I have a 60* which I love. I used to have a 64* which I miss. I only carry 13 clubs right now. I'm thinking of getting a 68* LW. I use for certain chips and pitches. I play it back a little in my stane or with my hands forward. Helps with clean contact but gets the ball up fast and stops it quick.

No lob wedge required!  I tried using an LW when they first became popular and could never hit one, so I dumped it.  I've always been able to hit balls high, so opening up a SW a little and I can get a ball to almost jump straight up, so I've never found a need for an LW.

I use a 58-12 for pitching, sand and some chips.  I use my 52-14 for chipping.  I have never tried a 60 deg or greater lofted wedge.  I can do just about everything including flops with the 58.

If you can't hit it then it doesn't belong. For me it's my everything 50 and in club I have a sm5 a grind 60.08 or 07. Can't remember but I love it

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Shindig · Posted

      I haven't run the ShotScope yet, but I played 18 today.  I hit a great drive on 6 and then, holes 7-17 (excluding par-3s) I hit some very uninspired drives.  Then, after hitting on 17, I realized I'm over-swinging.  So at 18, I took a practice swing with the drill I've been doing during practice shots at home the past few weeks.  Then I decided, one more practice swing, but you know, with the ball right there. So I did.  I didn't even hit it at full speed.  It resulted in a nice high draw and settled onto the fairway.  To put it simply:  if the rules allowed me to place the ball anywhere in my reasonable shot zone as that tee shot, the spot I would have chosen is where it ended up.  I went on to hit two more good shots (it's a par-5) and left myself with a 7' birdie putt.  While I missed it, that drive is going to stay in my head for a very long time.

      Day 5 (25 Jun 26) - continued drills w/7i, hard foam balls focused on “nipping the tee below the ball” to reinforce consistent face contact.  Hit about 40 shots total.
