I went golfing last week and I had just bought my set, the only wedge it came with was a Pitching wedge.

So no matter how close I got I had to use the pitching wedge to get up to the green, since im really new to this golf thing I often overswing and put it over the green.

I was wondering if I should really really invest in a sand wedge.

If so then what kind?

Steel shaft or graphite, and what degree of wedge should I go with?

We have a Nike NDS Graphite Sand Wedge, I think is 56 degrees. Would that be a decent choice or should I focuse more on something else?

Definently get the SW. 55*-56* is a SW. The one you have should be sufficient, but I personally like steel shafts better, but it should serve your purpose just fine.

Like 300yards said the Nike Sand Wedge will definitely do the job for you. You might also take a look at a Gap Wedge, 52 degrees, it fills in the gap difference between your Pitching Wedge and the Sand Wedge. Just a suggestion.

It sounds like you have it covered as far as wedges are concerned

"all though as suggested you could add a gap wedge" but it sounds to me like you need to practise your distance control,
ie: practise with a 1/4, 1/2, and a 3/4 swing this will help with the distance control.
