ANY NEED FOR A WEDGE OVER 60 DEGREES ?

I know for I, 60 degree's is about the most loft I want in my bag.
If I need more, it is simple to just open it up. I carried a 64 degree for while (just sat in my bag so I yanked it).

ANY NEED FOR A WEDGE OVER 60 DEGREES ?

Yeah... it's an ego thing. "I'm so pure with my wedges that I can hit a 73-degree just fine!" Or you want to hit yourself in the head with range balls (another good reason to carry a 73-degree).

Or, you want a 64-degree with a sharp leading edge if you're playing in a U.S. Open at Winged Foot. If your ego is reasonably in check and you aren't playing in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, you don't need anything stronger than 60. Occasionally, you may wish for something, like when you feel like making a full swing but you're too close to the green to make a full swing with anything. Avoid this situation by playing smarter.

Maybe if you need to hit a shot backwards, over your head? Seriously, unless you are named Mickelson, I can't imagine needing a 64 in your bag. Personally, I had my 60 degree bent to 58 because I just popped up the 60 degree half the time.

I use my 64 strictly for sand or deep rough around the green. I just am not confident enough to "open up" my 56. I try in a practice bunker at the local range, but I just can't seem to get it right.

I'd be afraid the ball would end up landing on my head with a 64 degree.

....Could have a need....but since I have only 14 clubs allowed in the bag...I rather save the spot for a club that will be used more often.

The solution is to open up the face of a 60* lob and do a cut shot.

Sure, if you like hitting yourself in the chin.

yeah, i'm going to lose the 60 degree and replace it with a good fairway wood instead. my 55 degree is enough for anything short.
