Hey everyone,
I recently got some great advice here. ( I bought the L39+ Taylor Made Z Satin 64 degree wedge ).. Wow it is excellent. I am a Pro 82 , as the title states, what should I do... Any suggestions, much appreciated.
OK, you liked the last advise so here my .02 again.
A 3 wd off the tee, will not count as a fairway hit, don't know why, but it does not. So if you don't want stats like mine (66% because I hit a lot of 3wds off the tee, when I was a pro and tour pro) then get another wedge.
Then save your credits and get a whole club set, try to get a set with the meter speeds all the same, and don't be afraid of a faster metered clubs. Your going to have to get used to them sooner or later if your going to advance past master level. And I believe some of the Taylor Made, and Ping club sets come with the wedges also .... something to think about.
They do, the lvl 39 Taylor Made Burners come with wedges, as do the lvl 42 and 60 Ping G-10s. They come with Driver, 3 WD, Rescue WD, Irons 3-PW, and 60 and 54 Degree wedges. Your goal would be to hold off as long as you can before buying a club set. That lvl 60 set is very nice, and would be playable as legend, but you would be at a disadvantage to everyone else that has the lvl 90 r-11's. But would be just fine for pro thru tour master. This is also the cheapest way to go as the give you a discount for buying a whole club set.
Would have been nice if you would have asked this question 2-3 weeks ago, then you could have tried all these clubs for free, on free club rental weekend. And I would imagine another would be coming soon, probably the first major of the year?
If you just can't take it and have to get a Driver, get the best you can. Even if it means waiting a couple levels before you get it. But I would not buy a putter until i tried it out first.
I like YankeeJim's advise also. Go read that wedge thread.
