Some questions

who what when

Hi ive been playing golf for a good few years but only lately have started playing it in any way seriously. As such ive been trying to replace my beginner set of clubs with a decent set.
About april/may last year with my handicap around 20 or so I got a new putter (nike something, not sure the name) as putting is definitely my weakest area. It immediately cut about 2-3 shots off my handicap and i rarely 3 putt anymore.
Last august I got a new driver and what a difference it made. Down to about handicap 12 now.

So my question is what should be next?? The weakest part of my game is certainly approach shots from 6 iron and over. So maybe a new set of irons. Problem is i wouldnt know where to start as regards choosing a set of irons!
Also I reckon I could do with a decent lofted wedge as in 60 degrees or so. Anyone got any recommendations? Oh and i dont know if it makes any difference but im left handed.

Any and all advise welcome

we could all probably chip in with this club and that club is great but if your serious about getting best set for you then just go get yourself fitted.thats the key point,it will be best set for you.what anyone says is great might not be for you.during fitting process you will hit a range of clubs and just be sure you go somewhere were your hitting outdoors so you can see the ball flight.you will enjoy the experience and fingers crossed few more shots off the handicap.

as simple as pineseeker says.. Only way to exactly know what suits your style

It's unlikely that new clubs will directly cut shots off your game unless you've been playing with absolute dogs.

If you struggle with 6 iron and above then consider rescue woods as they tend to be easier to hit; however each person needs to decide.

A lob wedge is not an easy club to hit. I only use mine when everything is right. You may be better perfecting your short pitches and chips first.

Being left handed makes no real difference.

Don't necessarily agree that you need to go out and get fitted for a full set of new irons just yet. Stick with what you have for now, keep up the practice, especially on your short game (100 yards in) - this is where the shots lie. By all means go out and buy a 60 degree lob wedge - this is a good club for the arsenal. It's not the easiest to get used to - but worth practising to get it right. Buy something that you like the look of, feel of and weight of - compare it against the weight of your current sand wedge.

Fair play to you for getting down to 12 from 20 in 9 months or so - that's a super achievement !

I use Titliest Vokeys 56 degree and a 60 degree. Find them noth fantastic in or around the greens!

best thing with the irons is keep playing what you have for now and you will be in contact with numerous other golfers and hit a few shots with their various clubs on the course, you will find which ones you like this way.
