This is the most common utility wedge. These clubs have between 54 and 57 degrees of loft and between seven and 20 degrees of bounce. It's a good escape club from deep rough and for shots that need to go very high and stop fast, as well. The lob wedge is a relative newcomer to the wedge category. Lob wedges usually have a wider sole that allows them to perform like a sand wedge in certain situations without as much bounce.
Some players use lob wedges as their primary sand club.
The most common use of this club, though, is for situations where the golfer needs quick elevation and a high degree of spin. With lofts ranging from 62 to 65 degrees and two to 10 degrees of bounce, this is the ultimate scoring wedge. Its generous loft produces soft, floating, high, spinning shots that don't roll very much once they land on the green. It can be an effective sand club for short bunker shots or from bunkers with very steep faces and high lips. In recent years, it has become popular for players to carry three or more wedges.
