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.

most consistent club in my bag. Love it for any shot inside 100 yds. Fairway, rough & bunker. Just love it! Putter, driver & the rest of the irons are my let down :D

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
