im an idiot and i left my wedge on the golf course today. :( it was a cleveland 588 60* wedge. i don't feel ill right now because i bought it a year ago on ebay for like 35-40 bucks. i still feel so stupid for leaving it. i called the proshop and they said no one turned anything in which doesn't suprise me one bit.
so now i need advice on what to get to replace it. my current wedge situation is pitching wedge 47* and gap wedge 52*. before i lost my 60*, i wanted to get a 56*. now my predicament is whether to go ahead and get a 56* along with a replacement 60* or to find a middle road and get a 58*? i loved using my 60* for those close flop shots but it did get me in trouble sometimes. im thinking with a 58*, i could still hit that flop shot and also use it as a sand wedge for bunker shots and what not? im a poor college stupid so i can't really go and buy a new titleist spin milled vokey so i will probably be scouring ebay for some used clevelands? my 52* is a cleveland cg10 that i got for around 40-45 on ebay. ive always heard cleveland made good wedges so ive stuck to them.
basically i need suggestions as to whether i should go the 52, 56, 60 route or 52, 58. it would boil down to spending more on a nicer 58* or getting decent 56 and 60.

Give it a little time and you will likely get the club back. I have found clubs on the course before and threw them in my bag only to find them in my bag the next time out and return them. I wouldn't write it off quite yet.

Id go with a nice CG10 58* its a versatile wedge so you could do quite a bit with it, should be killer from inside 70 yards too.

thats rough man. The 52 is a bit strong but I would try to go with something along the lines of 56/60 combo. If the 52 was a 54 like mine (47* PW) then you could go 58*.

Since you have a 52-deg CG10, get a 56-deg CG10 and learn to flop it. If you can get out of the sand with a lower bounce wedge, then I would get the low-bounce version of the 56-deg CG10 (with one dot), which still has 12-deg bounce.

That club should work for you in all but the very tightest of lies, and still has enough bounce to be an effective sand wedge.

Yeah, I managed to do this one time with my 6i, but it was certainly in a manly fashion. I notice about 5 holes later. I went back and it was still right were I left it. Every one else was likely to terrified to touch such a manly club. .... 30 yards off the fairway, between the two trees where my ball was at the time. It is highly unlikely I ever would have lost the club, as if it took me a year to remember I probably could have gone back and found the rusted out carcus of a 6i as no one has likely been that far off the beaten trail on that hole before or again. :D

To me it only proved that if I am going to hit it 30 yards off the fairway, I may as well put it between a couple trees to mark my spot and remember it by.

Third vote for the Burrows MAC Tour Bounce. I have a set of them as well. They were in the bag until I found salvation in the Srixon WG 504's. I believe GS still has some heads left in 56* and 60* for like $5 or $6 a head. I got them at $9.99 a head (52*, 56*, and 60*) when Burrows first went out of business. GS ran out of the 52* heads fast, but still had the other two last time I checked.
