So i've decided for now I just want to look into purchasing a hybrid between my driver and 4 utility and a SW for sure, possibly a gap or lob wedge. I haven't really looked into a hybrid yet but i've found some used wedges. I found some Ben Hogan CARNOUSTIE WEDGES, 3 for $100 and a set of Solus wedges for the same price. Does anyone have any opinions on these?

Well, you have room for 3 more clubs. So, I'd reccomend getting a 3 wood, a 5 wood, and most importantly a sand wedge.

3 Wood: 07 Burner 15* stiff
5 Wood: 07 Burner 18* stiff

I wish i knew about 3-wedge sets for $100 when i first started golfing. I think they're great for beginners who just want to get a feel for different types of wedges.

I do agree though that you should pick up a 5w and 3w and just 1 wedge (maybe a 56* SW). Even if you can't quite hit the woods too well just yet i personally think its important for beginners to get acquainted with a cookie-cutter bag which imo is driver, 3w, 5w, 3-pw, sw, putter. As you get better and have a more consistent game you'll be able to figure out what clubs to take out and add :) good luck!

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
