20 Best Lob Wedge For Beginners (2023 Updated)

Played these for almost a year now , about 40 rounds. Try to ignore reviews where they state right out of the box or played once and love them. Let’s hit them for awhile and really know the results. I love these irons.

Knew because of loft would be hitting one club less , 8 has replaced 7 and so on , but man these things fly. The 5 iron , nicknamed rocket , is now my driving iron. Being a senior golfer and play form the senior tees do play some par 4s that are less than 340 yards.

Well hello Rocket , so far has maxed out at 231 , averaged off tee 215-220. They are so solid , much easier to hold solid through contact. Slice is now a rarity , wish I could say non existent. Sound off impact is clear solid and refreshing.

Have read some reviews about holding their finish , mine have held up great. I play public courses so terrain not always the best , but mine have held up very well. Made such an impact on me and results one of my golf partners now owns a set and loves them.

They are beautiful irons that fly true straight and long and really help this old body when it doesn’t fell like helping.

Acquired the SIM Max #7 Rescue club about six months ago to replace my (Callaway Strata Ultimate 7 iron with a 34degree loft), which has proven very difficult for me to hit, as a beginner, of two years.

The SIM Max Rescue club allows me to hit 130 yards, or so, with way more ease and accuracy than the evil 7 iron. Yesterday, the recently ordered SIM 2 Max #3 hybrid arrived. Tomorrow, a regulation 18-hole course with this new club is highly anticipated.

The Callaway Strata Plus #3 fairway wood that I’ve been using has worked well for me. However, due to the good success with the #7 SIM Max Rescue club, it will be nice to see how well the #3 works for me.

The SIM2 Max #3 has 19 degrees versus 15 degrees with the Callaway Strata Plus 3 fairway wood. Hoping for straighter shotsy from the fairway with a little more loft and more success, with longer shots form the rough, with this new club.

Recently cracked the face on my gamer, Adams black super hybrid and was looking for a similar more rounded shaped hybrid which is rare. I tried out the Apex, Apex Pro, Sim2, Sim2 Max, G425, Tour Edge C721, and TSi2 hybrids.

Out of the bunch, I liked the G425 and the regular Apex because they are extremely forgiving but was not a fan of their iron-like looks. I was close to purchasing a regular Apex but randomly came across this club and was convinced by all the great reviews.

They weren’t lying! The biggest reason to buy this club is that it sits flat and a touch open making it much harder to hook than any other hybrid I have tried. Even adjustable hybrids often have more weight in the heel or a lot of offset making them hook monsters.

Also for a “pro” hybrid this club is extremely forgiving and has a large enough sweet spot for all handicaps. This club launches high and straight, with a true flight (no ballooning) and has a great muted sound/feel.

The stock KBS shaft is also perfect for this club. It feels very stable and is so well balanced that is it hard to overswing. It should be noted that the shaft lengths are a bit shorter compared to other models out there so you may see a slight decrease in distance compared to your current hybrid.

The Mavrik Pro 3 hybrid is 40″ compared to the Sim2 Max 3 hybrid which is 40. 75″. I prefer the shorter shaft because it fits in better with my iron distances and is a bit easier to control but some people may prefer more distance oriented hybrids.

The Mavrik Pro is like a combination of the regular Apex and the Apex UW but half the price since it is a year older. I purchased my mine with the current 25% discount for $115 in “like-new” condition which is an absolute steal for the performance.

Not sure how this club flew under the radar but I guarantee, you will not be disappointed!.

Received the club by post as expected, within timetable stated. Fully boxed and in perfect condition. Have been using another brand driver for the past 5/6 years and due to ageing have lot some metres.

This Mavrik (great name by the way) came with a seniors shaft as ordered. As soon as I held the club it had great feel, comfortable and felt great in the swing. No practice but was out competing against my mates the very next day.

First drive was out of the centre, straight and directly to my target. In fact as I was aiming fairway left I found the ball had gone through the fairway by about 10 metres. Unusual I thought. During that first 18 holes I missed (mishit as was over did the swing speed) only 2 fairways.

I have now used the club in 3 rounds and without doubt I have added between 30/40 metres onto my normal driving distance with the old competitors club. I am nearly overwhelmed with the accuracy and definitely overjoyed with the distance I have gained.

