Loft is being measured in degrees, but can vary when you compare name brands. For each higher club number add about 4 degrees loft. A wedge for example has a high angle - between 52 and sometimes even 64 degrees.
For the most part, the number "represents" the loft of a club. The lower the number, the lower the loft and the longer the club. The lower loft and longer club will result in greater distance with a loss of accuracy.
loft-- The amount of angle on a club face from vertical. Also, the height to which a golf shot is hit.

Face Loft - this is the angle of the putter face as it contacts the golf ball. Obviously, it is best if the face is exactly perpindicular to the ball at impact.
Less loft means greater control. Stopping it will be no problem.

In golf the loft of the clubface does the lifting, any lifting on our part totally defeats this purpose.
The recommended loft for most players is 10.5 to 12 degrees. Players with handicaps below 10 may want 9.5 degrees of loft, but below that it really becomes difficult to keep your ball in play.
There is plenty of loft on a 3-wood, for example, to get the ball airborne, so don't worry about anything except a low, slow, smooth swing.

He did not cite the loft of the driver used but it has been assumed that it was a standard 10o commonly used at the time. He found that the carry of a golf ball depended linearly on the launch speed by the equation C = 1.
Every degree that the shaft leans toward the target reduces the loft by the same amount.
The lower the number on the club, normally the longer the shaft to give a bigger swing-arc, and the less the degree of loft on the face. These are designed to hit the ball lower over longer distances.
