Like any lob wedge, it can generally differ between 60, 62, or 64 degrees.
It's between 56, and 60 degrees. I'm not sure which
The loft is 60 degrees. The original ping Eye SW was 57*, the LW 61* The Ping Eye 2 + (plus) SW is 53*, SW 58*
It hits the ball
Utility wedge, it is like a gap wedge 50 degrees or so.
A great club for 100 yards out.
The "A" wedge is sometimes lumped with the Gap wedge although increasingly more often they are split out for the gap to be defined as 50-54 degrees while the "A" (or approach) wedge is between 46 and 50. These have increased in popularity as manufacturers have decreased the loft of irons for the purposes of range through the 90's as more and more golfers (whether by improved skills, manufacturing techniques or "forgiveness") were able to hit short irons much more consistently.The Nike golf site lists the A wedge as a 50 degree loft and 64.5 degree lie.
The 54 is a sand wedge, SWs have a higher bounce to get the ball out of sand easier.
45 degrees and sand wedge 55 degrees. They sell a gap wedge to bridge the 10 degree gap which is 50 degrees and stamped A on the sole_I am currently looking for one!!
It is the ping colour code system. It helps custom fit clubs for people. For example black is standard lie and blue is 3/4 of a degree upright. Full details can be found on the ping website.

Ping Eye 2 irons may be the best irons Ping or anyone else ever made. Mark Calcavecchia won in Montreal, June 24, 2012, using Eye 2's. Holed a lob wedge on the 16th. TV announcers said Calc was even more consistent than Mickelson with the L wedge.