Helped break my handicap in 2 out of the 3 round. A fabulous possession right there. Recommend to all ageing golfers, if using a regular shaft, go grab a Mavrik.

Being a little older now I was looking for a driver with R flex shaft to replace my 909-D2 stiff shafted driver. I read reviews on some of the items on sale. When I saw the review of the shaft in the Mavrik it sounded like a good fit.

I purchased the club – 10. 5 degrees, and left it set at standard loft, etc. The club looks great at address. I have hit stiff shafts in the past because R flex shafts felt too whippy, and the club face too hard to control.

This club has none of that for me. I hit 5 or 6 drives at the range before teeing off the day I bought it, and was amazed at how light it feels, but never feels like the club head is out of sync. During the round I hit drives longer than the 909-D2 with much less effort, which was one thing I hoped for at my age.

The biggest issue I had was remembering to slow down so I could keep a consistent swing path through the shot. I could tell where the ball was going to go easily by the way it felt off the club. Love the sound on flush hits, but mostly it feels like a club I can make a great drive with and not have to muscle it through the swing.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I highly recommend you consider these wedges if you need a forgiving club around the green. I was inconsistent in my short game around the green, from 80 yards to up close. So after trying a few different lofts for the Woman’s Cleveland CBX2 at a PGA Superstore, I purchased two there – a 56 and a 50 degree.

And after a bit of practice to get a good feel for the distances and handling, I took them to the course and was thrilled with the result. (The 50 degree travels 75 to 80 yds on a slow easy full swing for me & I use the 56 degree from 60 yds or less onto the green.

) These clubs are very forgiving and travel about where you’d expect even if you accidentally contact the ball close to the toe or the heel. And there is no need to open up the club face – so, you can swing it square like all your other clubs and have it pop up nicely.

I no longer worry about having to chip over sand traps or short distances out of rough or other conditions. Yay! However I did feel the need for a higher loft for when my ball lands in bunkers with high edges near flags.

My old 64 degree club worked ok, but often left the ball up on the grassy top of the lip. So I have ordered a customized women’s CBX2, to get a 62 degree loft & added 0. 5 inches added to the shaft. I love that Cleveland Golf provides you the opportunity to customize, as my golf pro felt I should keep the six degree difference between my three wedges, So soon I’ll have a 50, a 56, and a 62 degree.

I did call Cleveland golf customer service to get a bit of advice re customized choices as the terminology was new to me. I can’t wait to get it and attack those sand traps with more confidence than ever before.

PS It’s just $10 to customize to cover any & all changes – loft, length, lie, and even personalize club colors. By the way, I received no compensation for this review, I only made the review to encourage other women to try these out, since they’ve helped me so much.

This will be a strange review simply because I have yet to hit a single shot with these new wedges. Where I live, it snows, and my golf season ended about a month ago. Nevertheless, the Cleveland wedges have a great look and I bought them sight unseen for 2 reasons.

First, the Cleveland name and reputation. I have used Cleveland wedges for many years and in my view they are the best. Secondly, the price. These wedges were $20 to $40 (each) less than other places (and I looked at many both on-line and locally).

My only complaint is the grip. The wedges came with a low end cheap grip which I quickly upgraded. I look forward to using these in the spring after the snow is gone.

Coming from another excellent wedge the RTX 4. Both are great first off. The Cbx2 is even better. It actually is more forgiving. For an example one you are 85 yards to the pin and pin is back of the green let’s say.

If I pulled my rtx 4 56 degrees and didn’t catch it flush it might fly 65 yards to the front of the green and leave me with a super long putt. This Cbx2 seems to not do that and flys further on slight miss hits.

Meaning much closer putts. Out of the sand this wedge is even better. A little bigger sole it helps. The sole grind allows for versatility chipping and pitching as well. I love it! Best club I’ve bought to date.

These wedges are awesome. They provide accurate feedback through the hit zone. Excellent for chipping it close. Surface of the wedges bite into the ball to provide lots of backspin to throw it close to the hole.

Great for any level player.

