what degree is a lob wedge

A lob wedge is a type of golf club with the highest degree of loft of any club in your bag, ranging from around 58 degrees to about 64 degrees. Most amateur golfers use a 60-degree wedge. Lob wedges are used for very short approach shots where you need to send the ball up high in the air so that it drops and stops quickly on the green. They are also useful for getting out of greenside bunkers with high lips. A lob wedge can be a bit technical for beginner golfers, but it can really dial in your game and give you more control over high, short shots. The general consensus is that you should have about four degrees of loft between each wedge, so if you have a 46-degree pitching wedge, a 56-degree sand wedge, and a 60-degree lob wedge, you might want to consider adding in a gap wedge to fill the gap in loft degrees between your pitching wedge and sand wedge.
