I'm relatively new to the game and playing with a set of burner 2.0's 4-AW. I'm looking to grab a sand wedge but am unsure of what to grab.

I can either grab a burner SW and it will match the set or spend some time at the pro shop picking something else out. Would I be getting a substantially better wedge by not grabbing the burner?

Welcome at The Sand Trap Forum !

It really depends on how you want to use the SW, if it is for full swings .... it might be a good thought to go for the Burner 2.0 is the feel will be the same as the rest of your clubs.

If it is for sand play mostly .... I would suggest to get a specialized (54* to 58*) SW that matches the sand of your local course, take one with less bounce (8-10) if the sand is firm or hard, take one with a higher bounce (12-14) if the sand is loose or fluffy. Bob Vokey also has a few with right in the middle bounces (11*).

Taylor made has nice wedges in their TP series, but many players end up with the Bob Vokey or Cleveland wedges.

I agree with Gerald. I just got the Burner 2.0 irons. I chose to go with the Vokey 56.11

I can lay it open to increase loft and bounce, or close it some to go the other way. I'm real happy with the choice as the 56.11 gives me many options of ways to use it.

I play with the Taylormade 2.0's and have the sang wedge. Last year I played with a Vokey 54* and 60* wedge but with my new set I decided to give the 2.0 SW a try. I can say it is one of the best wedges I have ever used for sand play or general shots. Our course is currently switching their old sand which is almost like dirt to the better traditional white sand so some holes you can play out of either style and I can hit it great out of any type of sand. I was hesitant to use it because I liked my Vokey wedge so much but I'm not looking back at this point!!

I used to buy specialized SWs and LWs all the time, but when a switched to the Burner 2.0 irons, I got the matching SW and LW.. The reason being is for me there would have been just too much of a difference in look and feel and you still need a SW for full shots 90-100 yds and a lob wedge 70-80 yds.

Went to Vegas in August 2011 and my clubs never arrived.  However, one of the course I played had burner 2.0 sets of everything, and I loved it all.  Ended up buying the set once home.  Just special ordered the lob and sand wedge to go along with my AW-4 iron.  On tight fairway lies, I have always struggle in that area with conventional wedges, so I'm hoping they are a easy and perform as well as the other do.    Here's the link to my pics of the clubs, and a golf course in Mesquite, Nevada called wolf creek.  Cheers Rod     http://www.flickr.com/photos/runnerdog/

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
