Choose a left handed wedge based on the shots you need to play and the gaps in your bag. A gap wedge helps with in-between approach distances. A sand wedge is useful for bunkers, chips and pitches. A lob wedge helps with higher, softer shots around the green.
Most golfers should start with a gap wedge and sand wedge before adding a lob wedge.
A pitching wedge is usually used for fuller approach shots. A gap wedge fills the distance between pitching wedge and sand wedge. A sand wedge is useful from bunkers and around the green. A lob wedge gives higher, softer shots.
Each wedge should have a clear role in your bag.
The loft you need depends on your current pitching wedge and the distance gaps you want to fill. Gap wedges are often around 50 to 52 degrees. Sand wedges are often around 54 to 56 degrees. Lob wedges are usually around 58 to 60 degrees.
Always check the exact loft in the individual listing because wedge lofts can vary.
Yes, used left handed wedges are worth buying if they are properly checked, graded and suited to your short game. They can offer quality value compared with buying new.
Pay attention to loft, bounce, groove condition and overall wear.
Buy individual left handed wedges if you only need one specific loft or shot type. Buy a wedge set if you need better gapping and want two or three wedges that work together.
A wedge set can be useful if your current short game setup has large distance gaps.
Check loft, bounce, shaft flex, grip condition, face wear, groove condition and overall grading. Wedges are scoring clubs, so groove and face condition matter.
Also make sure the wedge is left handed and suits the short game shots you need to play.
