The name of the Lazrus wedge should inspire you to come back from the dead positions most of us find ourselves in around the green. This forged head has all the classic looks of a quality wedge and is available in three lofts of 52° (8° bounce), 56° (12°) and 60° (10°).

The sole is reasonably generous and features a curved leading edge which helps with the forgiveness of the wedge from tighter lies. The Lazrus wedge is equally as good from the sand, fairway and longer grass so this is a very versatile wedge.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the 35.25 inch unbranded stepped steel shaft and the rather thin grip which don’t have the same quality feel. They let the Lazrus wedge down a bit and at this level of the market, the investment in better quality components would make the Lazrus contender to be one of the best golf wedges.
