I wouldn't put a 60 degree (lob wedge) in my bag at this stage. I'd perhaps look at a gap wedge and investing on short game lessons to learn how it pitch properly. I find from personal experience that the LW can cause more problems than shots it saves so happy to stick with my 58 degree SW and simply open the face up.

Sound like solid advice. What's a gap wedge?

It basically fills the gap between the pitching wedge (about 44 degrees in the X2 hot) and the sand wedge. Ideally you should be looking for fairly even spacing and so if your SW was to be 56 or 58 degrees I'd look at something around the 50-52 degree mark

If you google callaway x2hot gap wedge you will be presented with a number of links to 2nd hand ones for you set.
At some point you will feel you need one; right now....its up to you ?
