    Tour Starters are better all around:  5 yards extra distance on each of the clubs, and better spin.  They are what I use.

    tibbets i've wondered why you use the tour starter clubs. Are they better than the taylormade and ping clubs, and why do you think they're better. And i'm only asking you tibbets. Not trying to be rude or anything,but i'm just trying to get the best player up here's opinion.

    No offense taken Decarz2, it's a good question.

    The reasons I use them?  1.  I know them inside and out, how they play, what to expect out of each club, etc. 2.  I've had great success with them so far, and I'm living by the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'm sure that I'll switch out to different clubs at some point, but only when I feel I'm no longer competitive with this set, and that hasn't come close to happening yet.   3.  I own all the clubs out there, and have tried them all.  The Taylormade and PIng clubs are fine ones as well, but I don't find them to be any more accurate on average than the Tour Starters, and they are less forgiving.  All you gain is 5 extra yards on average, and that's only if you hit the line perfectly.  Miss by a little, and all that extra yardage gets erased.  It might seem like you'd need more yardage on a course like Bethpage, but obviously you don't since the lowest score recorded was using the Tour Starters.  The only thing I've upgraded and continued to use is the TaylorMade r9 driver.  With the high winds on Kiawah and the length of Bethpage off the tee to the fairway, it's kind of a must have.

    It's all about feel and what plays well for you.  If you are looking for your first upgrade from the basic club set, I would definitely reccommend the Tour Starter set as your first purchase.  They are pretty cheap, and give you just enough extra distance, spin, and forgiveness to be highly competitive.

    It would be a good idea to email them, members@worldgolftour.com.

    Let them know as soon as you can.

    Good luck.

    This excuse of not knowing you can only have ONE account is old! It's all over the forum and I belive when you sign up it states it also! You cant come on here and B/S and say "I did'nt know" I dont buy it and WGT should'nt either! Why would anyone wish good luck to a cheater, you openly admitted you were cheating because you were moved up to a master ranking.. if thats the case then practice as a master and improve your skill's! You are the second guy to post that you have two accounts along with the other guy who told everyone who read his post that he was using some type of auto clicker software.  You fellas must live in the ozark mountains. not much comon sense!

    Well sorry  for not being informed. . I'm tired of hearing peoples mouths about it.  I've already had WGT to disable my old account. Either way I'm already up to pro on this account. Their probably abbout to move me to master anyway.
