When searching for equipment of this type, you may find higher lofts, as high as 68, but these are not very common.  When you look at these golf wedges, it produces very high shots and is great to use for approaches to the green from very high grass and deep rough.  The higher models are developed for recovery strokes over trees and from the lips around the fringe of bunkers.
