looking to buy a wedge any recomendations?

im a beginner and my wedge play is rubbish. i have just bought a used set of clubs in an auction for £2. it has 3 wood, 5 wood, 1-8iron, sand wedge and putter. i need to buy a pitching wedge or something for quite cheap any ideas?

i was looking at a fazer B10 soft cast wedge on american golf.

hate to agree with wayne (sorry mate couldnt resist lol) but lessons would definately be a good start, but if your really after one theres a few on ebay which u can pick up quite cheap also.

you could always choke down a little on your 8 iron for now i guess - but hey gotta say a set for £2 is a real bargain !! well done.

for anyone else that reads this post - im now using my titleiest vokey spin milled which i got from my trip to the USA for £50 - truely awesome club

have to agree, when you are confident, and you must love your wedges (which i try to) then try the vokey wedges

Always try before you buy.  I tried lots of different wedges and settled on the Cleveland CG14's.  Took a couple of rounds to get used to the distances (mainly becasue they stop instead of releasing like my old ones did) but I love them to bits.  I tried the Vokeys but didn't like them.  I've already served my sentence for heresy for this comment. 

Just didn't like the balance JP.  Felt head heavy and uncomfortable.  Quite liked the Pings at first but went off them when I tried them second time.  Cleveland CG12's were nice.  I was replacing Nike SV's.

Well, consider this a revokation of your parole.  Back to jail for you.  :-)

I love my Vokey wedges, all 4 of them and two of each now.  The new spin milled kick butt. 

All wedges, once they have been gotten used to, will kick butt, Michael. All down to personal preference. Myself, I use the ones that came with my set and I have since purchased a separate lob wedge.

Buy a decent pitching wedge as you will use it a lot (see recommendations above) but (and I am going to get shot down in flames for suggesting this) get a dunlop lob wedge from sports world for under a tenner and use it to practice with till you get the hang of it.  I've had mine for 18 months and am still using it but will upgrade soon as I'm using it alot.  However it is not worth paying out for a state of the art lob wedge if you are going to be using the edge of it 50% of the time initially.

That's a good call Jon.  We sometimes forget that beginners have yet to fall into the "better gear will make me a better golfer" trap.  And it's not an expensive club to throw in the garage when you do (inevitably) upgrade.