Was a bit unsure as they were so cheap brought these during lockdown and actually managed to break them out on the course today. Not disappointed well weighted and feels comfortable. Reduced my number of shots for the day.

Enjoy.

Clean finish. Feels good on off center hits. Gives a lot of forgiveness. Lob, sand or gap gives great height and stops quick.

Bought the 52, 56 and 60. All work great and just look good to stand over. Cant beat the price. Only complaint was the packaging. All came in a flimsy box with no packing that was destroyed by time it got to me.

No damage to clubs luckly. All other clubs i ordered came packed much better in higher qaulity boxes so must just be a different warehouse.

I had both Cleveland and Calloway wedges and struggled getting under the ball with both of them, especially on Florida winter hard pan. I started with the 60 and loved it. I was able to pick the ball off hard pan constantly.

I then tried the 56 for longer lobs and for the traps. I was sold and then bought the 52 to fill the remaining gap. I’m now playing in Ohio grass and roughs and still loving these wedges. My Cleveland and Calloway wedges are now in my guest bag.

like the club for playing out of thinned out bunkers, and poor lies on the short side. 64 degrees of loft is why I purchased it so I can let the club swing freely from a short distance. It has a good weight and the club head has a nice look.

The grip is not the best, but for the price it is a really great weapon for specific situations.

It is good quality product, but it probably will work for smaller (probably female) armpits. My height is 182 cm. and the pads are not covering whole area, so my shirt was still wet (of course less than without the pads).

Also in case of sensitive skin, it may feel discomforted by the end of the day. Despite the abovementioned, the product as I mentioned, is made out of good materials and sticks firmly to the skin during the day.

Nice club for $25. I’ve been using an old Arnold Palmer sand wedge for the last 20 yrs, and finally decided to update my wedge. I’m glad I’d made the purchase because the Pinemeadow wedge is pretty good.

Definitely recommend this brand for simple wedges like P, G, S, and L.

First of all I was surprised that Walmart would carry golf clubs, let alone the Pinemeadow brand! I needed a sand wedge to complete the set of clubs I received for my birthday and low and behold I saw this club! The club is a fine representative of Pinemeadow golf and all my buddies are impressed with how well they are made for the cost.

I am very happy with my purchase!.

From 40 yards out you cannot over shoot the green. Takes some practice figuring out chip shots around the green, but once you find your grip and shorten your swing this thing makes it easy to get up and down with a nice stick to finish it off.

It honestly makes your short game so much easier. Other than the occasional blading, I tend to lift my head, this thing is awesome. Everyone should have this club in their bag. Choke up and swing away for the best height you’ve ever has around the green.

This club takes the fringe conditions out of the equation, easy to get under the ball, since there’s no heel. It’s like hitting pop ups to infielders. Absolutely the best $35. 00 you can spend on your short game.

If you are like me, you are playing golf to relax and enjoy a sport, this club takes away the stress you have felt in the two shots it took you to get to the green. Bogie Golf is enjoyable golf in my opinion, and this club will put you in more par situations.

Is a poor product. Bought a pinemeadows golf putter just over a year ago. They will not stand behind it. Iron on head snapped.

First of all, shipping time was really fast on this item, which is why I like to use Walmart. com. I haven’t been able to use this club yet, due to the fact that it’s been too cold, but I looked at the club when I got it and checked it out.

It looks really nice. It has a nice feel and look. The length seems good, too, for an average-height person. The best part is the price. I did some research on these clubs, and this is one of the few companies that I could find that make this exact size wedge.

For the price, you can’t beat it. Now I just can’t wait to get on the course and try it out.

Just received my wedges in the black finish. I’m actually really impressed with the quality! The grooves and pattern of the face will definitely give great ball spin. The price is a definite plus!

i have read reports of blades being harder to hit than cavity back irons but these are easier to hit than my old big berthas. i like the greater weight and i am learning to hit back-spin which is easier with the milled faces.

it is easier to get divots on my swings. i am very pleased.

Super prices and quality. I couldn’t believe what was in the box when opened. There was nothing but goodness. Don’t waste your money on the high priced clubs before you try Lazarus.

The wedge itself is fine. However, the website picture shows it has the pink cancer survivor ribbon etched into the back of the club. The club we received did not have the emblem. That disappointed us.

