What is a lob wedge?
With lofts between 58°- 60°, a lob wedge is the highest lofted wedge in the wedge category, allowing players to hit more accurate chips, flop shots, and bunker shots.
A 58 degree wedge launches a touch lower and is more forgiving on full swings, while a 60 degree wedge produces a higher arc and stops faster on the green.
Vokey offers five unique grinds in the lob wedge lineup (T, M, S, D, K). The best lob wedge grind for you will depend on your swing style and course conditions. The variety of Vokey grinds gives you the flexibility to find the lob wedge that helps promote versatility, maximum spin control, and stopping power.

| A lob wedge is used for short, high-arc shots that need to stop quickly, flop shots over bunkers and other hazards, short-sided chips, delicate pitches to tight pins, and approaches into firm greens. Because of its high loft, the lob wedge produces minimal roll, which makes it the go-to club when you need the ball to land softly. |

| There is no single best degree. The right loft depends on gapping and the greenside shots hit most. Most players carry either a 58° or 60° lob wedge, with 4°–6° of loft separation from their sand wedge for clean distance gaps inside 80 yards. |

| A sand wedge typically has 54°–56° of loft and is built primarily for greenside bunker shots and shorter approaches. A lob wedge has 58°–60° of loft, launches the ball higher, stops it faster, and is best suited to flop shots, short-sided chips, and any shot that needs maximum height with minimum roll. |
