pacificator0:1) How are the TM Milled grind (64 &60) wedges ? They are still
med/high and I'm playing with normal balls, so will they make a
significant difference ?
I bought and used these wedges or the comparable models at that time - and felt it was a better value because I could practically buy 2 wedges for the price of 1 cleveland which is now titleist wedges - you get more clubs at a lower cost.
When you factor in - all these clubs will likely get replaced anyway - there is not nearly as much value in buying more expensive clubs that will be replaced. In the past - the cleveland and now Titleist options were regarded the best available - which drew most people to the 60 80 100 yardage gapping.
Since then, the callaway wedges came along - and they are likely now considered the best wedges in the game - even top tier players who were always Cleveland or Titleist wedge players- have opted to swap out wedges for the Callaway - and that would only be done if they felt it was worth doing.
Playing the AVG / Taylor Made wedges - set me up to be familiar with the 50 75 100 yardage gapping down the road, and I don't regret it, because Callaway wedges were in line with those #s, with the exception of the Max wedge because there was not a similar model. - but reality is - the Max wedge plays very similar to the Taylor Made 50y wedge at L39 but has a slower meter - so if you start learning it now - you will easily transition to the Max wedge that will play very similar.
It can be a personal preference over what wedges to choose - players have gone both directions and done well.
I personally tried to get the most value out of the credits available - because you are going to be looking at upgrades again and ball cost adds up considerably- so keeping those upgrades to a minimum saves credits in the long run - but eventually you could easily end up investing 50,000 credits or more in clubs depending on how many times you upgrade - so being conscious of how you spend credits now - may still help you down the road and also help with ball cost.
As for the driver - you are close enough to unlocking the L51 3wd that could be used off the tee and from the fairway - something that was suggested to me starting out as well. You could then add the L55 driver when it comes up and if you stick with the L59 irons - you will have a very similar set of clubs to what I opted for my first complete set.
if you are feeling antsy to get some slightly better clubs off the pro tees - and you are winning enough coins in coin games - you could consider some of the lower end coin rental club sets - and they will help you a bit - until you unlock the levels to buy the desired clubs.
-- you can learn things now - even with starter clubs that will help you down the road - things like course management - laying up short and hitting a wedge close to save par rather than hitting shots as close you you can and end up in rough or bunkers you don't know how to get out of yet.
Once you get into playing tougher conditions like heavy winds - you can't always reach the green with the best clubs in the game from the back tees -- so learning how to manage a course and the conditions - and learning your wedges - whichever route you go - will be something you will be glad you took the time to learn.
