Lob Wedge... yes or no?

[burnabao]

My 60* is a real get-out-of-jail-free card for me. The only time I won't use it is for a full or 3/4 shot from a really tight lie on hard ground, where the loft/bouce can combine to equal a blade over the green. Out of the bunker, it's like cheating. The fact that it's the most worn of my 3 wedges is no coincidence. I'm considering a 64*, but that might be too much even for me...!

I so love my 60* lob wedge. I used it a lot last year. I've been out three times now this yeaer and everytime I miss the green on a par 3 or my approach shot on a par 4 I'm using it from 30 yards and in. I can usually flop it in range to ensure a one putt.

My money club use to be my 56* sandwedge, but I haven't even pulled it out of the bag yet this year!

My 60* is like throwing darts!

I just put one in the bag a few weeks ago. It has helped me save par several times now (and helped me get a birdie) since I didn't have to manipulate ball position, stance, and club face of my 56* to pitch to a tight pin. Loving it so far.

For me the most consistent green-side chipping method is the 60*. Most will and do say I am crazy. I play the ball back in my stance, hit low liners, and spin the hell out of it. Up-n-down % from last year was over 55% so this method works for me.

yes...no full shots tho. they tear the ball up too easy

I carry a 60 lob, but I only use it as a bunker club, as well as my 54, 60 mainly for tight greenside or deep pot bunkers and the 54 for lower lipped or longer bunker shots.
I will use the 60 though if I need to go high quickly, like over a tree etc.
My PW caters for any shot from 100 down to greenside chips/bump & runs so no need for a GW for me.

I love my 60* wedge. Use it for a full 85 yard club. Off tight lies. Short sided pitches. Hard bunkers. Plus a lot of midrange pitches.

I cant stand the things!!!!! I only carry 13 clubs and could easily find foom for one but i dont want one!!!

Amen to that! Personally, I'd like to see anything over, say, 56° banned. Still, that's probably just me. I don't carry one btw!

If I gave up my 60 i would see my handicap go up overnight. That club is awesome. I like low bounce on mine. 4 to 5 degrees.
