Need Some Help on Equipment Choice

[LDAV]

ok im 14 and i shoot mid to low 80s and occasionally high 70s. i am in need of new wedges and a 3 wood. i just bought new irons(nike pro combos), so im a little short on cash. but after i sell my old irons ill have more. im having trouble either getting my wedges first or a 3 wood. i feel if i got the new 3 wood, it would really help, but so would some new wedges and i can only get one at a time because im not made of money lol. what do u think i should do??

If you already have wedges and a 3 wood, and are just looking to replace them, I would suggest replacing your most used wedge first, probably the gap.
If you dont have a 3 wood, but have old wedges, I suggest investing in a quality 3 wood. Then once you have a more complete set you can worry about replacing your wedges later.

Ditto. What wedges/3W do you have now, if any?

Yeah, pick up the 3W first, then.

Hey, I'm pretty new to this but I've been through many three woods. If you are low on cash, try to get one of the newer sonartec three woods. You can pick them up on ebay, new, for 100$

Also, if you like callaway woods(extremely easy to hit, and go far, but high) then I reccomend the ERC, it came out on 2002 but its very reliable, made of titanium, and goes far. It sounds great off the club head too.

My final suggestion would be to get a titleist 904 series three woods. They are very low in price and you could probably get them with upgraded shafts (Fujikura, Graphite Design) for 100$ on ebay. These go a little lower and for show, not really performance.

If you like extremely small heads, get the Titleist PT, non bore through or the Taylor Made Burner Tour Preferred. They are classic three woods, but a little harder to hit. These go almost the same in distance. Lower in Ball Flight and are zippy. They make a plastic snapping sound when you hit the ball or a "whack" sound which I love. I use to use the Titleist PT 15*. These can be anywhere between 10 dollars to 150 dollars. They are classic but amazing. Tiger Woods used Titleist PT for almost all his life, except for the last 2 years on tour.

I used the Titleist PT's. They were very good until I god the ERC. I chose ERC because of Sound and distance +15 yards. Trajectory is about the same but I change the ball placement for my 3 wood depending on conditions of course. Im very clean sweeper with the wood.

For cheap prices, ebay. Thats about it.
