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.

Driver: 913D2, 9.5°
3-Wood: V-Steel, 15°
Hybrid: Rescue Dual TP, 19°
Irons: MP-64, 4-PW
Wedges: Vokey SM 54.10, 60.08 Putter: Studio Style Newport 2

Ball: ProV1

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.

    • Day 1:  I had my first “real” practice today at the driving range.  I hit two buckets of balls utilizing all of my clubs minus the pitching wedge (I haven’t had a lesson on that one yet).  
    • like I don't like to think I'm an amazing player as I play off around 7-8 handicap or anything but The one miss I have at the minute is with my strike and its getting really frustrating because I don't see what's causing it please don't say basic stuff like I don't weight shift etc because it wont help here are some videos form certain angles (these aren't that fat in the video maybe slightly chunked but its more the fact that the chunk happens 1 in every 4 iron shots so I'm never consistent) https://imgur.com/epaeE4D https://imgur.com/CKeV0Nm https://imgur.com/lJkliwd https://imgur.com/a/1Z7VwK9
    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post. If I had more time I’d have written a shorter one. – Erik J...  
    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
