Hey TT,
To answer the thread's question I've seen a Master with a 67 average using starters. He switched to the R9 clubs and went to Legend within weeks.
If you struggle with the meter, I recommend the Raptures combined with the GI2-D balls. However, you will have noticed the price on the clubs are rather high price ($27). Such things are necessary to succeed on this game, or you can go the earning free credits route.
