If you have an lob wedge, you could consider a lower bounce option to assist in hitting the ball off the hard or slack ground.

Grind

Gap wedges, such as the ones used for pitching and pitching, typically include the standard grind. However it is possible to have as many as six grind options for the Sand or Lob Wedges.
