Best lob wedges from the greenside rough? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

Aug 11, 2021

In our forums, our members have been discussing lob wedges that are effective from the greenside rough.

WRXer ‘Killerswing1’ plays at a home course with small greens surrounded by rough and is having trouble stopping chips with his Ping Eye 2 XG (60 degrees). He is considering playing the brand’s Glide 3.0 and has reached out to our members for their thoughts – who have been sharing their advice that goes beyond just club selection.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

dlygrisse: “I would get something with a good amount of bounce. The thing is, the wedge you have should be a pretty good tool for the job, although some fresh grooves may help a smidge. I would consider two things. 1. Your technique, if you can’t hold the green with an Eye2 60 then you must be playing the ball way back in your stance and delofting it or something. 2. Try a 64 degree wedge. They aren’t for everyone, but maybe in your circumstances, it would be a good fit.”
Jeff58: “*Generally* chips from around 10 yards only create 1000-1400 RPMs of spin, which isn’t enough to stop any ball dead with any legal club. The only way is an open face lob shot, which may or may not be possible, though usually high risk at any rate. That said, some clubs are better than others. If your conditions tend to be damp, a Glide3 will give you much more spin. If your impacts aren’t always perfect, Zipcore’s maintain spin very well and also do well in damp conditions. Your Eye2’s are mostly intended as sand wedges and have a great deal of bounce. A lower bounce may also help.”
nostatic: “Glide 3.0 is a good choice if you want some forgiveness. I have the Eye2 grind in 54, 56, 60 and swap them depending on the details. I find it a versatile grind, great out of the sand and works for me from the rough. Of course it depends on how much you practice a given shot. I don’t play rounds that often, but pitch/chip/putt most every day and that has lowered my bad chip ratio way down. I also had CBX 2, prefer the G3, ymmv.”
Jmccas: “Another vote for a Glide 3 Eye2 58 or 60. I use the 58 all around the greens, and it is great coming out of the dense Florida rough. I feel it provides maximum spin and forgiveness, although as others have said, coming out of the rough is gonna drag that spin down. I love the 58* Eye 2 for full swings. Great club for 80 yards and under.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
