The Masters

1. When you gain "phenom" status, buy a swing. This gives you one power attribute. As you gain champion and then superstar status, buy a better swing.

2. Shirt: ClimaShell Piped Wind Shirt provides accuracy and ball striking, level 4.

3. Pants: EA SPORTS Camo Shorts. You need to win “The Players Championship”, “Summer Swing” or “TW Shootout”. Gives you luck and approach, level 4.

4. Shoes: I use Traxion Paragon II but I think there are many shoes that will give you putting and recovery attributes, level 4.

5. Glove: I use Sciflex (LH) which gives power attribute, level 3.

6. Hat: I use EA SPORTS Backward Cap which gives luck and recovery, level 4. Most other hats have some sort of a peak, which gets in the way of your putting line, or don't give you the above attributes.

7. Glasses: I use Romeo 2.0 which gives luck and ball striking, level 3.

8. Jewelry: I wear the turqoise necklace, which doesn't show (who would want it to?), it gives luck and recovery attributes, level 4.

9. Miscellaneous: I wear EA SPORTS Wrist Band (LH) and EA SPORTS Wrist Band (RH). Each give one accuracy so two accuracy out of this pair. Both level 2.

10. Socks: I use ClimaLite Low Cut Sock which gives recovery attribute, level 2. You need Adidas sponsorship for these.

11. Driver: Pick a driver that gives you power + spin attributes. You'll need a sponsor for this, but from memory you have a choice. A different brand does nothing for distance. Level 3 regardless of brand. If you want level 4 driver then best you can get is just power.

12. Fairway woods: I use Taylormade Burner TP. They give Power + spin attributes, level 3. Again there may be others that have these attributes.

13. Irons: I use Bridgestone i10 irons. They give ball striking and approach attributes, level 3. If you want level 4 then you can’t have both of these attributes.

14. Wedges: I use Mizuno MP T Series Black Nickel wedges. They give approach and spin attributes, level 3. Bridgestone have wedges with these attributes also.

15. Putter: I'm not certain whether different putters can actually be better, I haven't seen convincing proof either way in TW09 just yet. Get something with putting and luck attributes, most have these and some to level 4.

16. Shafts: I use True Temper Black Gold X. They are extra stiff, which in real life golf at least, decrease accidental fade/draw to some degree, with a downside of digging in too much when hitting out of the rough, and slightly lower club head speed. In the game I have not seen obvious differences between regular, stiff and extra stiff, although this may come down to not being discerning enough. Shafts give you either accuracy or spin - never both. The shafts I chose give spin, level 4.

17. Balls: I use HX Tour. They give spin and accuracy, level 4. You will need Callaway Golf sponsorship for this. Also available is Nike ONE Platinum with no sponsorship requirements. This also gives you spin and accuracy level 4.

When you total all the attributes up, you get:

Power: 4 = 10% bonus
Accuracy: 4 = 10% bonus
Ball strinking: 3 = 6% bonus
Approach: 3 = 6% bonus
Spin: 5 = 10% bonus
Putting: 2 = 3% bonus
Recovery: 4 = 10% bonus
Luck: 5 = 10% bonus

This list was based on a previous post of mine. I made a few corrections and added "level" info.

Doesn't anyone just dress the way they want to look on the course?

Haha, no! You should see my character. He is so wacked out. He's got these awful green cargo shorts with that nasty American flag shirt. Throw in the teal necklace and some metal sticking out of his face and he's a real winner. Of course it also doesn't help that I randomized his face, so he's got one of the ugliest mugs in professional golf!

.. and it goes without saying that his chin has been copletely removed... hehe

It does take some playing around in the pro shop to come up with attribute bonuses that improve your 'Profile Golfer' but you should see how well Mirage looks when she plays, she don't care about the bonuses near as much as how she looks. I prefer to stay casual, I wear the white shirt with the joker on the chest of course, then my white shorts and sandles, topped off with a styling white bucket hat and my favorite shades. My balls must be yellow and I use all the $30,000 diamond clubs, they do make a difference. My power is still at 106% which is fine with me and the rest of my attributes are not as high as Glen's, but damn I look good. I used to wear the goofy pants and the flag shirt with rings in my nose and ears, goofy shoes, paper bag on my face, you name it, I have purchased items I will never use again and can't believe I ever even wore. I suppose I still have to much money so why bother selling them back, who knows, might get more money out of em when TW10 comes out.

Put your time into your club tuner and build up your golfer. Pick a good set of clubs and balls. After that, practice, practice, practice. Then you will be ready to kick some butt on the greens. Even with my lack of bonuses due to my clothing, I can still drive 350 yards into a 10 MPH wind, its all about the clubs and the club tuner.

By the way Glen, I'm in the League now, when we gonna play ? Chin will join in I'm sure.

Hey Chin and Glen, I really hope everybody here appreciates how much you two have done in these forums to help players improve they're games and how much you guys have helped them with any problems they have had. Perhaps Glen may know how to fix my damn EA messenger so I can use my Buddy List and quit being a ghost to everyone else.

hello glen
I was wondering that when you max out your stats and you keep gaining points is there anything in the game you need to use the extra for? For the money thing are is there any thing that you wounld need it for other than products like paynig in career to get into courses? oohh and with the courses are there any that you can unlock?

Thanks, but I'm just too burnt out on TW09 interference. Even with the positive changes made to DGA games, I know of at least one way to get an unfair advantage over your opposition. And it doesn't matter who does it or who doesn't, the fact that it's there puts me off. Don't bother asking for details as revealing it will only make the situation worse. I still play offline TW09 daily, and also Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on the PC.

I can help you out with that indirectly. Email me at TheJokker110409@glenmcd.com for details.
