I love the 60. I don't use it to chip but use it for everything 70 yards and in. I have a slower swing speed with my wedges and pretty much take a full swing with it. All I do is choke up on it to vary my distances to try to stick it close.

Love my 60'. Take my driver,3 wood,PW. Anything just don't take my 60'. I snapped one in a round a month or so ago and I was lost, didn't really know what to do.

Yup I do. Its a wonderful club when you are just a few yards from the hole, in thin rough and have a steep uphill lie. It'll pretty much go straight up.

I use to use a 60 but was not able to hit it from the fairway. Switched to a 52 and 56 the grap was not big enough so now I got 52 and 58, a good mix between. I may in the future go to a 50, 56 system as PW lofts are starting to be around 46, 47.

My lofts are 48, 54, and 60. It just so happens that the gaps between them are pretty nice, too... 120, 80, and I never hit a full lob wedge because it could go anywhere from 20 yards from a fluffy lie to about 150 if I really blade it good.

I use my 60 nearly all the time from within 40 yards or so, unless I've got a good amount of green or can play a bump and run. I use it from bunkers more than even my sand wedge.

I could have posted this word-for-word for me. Use my 60 exactly the same way.

My wedges are 46, 50, 54 and 58. I don't have a 60 because I like to have evenly spaced lofts. I use my 58 for almost every shot inside of 80 yards though.

    • When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?

    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
