  Hi

   

  I've been playing this wonderful golf game now solid for a week in which I've really started to get the hang of it.  I've made my way to lvl 30 on the beginner clubs but now realise they are slightly holding me back on the longer courses.  I'm sure I've got sub 60 rounds in me now, if I just had the right equipment.  

   

  I've only got a few credits at the moment, but as soon as I hit lvl 40ish I'll be investing in a new Driver and a shiny set of Irons.  Would you say it's better to go for higher precision or higher forgiveness?  I'm not to bad at getting close to the ding regularly, but of course on beginner clubs which has a very slow meter, coupled with balls that slow that meter down even more, accuracy is never an issue.  

   

  So where would I go from here do you think?

  The first consideration is trajectory, high being best.

  The second, for me, is spin, then accuracy, then forgiveness, in that order.

  At your level, with your experience, your only real choice is Rapture Irons and a great set of irons they are too.

  Forgiveness at the cost of precision is not a bad thing for relatively new golfers. It lets you adjust to the faster meter by not killing you if you miss the ding. Equal Precision and Forgiveness dots works pretty good. The sooner you get away from the slower meter the better off you'll be.  GL
