ONOFF Labo Frogs Leap Wedge – It’s an interesting concept a 70* wedge that plays to an effective 64* when used as advised. ONOFF has released three lofts 52/64/70 each can be adjusted up to 1* stronger or weaker and the basic premise is you play these closed down a bit and come into the ball square versus across the ball. ONOFF wants players to realizing how it’s used looking beyond it’s loft and not just consider this a normal wedge at 70*.
The 64* and 70* feature a twin cut sole that has variable bounce angles and out near the toe the 70* plays to 24* bounce, toward the heel it’s 12* but center where bounce is usually measured it’s 14* This is something most players don’t take into account when figuring out bounce, that manufactures tend to measure center while a wedge can play totally different from the heel and toe.

These wedges are cast, finished in satin and mirror, why make a 52* along with a 64 and 70? for the chip and run shot and these wedges are designed to promote better contact and less topping or thin shots around the green.
The photo above shows the club hovering but when it’s placed on the ground it naturally rocks a little closed, you can play the 70* slightly open for 70* loft or open it up further for even more, I’ve tried this and the face just slides right under the ball which would make it great for a short shot from atop a hill going down to a fast green.
The 64* is similar as well, pretty much plays to a 58-60* closed down or a full 64* slightly open, the sole design of the 64* starts at the bounce at the toe with 23* then moving toward the heel 13* and 11*.
The 52* has a different sole grind that the Labo Dept calls Wave Sole yet it’s designed to serve the same purpose providing better turf interaction, allowing the leading edge to sit low near the ground and provide interaction that increases your chances of a better approach shot. TourSpecGolf has these listed in our Online Store and these are shipping well at the moment but keep in mind like all Labo Clubs they are Limited Editions and will be gone as soon as stock runs out.
