New wedge to complete my wedge set

[mspunk13]

I bought a TaylorMade R7 set on eBay a while ago because of the great price. Unfortunatly, the set includes 4-9 irons and a 50* approach wedge + a 55* sand wedge (9 iron - 40*).

I don't seem to have any problems with long shots. I can hit the approach wedge 90-110 yards and my 9 iron 125-145 yards. I mostly want to improve my game around the green - by this I mean 10-40 yard with a lot of backward spin.

The approach wedge is almost like a pitching wedge. The sand wedge is almost like a gap wedge. Now, should I look for a used 45* R7 pitching wedge on eBay, shell out $130 ( ) for a 46* Cleveland wedge or something similar, get an unused Cleveland CG12 for 50$ (great price, but the loft is 48* - 2* loft difference doesn't seem much), buy a 60* lob wedge, or save $$$ and stick to the current configuration?

the SW is a normal loft.

I'd say get a 60* wedge if you want the ball to stop around the greens

I'd also go with a 60 in this case. Work on hitting choke down and/or 3/4 shots with the 9 to make up the difference. The touch around the greens with a 60will probably save you more strokes in the long run.

Great, thanks a lot for helping me out! I've just ordered a lob wedge.

Good luck with the new wedge!
