A golf club constructed with 60-64 degrees of loft. Such a club is indispensable at stopping a golf ball quickly once it has plopped on a green. Very useful club to have when one needs to get over a hazard and stop the ball fast to get it near the pin.
Accuracy in the placement of the club in the direction normal to the ground is critical with the lob wedge. If one's extension falls apart during the execution of the shot with such a club, the result will not be the soft, high-flying lob desired; rather, the shot is likely to be a skull. This then leads to anger.
