Approach Wedge?

Question

I play golf casually. I just started this year. I recentley bought a set of golf clubs(Driver, 3 wood, 3-pw, putter). I was looking to invest in a set of spin doctor wedges. I was going to buy the 3 pack set with a 52 degree approach wedge, 56 degree sand wedge, and a 60 degree log wedge. That set costs 160 bucks. Or should I just get a 56 degree sand wedge and a 60 degree lob wedge($120) and use the 56 degree for fairway approaches?

Answer 1

whatever you feel comfortable with i have a pitching wedge a 51 degree and 56 degree it works for me

Answer 2

Do what you want to, but I used to used a 9 iron for all of that kind of work and was really happy and felt big time when I got a p-wedge. I think golf is like many hobbies, where one is encouraged to buy gear constantly instead of improve core skills.

Answer 3

As a casual golfer I would advise against a 60* wedge..... the shot availibility for the 60 is demanding  of a skill level usually beyond a casual golfers experience level.....I'd opt for a sand wedge for now.  Save the money and the frustration.

Answer 4

I think it's worth buying the whole set.

A 52 degrees comes in handy a lot specially if you need to play a low running shot.
