Loft wise, yes. The only difference could be the grind. But if it is not a custom club, they are the exact same thing.

Is a 60 degree SW the same as a 60 degree LW?

If it's marked a sandwedge, it would likely have more bounce...

There could be a HUGE difference in bounce.. a LW can have 4 degrees while most sand wedges have what??? 14-16 degrees...

Nah, there's no set rule. The only real difference is sematnics. I don't have an actual "sand wedge" in my bag, just two wedges, 53 and 60.

Still if it's marked as SW it'll have more bounce.

...and the toe grind for opening up the club in the sand. I don't think many people open up a lob wedge

If the grind/bounce doesn't allow me to open up a wedge I don't want it in the bag. That's not just for the LW either.

yeah i get your point... a 60 degree wedge is just going to say 60 on it... I guess it is only in my mind that I would call a 60 degree wedge with a small amount of bounce a Lob Wedge and one with a lot of bounce a 60 degree sand wedge. The below is from the cleveland web site... their 1 dot 60 degree wedge has 4 degrees of bounce.. what "I" would call a LW... their 3 dot 60 has 14 degrees of bounce,,, what I would call a SW... however, most folks would just call both of them a LW.

.. I don't think many people open up a lob wedge

??? I don't play a wedge with enough loft for it to be considered a "Lob" wedge (I'd consider anything 58+ a lob wedge), but those who do seem adamant they HAVE to be able to open it up...

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
