Wedge Guide: Understanding Gap, Pitching, and Lob Wedge Degrees

Question
Greetings Ed...My question is this. What's the difference between a gap wedge  & a lob wedge? What are the degrees of angle between each club?
Thank You..

Answer
Hi Ken:

Simple.  The usual gapping sequence between wedges is:  Pitching wedge, 48 degrees; Gap wedge, 52 degrees; Sand wedge, 56 degrees;  Lob wedge, 60 degrees.  

These degrees may vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but generally speaking, that is your gapping of wedges.
