I have been using Maxfli Revolution wedges (52, 56, 60), as they were the cheapest option at Dick's Sporting Goods a couple years ago. I have spent a lot of time practicing my pitch shots, and can reliably get them in the air (have drastically reduced my fat and thin shots). I am much better at picking a spot in my mind for the ball to land, and actually getting it to land reasonably close to there. I don't have much practice hitting full wedge shots, though (I'd usually prefer to hit a pitch with a longer club).

My question is, if I upgrade my wedges to something more expensive, what benefits will I see to my wedge game? Sometimes I don't know if I am missing my target landing area due to technique inconsistencies or whether I should blame it on my $39.99 wedge.

Unless your current wedges are poorly suited for your game, I don't know if you'll see much difference at all.

Spin.  Even with the new groove rules the new wedges still spin like crazy.
