An ultra lob wedge is a type of golf club used to hit a shot with higher and shorter trajectory than a lob wedge. This club is labeled "UL" and has a loft of about 64° and has the highest loft of any golf club in the sport of golf. It is used for specialized, extremely high-angle shots such as from the "lip" of a bunker. This wedge is generally made by specialty companies and some argue that their purpose is redundant, as a lob wedge can be "opened" for extra loft in situations calling for such a high launch angle. Furthermore, to get consistent results, this club requires skill - in particular, distance jugement is always key with such a lofted club. It can be noted that different lengths of swing will often yield a similar distance but with varying trajectories and thus roll (on the green).
