Guide to Lob Wedges

Lob Wedge : What is it?

lobwedge1

Lob wedges are golf clubs with high lofts, usually between 58 and 68 degrees. They are commonly used for making finesse shots onto the green and over obstacles, and for hitting the ball from the rough, fairway, or bunkers. They are preferred by players who want to stop the ball quickly or strike it high into the air. Lob wedges are newly developed clubs that can be difficult to use effectively. They have the same amount of bounce gap wedges have, but they are more versatile and easier to cut under the ball.
