I just purchased a new set of Cobra S9 irons (4 - GW). I am a very high handicapper and now need to look at getting a hybrid and some wedges? I was hoping to get a hybrid for about a $100. Any suggestions on what to look for?

Regarding the wedges, my cobras come with a PW - 44 and GW - 49. Do I need to get something like a 54 and 60 wedge?

Does anyone have any experience with the Adams "Tom Watson" wedges? They have a 3 pak 52/56/60 for $99.

I plan on taking some lessons to really improve this summer and plan to purchase a driver later this fall.

The Tom Watson wedge set is quite good, I have two sets of them. I prefer the 2007 model, which has a very nice satin finish. I was not crazy about the grips, but you may like them OK. I re-gripped them and play them regularly now.

Here's a very good deal on them:

As far as hybrids -- your best bet will be with a hybrid that is a model year or two old. You will get the best deal with still current technology. Adams, Nickent, Cobra are a few companies that come to mind that have easy to hit hybrids that are very high quality and can certainly be had for under $100 (some close to half that).

strong lofted irons... get the three pack-- you may need to tweak the 52 a tad but see how they play out. say 54 and than a 58.. get'em and work themout and see how you hit them. hybrids.. get a22* 1st.. see the distance hit and go from there. good advise- look at clubs one year old and great deals run amuck..
