Not all golfers prefer to keep a lob-wedge in their bag. If your chipping and pitching fundamentals are not all that great, then you should probably be using the sand wedge and the pitching wedge for your shots around the green.   It can have very poor results if you do not hit them properly. Players get nervous that they are going to hit these clubs well over the green and cause more problems for themselves.  Once your fundamentals are in place, this wedge is excellent for backspin and getting yourself out of a difficult bunker.
