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

      Wow that was disingenuous. Like, let’s ignore that golfers actually rotate. It isn’t all side bend. Has incorrect or excessive side bend hurt golfers sure. In no way are golfers taught to just fling their hips towards the target. To basically claim it’s him versus this evil golf instruction industry is just disingenuous.

      I'm starting to move with some speed and confidence. Carried the fairway bunker 225 yards out on the 17th yesterday fairly comfortably. I don't think it was a one off drive either. Pretty much back to game speed. On another note it doesn't seem like my pelvis is nearly as thrusty compared to a this time last year. I hope I'm judging that correctly. It's an ongoing battle.