I have a 9 handicap and have played golf for all my life. I played any type of club you can think of. My Cleveland wedges were getting tired so I needed a new set, being on a budget I thought I would try these out.

The wedges are great, great bounce, spin and control. I would recommend these to anyone.

I have used Wison wedges for a long time. What a great deal on the set. These wedges are great for any situation. Rough, sand, or off the fairway. They look great too.

I used them all on the course. Good wedges. I still have them in the garage but I purchased a set of the 1996 Callaway Big Bertha Irons with the RCH 96 firm flex shafts (3-9 Plus P Wedge, A Wedge, S Wedge, And L Wedge).

The pinemeadow Wedges were as good as the Callaway but The Callaways are in my set of Irons so I use them now. I would not take what I Paid for the Pinemeadow Wedges. I Might go back to them.

This little gem has done more for my game than a gross of Pro V’s! It pops the ball almost straight up if needed and yet carries 15+ yards if needs be. Can only praise it’s attributes and performance.

Can’t wait to try the 64degree purchased at the same time. Quality at the most reasonable price!!.

I have the older T-3 gun metal series. I have used them for almost 3 years and I absolutely love the performance. True temper wedge flex shafts, very minimal bounce on the sole, a sharp leading edge, round face, these are great ingredients to make a wedge that will do what ever you want in terms of shot shaping.

This is as good as it gets if you aren’t buying a $400 set of wedges.

I ordered these irons just before a golf vacation. They shipped fast and we’re very nice. I used all three over a 3 day/3 game series and was very impressed by how good they felt. Grips are good and the shafts are stiff.

The black finish comes off fairly easy, but I strike the ball with power, so a few wear spots is nothing uncommon. Definitely recommend these clubs for someone looking for a high value set of irons.

The feel on these clubs were way off and I never got a feel for them. The paint wears off almost instantly, and my game suffered do to the weight distribution. Broke my 60 in half and it is now at the bottom of a local courses lake.

Save your money and buy a name brand down the road.

I purchased the 3 piece wedge set 8 months ago as a beginner golfer. I can honestly say they have treated me very well. Since I purchased them I have played too many rounds of golf to count with even more range sessions.

They have held up surprisingly well. The reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because 1) the black finish chips away and gets scratched up fairly quickly, 2) for whatever reason the 52 degree wedge is shorter than the 56 degree.

For those who don’t know, lower loft typically means longer shaft. Other then that, these are some good quality wedges that are capable of putting up similar numbers as the name brands. If you are someone who only golfs a few times a year or is brand new to the game like I was – I would highly recommend trying these before spending $450+ on professional brand wedges.

Overall very happy with the 3 wedge set. For the price and quality it would be hard to find a better deal. I’ve had the Costco/Kirkland wedges (which are probably the closest in competition) and prefer the Stix.

Especially since you can get custom lengths. Have played a few rounds with them so far. First impressions- feel and look great. Decent amount of spin on the greens. Finish seems okay some minor scratches when hitting out of sand (no less than I have seen with other black wedges).

Seem to carry slightly longer and higher than other wedges (likely due to graphite shaft and part of reason I wanted to try them). Weight distribution feels smooth and easy to hit variety of shots. Moderate looking bounce angles.

Grips were okay, just a basic rubber grip that will suit most players and last awhile. Overall the looks and feel of the wedges inspired confidence at address and preformed as expected. I was hesitant at first given the inability to see in person prior to buying.

The 30 day trail helped my decision. Things for Stix to consider: -Add bounce angles to description -Be more transparent with shipping estimates -Change red line on wedge face to white -Consider steel shaft option and grip upgrades in the future.

Choosing, ordering, paying and getting the clubs are perfectly well organised. Packing and first Look are fenomenal. As it is still Winter time over Herr in Switzerland there hast been no chance to hit the clubs outside and an real turf yet.

First impression on hitting them in a simmulator is good. The grips might be a little thin and that there is only one shaft option are the only downsides yet. I m looking forward takeing the clubs out on the course.

Mails and Infos after getting the clubs made more than a professional impression and the idea of beeing like a team membre of the Stix family sounds like cool.
