A lob wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge, provides you with a 60-degree loft. The loft determines how low or high you can spin the ball after shooting. With a 60- degree wedge, golfers can shoot the ball higher rapidly and aim for a soft landing. The average distance a 60-degree golf wedge can cover is around 50-75 yards. It can vary depending on the speed and position of the ball aimed by the golfer. Golf experts can hit a 60-degree wedge to 100 yards, whereas an amateur or a beginner golfer can hit around 30 yards. There are certain tips and tricks that golfers can apply to cover longer distances with a 60-degree wedge.
