    Hello everyone,

    I am back to this game after 2-3 year hiatus due to being stuck at home cause of virus.

    this time I found out about the forum. I read it regularly to improve my game thanks to all of you kind people. Its cause of y'all only that I bought Ping Level 59 irons which changed my game drastically. I need few more equipment advise too which I can't get cause all posts have old equipment advise.

    I just became master 2 days ago

    so here it goes,

     

    Putter ; which one should I buy ?

    Level 59 sabertooth or level 70 scotty Cameron X 6 

    stats of sabertooth are much better. I am an off ding player I analyse the wind and without moving flag post I hit it. I am correct 60-70% of the time.

     

    also, my older level 6 level 7 Cleveland wedges are suddenly falling short idk why.

     

    which should I buy?

    Callaway PM Grind level level 66 which have better meter or titelsit vokey level level 74

     

    thank you in advance.

    Personally at your Level, L-80, I would get the three top wedges and dump that hybird.

    Then work on a Driver and 3 Wood . Players go to Tour Champion with low level putters

    I have the L59 Sabertooth and after well over a week with it, I placed it in storage, so to speak, earlier today, and reverted to the starter putter. The Sabertooth has great stats on paper, but I just couldn't play well with it. The meter is very jumpy, accelerating very suddenly and dramatically just before the ding. (I am a ding putter.) I'd usually be late, but if I tried to time the jump of the meter, I would instead end up hitting too early. Actually hitting the ding, even on a relatively short putt, was pretty unusual. I also don't like the fact that the scale is usually 15 feet by default. I prefer a 30 foot scale, which provides enough precision for me while usually allowing a relatively short "wind up," which, in turn, results in a slower meter. I can't tell you how many times I thought I was on the 30 foot scale only to find that I was using he 15 foot one and that I had applied only half the necessary power. It's a pity you can't tell it which scale you want to appear by default every time.

    After going back to the starter putter, I immediately went and posted a 63 on Kiawah, with much better performance on the greens. So, I will stick with the starter for a while. Perhaps I will return to the Sabertooth sometime in the future. At least I own it now, and it's the only purchase I regret so far. I might try the L70 Cameron when I reach that level - probably later this week - 

    I agree with the suggestion of dropping the hybrid and going with a third wedge. I have the high 20s/low 30s level Titleist Vokeys, 56, 60 and 64 degrees, and they are real weapons. They weren't cheap, especially considering that they were my first purchase, but I think they were well worth it. I am actually giving some thought to ditching my 3W, which I rarely use even now that I am on the Master tees, and getting the 52 degree wedge in the same series. With a rating of 105 yards, it would be a useful club to fill the gap between the 56 degree wedge, at 90 yards, and my 115-yard PW.

    Here is a Comparison of the 2 clubs. I like the L-74 as you can get a lob wedge

    Good Wedges cut strokes off your game, once you get used to them. I usually don't have to add spin as they kick back anyway. You want that Forgiveness and precision
