I love mine... now.

Hated the inconsistency with the 60° when I first got it. But now I am loving it. After practicing with it I figured out that I was gripping the club too tight with my right hand ( I am a righty). When I loosen my grip to almost barely to nothing (2 out of 10) I got better results and better consistency. The flop shot is my favorite shot now. Love seeing the ball fly out of the club head.

I think it depends on what type of courses you are playing, if they are hilly around the greens, and more parkland style than I'd stick with the 60, but if you play links style courses I would pull it.

I love the 60 and have used a few of them, Vokey Spin Milled 60.08, Cally X-Tour 60.10 with MD grooves, Cleveland CG12 60.10. With some practice it isn't that hard to get fairly proficient and confident with it, great for pitches, greenside bunker shots, downhill chips and so forth. It is quite probably more versatile than most people give it credit for. As long as one doesn't try to get too cute with one when another club is called for it is a really a great asset. The 58 degree with a similar amount of bounce is probably just as good.

As a lot of other people have said, it's a consistency thing. Inside 100 yards, I might stick it to 5 feet on one shot, but put it in a greenside bunker the next.

It's one of those "When it's on, it's on" kinda clubs.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.

      That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
