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.

besides the PW that came with my set my only other wedge is the 56. If I need more loft just open it up and my stance.

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.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
