What angles do wedges come in?

Answer 1

A traditional pitching wedge is 48 degrees, although that changes from manufacturer to manufacturer. From there you can buy a wedge from 48 to 64, and anywhere in between. There are also other characteristics that change, such as bounce angle, that makes some clubs useful for sand and others useful for "all-around" play. Different brands call their wedges different things, such as pitching, gap, sand, approach, lob, first, second, and third, etc. In general, the higher the degree of loft the higher the flight of the ball, and the shorter the distance of the ball's flight. To expand a little..... Pitching - 48 degrees Gap - 52 degrees Sand - 56 degrees Tack - 58 degrees Lob - 60 degrees These are just the most common wedges. They come in all degrees between 50 and 64.
