 41. I was looking forward to get the L48 Rapture Irons as I'm getting close to that level, but with moving up to Tour Pro I'm not too sure now. I might need a new driver first now due to the increased distance need. I currently have 1600 credits. The L48 Rapture driver looks to be the best due to comparable distances of other drivers, slower meter and accuracy. 

  Please give me advice on what you have done with moving to Tour Pro and  what might be optimal to get my game in gear. This is my current bag by the way. Thanks in advance.

  Driver: Rapture 245 L24

  3WD: R11 227 L30

  Hybrid: Burner 205 L21

  Irons: Burner 100-188 L13

  Wedges: Z Satin 54/60 L14 

  Putter: Spider

  I'd wait until you become a master, that's where it starts to become tricky.

  thx for the reply. You make a good point. I do have a concern about buying new clubs and then moving up another tier again. This game definitely appears to be a chase. lol I have no idea what will qualify me to the next tier. My game isn't great, but I consider it solid. Others have told me on alt shots that I'm a very good player. Are there any clues to what it will take to move up tiers. I'm currently sitting at 71.44 and level 41.

  More comments and opinions would be appreciated.

  I think master is 67.

  In my opinion, the lvl 29 R11 driver is far superior to the Rapture. However, being you already have the Rapture and both drivers will become obsolete once you hit Master, I hesitate to tell you to upgrade to it. 

  Your most glaring need seems to be your irons. If you want the Raptures, get them. Many people stick with them forever. Like I said, no driver you can buy at you current (or near) level will really be worth owning once you make Master.

  Right now you have a mix of meter speeds. You will make master at 67 avg. Best thing for you to do do is wait until you make master....and level up to I think it is level 58 or 59 then look at full club sets.....that will match ur meter speeds. I would recomend a hard look at the master G10"s.  JMO

  Gene, I agree in theory, but he's got a ways to go. If he doesn't mind spending the credits, the game will be much more enjoyable for him in the mean time.

  You guys/gals are great. Your opinions and knowledge are very much appreciated. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I want to continue to enjoy the game, but feel I am a long way away too wait for Master level clubs. I'm only sitting at level 42 right now and even with the consecutive days played bonus and the occasional drink % help I won't get to master level for quite some time. 

  I've felt like my irons like someone else said are really lacking right now. Imagining going through tireless rounds with my old Burners seems like a drag. 

  I have two thoughts going forward. Go ahead and get the Tour Burner irons L37 200-112 hoping these are a good temporary upgrade or wait 6 more levels and get the Rapture L48's. But then I'm so close to the R9 set which are close to G10's that I covet. LOL Man this game really is a chase for the next biggest and better thing. Paralysis of analysis is setting in...lol again. 

  Thanks again for all your opinions. Feel free to keep'em coming.

  Agree completely. I f you dont mind spending the extra credits....then certainly go ahead and upgrade now. My thoughts were based on saving some credits. I personally have upgraded many times..lol. Getting ready to do so again....burner 2.0's

  buckeye.......Do you have a hard time with the burner club and your irons as far as the meter speed goes? if you dont then think about matching the same meter speed with a driver. irons etc. The rapture is a nice driver but if you want distance you have to deal with a faster meter speed. Just a thought for you to consider.
