Depends on what you consider "cheap".

Wedges:

Golfsmith has MacGregor MT Pro DW wedges Buy One, Get One Free right now - they are normally $99, so you could get 2 wedges for $99. I used this deal to pick up a 52/8 and a 60/8

If you really only wanted to get one, you could go with a Snake Eyes 685BX already assembled wedge for about $70 in the store. I have a 56/14 that I use for my sand wedge. I like it a lot.

You can also get the Nike SV Tour wedges on sale for $70 a piece.

I think the Cleveland CG14s are about $90 new.


Putter:

I would check out the Cleveland Classic series. They are excellent putters (IMO) - milled face, no insert, great feel - for $70 brand new. I have the CC 1 and love it.

Another is the PING Karsten Series for $90.

You can also find brand new Mizuno Bettinardi's on EBAY from reputable sellers for under $100.



You could probably find a solid putter used, but there doesn't seem to be a true need to do that since you can find so many strong putters new for under $100 - again, depends on what you consider "cheap".

Some used wedges are all right, but a lot of the them have worn grooves that can defeat the purpose of the wedge in the first place, so you might want to get new ones on sale.

My $0.02

Nike SV Tour SW is cheap and a very good, quality wedge. Gamed one for the past year before moving onto the Callaway.

As for the putter, that's all personal preference and feel. There are so many out there you just need to try a few you like the look of, and see how they feel, then make the purchase, and go practice with it!

I'm looking at a lob wedge and putter, preferably Taylormade. I just wanted to know, what kind of putter makes that metallic *tink* sound when you hit the ball with it? Is that how a milled face sounds? My friend has a set of Walter Hagen T3 clubs and his putter makes that sound and it is awesome. Sorry for the thread jack but I gotta find out what putters have that sound cuz it rocks.

    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit. 
    • We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.
