So, first off, I've been playing golf for about a month and a half (consistently, I've played rarely over the past few years) and would still consider myself a beginner. I've got a slow swing speed and can botch a hole easily but I do have my shining moments. I got a nice set of TaylorMade Burner 1.0 Irons as my main iron set, and got the Driver and 3 Wood from the Burner 1.0 line as well. As of right now, I have 4-AW for my irons, and am looking into expanding upon my clubs. An Approach wedge is basically the brother of the Gap Wedge from what I've heard, and so I don't need a Gap Wedge, but what I am looking at is a possibly Lob Wedge and Sand Wedge, as well as maybe Hybrids for my Low Irons and possibly 5 and 7 Woods. So since I don't want to go out and buy things I won't need, I'm just looking for a second opinion. Any advice?

Sand wedge definitely, dont bother with a lob wedge at this point - you'll just end up going back to the sand wedge anyway.

Hybrids, I would go with a 3 or 4 or both and take the 4 iron out of your bag. Wait on the 5 wood unless you see a deal you just cant pass up (or dont want to). Not many play a 7 wood anymore so I am not qualified to give advice on that subject.

Alright thanks, I just got a 3 Hybrid, but am having trouble finding a Burner 1.0 Sand Wedge with Steel/Uniflex. I might have to end up going 2.0 on my Sand Wedge.
