Yes it is easy to hit the ball in the forehead, yes it is easy to get to handsy and hit it fat! however it is easy to hole out or get it close on those little 15 -30 foot pitch/chip shot's you encounter every round because it always seems you misson the wrong side of the green. Practice practice practice with this club and you'll find you love hitting those little 30-40yrd pitch shot's that instesd of flying over the green sit tight around 5-10 feetand those little chip shot's that roll by and leave you the 5 footer coming back turn into 8 inch kick in's. Bye it practice with it and you'll love it.

I disagree that high handicapers should stay away.. I play off 28 and love my 60. I find it no harder to hit than my other shot irons...

Consistency (at my level any way) is about the same as the rest of my bag and it gives you a few more options..

My 2 cents!

I'd second that.A player's handicap tends to reflect their overall game, not a single aspect of their game.I'm not great with a driver but I can chip and flop like Phil himself.Well.. not really, but you know what I mean.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I used to carry a 52, 56, and 60. I didn't like the 56 and couldn't get the roll I wanted with the 60. The 60 is great in tight shots with little or no green to work with. At the beginning of last season I had the 56 bent to a 58 because I was constantly second guessing my self when I had both the 56 and 60 in my bag. I found that you can get the same type of flop shots as the 60 and a little more roll on chips and pitch shots. That would be my recommendation. Go for a 58 but make sure you a good gap wedge such as a 52 or 54 for the farther chip shots and the bump and run shots.

I've been carrying a 58° wedge, but it hasn't even been used in a couple of months. I'm probably going to leave it out whenever golf becomes feasible around here again. My 56° Vokey has been my workhorse, so I'm just going to focus on that, with some help on longer chips with the 52° Vokey and my 47° Titleist PW.

I am looking for a new lob wedge
I have it down to the Vokey 60.04 and the cleveland CG12 DSG 60.04.
Which would you reccomend? I will be using the club from 30 yards and in for high soft shots. Spin isnt a priority either.

little bounce to make my bag more versatile

i have a standard 50.10, a high 56.14 so a low bounce lob wedge seems to make sense

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
