A lob wedge is the most dangerous club in your bag—and not
Jul 17, 2020 · For professional golfers, a 60-degree lob wedge around the green could be classified as a surgical scalpel.

The Wedge Guy: The highest loft you should carry – GolfWRX
May 14, 2019 · It was the late 1980s, I believe, when Tom Kite began using the first 60-degree wedge to great success. They say he was deadly from his “magic number” — 63 yards, as I remember. I do know those first 60-degree wedges had very large heavy soles, with very pronounced camber from front to back.
Cleveland Golf 588 RTX Wedges: Editor Review – GolfWRX
Apr 24, 2013 · Open-faced shots around the green with the 60-degree wedge produce an incredible amount of spin.

The Wedge Guy: Why you should try graphite wedge shafts
Jun 14, 2023 · What utter nonsense! If a 60- to 75-gram graphite shaft is stable enough for tour players’ drivers at 120-plus miles-per-hour clubhead speed and the largest head in the bag, it is certainly stable enough for a wedge you’ll swing at 55 to 75 miles per hour.

I also use a 54-degree wedge (bent to 55 degrees) that carries about 105 yards. I fill the gap with a 46-degree wedge (bent to 45 degrees) that carries about 135 yards. I prefer its look and feel to the pitching wedge from my iron set because I can vary trajectory more easily with it. I also carry a 50-degree wedge that carries about 120 yards.

Jan 18, 2020 · I hit a lot of full shots with my 50 and 54, so I have chosen to play the DG 120TI X100 shaft exactly the same way in those two clubs. My 60-degree however, I rarely hit the full shot, so I feel need it a little softer in stiffness, but I need the weight to get my tempo correct and to give me more control to hit lower shots.
58 vs 60 degree wedge - Equipment - GolfWRX
Nov 5, 2019 · I made the mistake a few years ago of moving from a 60 to a 58 degree lob wedge. I though having the 58 from the fairway would give me a weapon I lacked with the 60. I then moved to a 50 and 54 to create proper gapping. Unfortunately, the move cost me my strength, which was my short game around the green.
