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...

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
