  No worries and thank you so much for your reply. I really do love my clubs and selected them very carefully....you will notice I still use my low level MaxSpin wedges (which I sleep with....they are awesome with the balls I have for flopping)... I just get frustrated with not playing well..I used to be much better.

  However, I think my wish was granted...as I stated b4, out of no where, after writing to WGT Santa, I moved up to Tour Legend and got 225 credits to boot!!!.  Honestly, my scores were no where near low enuff to move up. It may be by playing alot of 3 hole head to head on new version somehow boosted me...kinda like how I became Legend by winning against a legend in match play while a Master and Tour Master which artificially lowered my average..dunno...or maybe it was you...Santa!!!

  I believe WGT Santa gave me a new algorythm....I played 9 holes earlier, as a Tour Legend, shot 2 under and my average went fro 71. something to 68!!!!  I still play like crap but my average looks good....

  Thank you Santa

  @HamdenPro 

  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're currently at a level where there are no really good upgrades. You actually have very good equipment that should work well at Legend and Tour Legend. The only difference between those two tiers is green speed. No difference in tees.

  You really need to reach Level 96 (driver) and 97 (irons) to see some significant upgrades. The Level 90 irons would be a bit of an upgrade, but the meter is also pretty fast on those. A lot of people don't like them because of the meter speed. I know when I got the Level 90 irons, I ended up selling back to WGT and re-equipping my Level 85 irons.
  
  In any case, any upgrades at this point would be incremental. Santas tend to shy away from those types of upgrades. But each Santa has their own approach to gifting. 

   

  +1

  That is why I really like working with Robert and be a team mate on this one. Once again.

  Make sense. I admit it is a tuff spot to be in between those 2 tiers.

  Sleeves til you get to a higher lvl would be a smart choice for now.

  :o)

  p.s. up to HamdenPro to decide

  On all points, I agree.

  When I got to Legend, I switched to the Level 81 ball. Of the higher-end balls, I think it's the best balance of meter + distance + spin + price.

  Yes definitely. 

  Add to that the special attributes from the apparels, While tiering up, Could be a temporary fix to get distances

  :o)

  HamdenPro should let us know what kind of balls.

  :o)

  Edit, please take me off the list, my wife gave me money lol so i bought the putter myself, thanks for the consideration :)

  Weylon

  We can do that. But we'll leave you on the list for the Callaway sleeve of balls giveaway. I trust that's ok. If not, just post something to my wall.

  Its ironic that I tell players, often, no gifts....sometimes there are presumptions and, quite frankly, it makes me feel awkward when I am gifted balls...lol ( I know, weird)..but it is different here, in this forum with WGT Santas....

  Thank you for your kindness....now, the matter at hand...balls..

  I have been using the Volvik Vivid Pink lvl 51.. I switched to them for the distance (4) and especially the spin (I am wicked with the wedges) which is 4 and durability of 2.5. The meter, at the time, was not the enemy as it is now and they have a meter of 4. They are also relatviely inexpensive at 400cr.

  WGT recommends the Titliest Pro V1X Vapor, 5.6 distance, 4.5 meter but they are 1050cr !!! nothing I would ever continue buying unless I eventually marry a Doctor or Champion.

  I like the Taylormade lvl 93, 5.5 distance, 4 meter, 5 spin and 2.5 dura at 750cr

  But since these balls are being gifted, and if I like them I may switch which means spending money or hours of videos/surveys...not to mention I am giving up Pink (which is hard to do for me), it seems the ball to be would be:

  TPX5 lvl 81, distance 5, Speed 3.5, Spin 4 and 2.5 durab. these are a little more than I have been spending at 550cr.  These seem the best bang for the buck.  In the end, I leave it to Santa because I do not know how much more distance u get if it says 4 or 4.5 or 5, etc...and how much slower the meter speeds will be...as you said, attire could solve some of the problem.  So Santa, please, as u know all, choose the right ball for me....it might even be the ones I already have...but, don't spend alot..

  Thank you so much

  Hello Santa

  I have just started using the new WGT app on my computer and I wish that I could hit my drives as far as most of the competition. Please Santa if you could find a new driver (Mavrik Driver (L94+) or Mavrik Sub Zero (L96+) in your bag of gifts I would be most grateful.

  MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
