Guidelines to Perfect the Golf Lob Shot

The golf lob shot is actually a rarely used shot that will require frequent practice to be able to perfect, but it can be a excellent precision shot for you.  The shot is ideally suited for when it’s executed near the green (from about 50 yards in), and when you need the ball to get up quickly and land with little roll.  Although sand wedges can be employed for this shot, you will find excellent lob wedges available on the market specifically designed to perform this golf shot.

Before we set down a few guidelines to perfect the golf lob, the following are three particular instances in which the lob shot can successfully be applied:

1. There is a greenside bunker that may be located between you and the hole and you would like to play the shot over the bunker.

2. The flagstick is near the edge of the green which discourages very little roll from the golf ball.  Nevertheless, you may well be too far from the green to putt the ball.

3. The putting green is positioned at higher elevation than you demanding a high pitch shot with very little roll.

I will share a few guidelines on how to successfully perfect the lob shot:

1. When setting up for the golf lob shot, open your stance to the left of the target line and open your clubface.  Continue to keep most of your weight (about two-thirds) forward throughout the entire swing.  To promote increased trajectory, position the golf ball forwards in your stance.

2. Mentioned previously, a sand wedge may be used, but I favor a 60 degree lob wedge.

3. To carry out the shot, hinge the wrist at the beginning of the takeaway.  At all cost don’t “sweep “the ball.  Take the club head only to about the 9 o’clock position, keeping stable throughout.  Keep the clubface open at impact.  I prefer a strong grip for this shot, as I have to make sure the clubface does not remain too open so I would “fluff” the shot.

4. The follow-through will need to finish at the three o’clock position.  It is essential for you to accelerate down and through the ball at impact, since the shot can turn into a disaster in the event the face of the club doesn’t make first contact with the golf ball.

This is really a true finesse shot, and requires practice not just to learn how to accomplish it, but should be practiced as part of your off-course routine to maintain your “feel” for the shot.  In little time, you will find the golf lob shot fairly straightforward to execute and a great part of your arsenal to help lower your scores.

I have $100 and I want to buy a lob wedge…what kind should i buy???

I need a lob wedge that is at least 61 degrees

TaylorMade RAC rusty. I have been playing tour models of these for years and love them, haven’t found anything better. I got the tour ones off of ebay(lob and SW) for about $150 each a few months after they came out, so I’m sure you could get the retail ones for under $100 now.

a 64 degree lob wedge and two idiots!!
