My suggestion for wedges for beginners is to go with cavity back models as they are alot more forgiving than traditional wedges. Options would include the Cleveland CBX and the Callaway Mack Daddy CB wedges. I have the Cleveland CBX wedges in 46, 52 and 56 degree lofts and they work much better for me than anything else I have tried. For a sand wedge, you could also consider the C3i 65 degree wedge ($99), as with those, there is no need to open the club face or open your stance, so I find that it makes bunker shots a lot easier.

I have owned the PXG 0211 for a month and can personally attest to the forgiveness of the club! Given that like many golfers, I don’t hit the optimum area of the club face every time, I find that with the 0211 my miss hits go straighter and further than last year’s Callaway Mavrik, which results in my overall average being 10 yards further with the 0211. I will take straighter and further all day, especially for a $249 driver!
