How accurate is the bag makeup in your signature?

[golfro]

can't go wrong with any of the cleveland wedges, titleist vokeys, etc...actually these days, most wedges are great.

I mean your set doesn't currently include a sand wedge - typically those are 54 to 56 degrees - and you're asking about a "new 60 wedge" like you already have an old one. Other than the PW that came with your set, do you have any other wedges? If not, might I suggest picking up a SW with a slightly rounded leading edge and sole with about 10 to 14 degrees bounce. Brand is up to you. Get that under control then you'll probably be able to make a 60 wedge decision on your own.

So the answer to my original question would have been, "It's missing my sand wedge".

Yeah, get a 60 degree lob wedge - you'll love it. Anything out there will work, but since you're just getting started, head over to Play it Again sports, tell someone what you're looking for. A lot of people buy lob wedges, change their mind, then give them away - there are tons of hardly used ones out there.

haha i would have put it in, but its so old that i dont even know what brand it is. and thanks for the help.

I'd replace your sand wedge with something you like. A 60* lob wedge is one of the last clubs a 15 year-old/30 hdcp should be putting in their bag, particularly before a 3/4/5 wood or a hybrid.

[clam fist]

One of my favorite clubs is a Cleveland CG14 black pearl wedge. I heard the CG15 is even better.
I also bag a 64 and a 68 degree Pinemeadow wedge. They are a lot of fun.

[Mike Stig]

i have a 3 and 5 wood but they are old aswell.

[walfice]

If I was in your position I would get a new SW instead of a LW. Have a look at the Callaway x series jaws wedges,they look pretty cool and will go very nicely with your irons. Then I would probably look to get a 3h to bridge the gap between driver and 4i.

[James_Black]

I wouldn't advise a 60* just yet.

You need to be accurate with a SW before you try a 60*
they take a lot of practice, they're worth it in the end but focus on the rest of your game first.

Does it matter if they're old?

My friend playes with a Sam Snead SW and that's from the 60's that his Grandfather used to play. Sure the grooves are a little worn but they still work.
Unless the woods are literally made of wood then they'll be fine to play with.

I know this is slightly off topic for me to ask about this on this thread, but I looked at a wedge at Academy Sports called "the final wedge," which appears to be a take on the 68* Pinemeadow.... is it really a fun club to use? I didn't pick one up because it seemed kind of gimicky and with no bouce I thought it looked hard to hit. I use my 56 exclusively for all my non-full shot chipping, including flop shots, but it is tempting to have a wedge that is consistently a flop wedge... so what's the deal with this wedge?

It might be a gimmick but it is fun. Especially when your real close to the green and you sky it and it stops dead. I am talking about when it is so close to the green that the safer bet is to use your putter.
