Golf Lob Wedges Take It Higher

Lob wedges are one of the coolest clubs in your bag. These clubs are relatively new to the market and are catching on very quickly. They are not included in your set and must be purchased separately at your local retailer or proshop. These clubs are also known as finesse clubs are mainly used for "touch" shots around the green. These are shots that have to be lifted into the air quickly and land softly.

These wedges can also be used from the fairway or rough and generally fly about 70 yards. The trajectory is a very steep arc that launches the ball way up into the air that allows it to stop abruptly on the green. It is a great asset to have when you have to fly a shot over a bunker and have it stop quickly on the green. Lob wedges will put a lot of spin on the golf ball when struck cleanly. They're also very good out the deep rough next to the green because you are able to get the ball up quickly and out of trouble.

One of the main reasons golfers like the golf lob wedge is due to the fact that it allows them to take a large full swing and cover only a short distance. It's almost reducing the time for error when you have to make one of those half delicate swings with your other wedges. The ball ends up flying short and high.

If you haven't got one of these great finesse clubs in your bag, than go to your local pro shop pick one up. Then proceed to the range and see what hitting one of these great new lob wedges is all about.
