For me this is a unsure hard 60 degree which hasnt been working, or a controlled sand iron, which usually is a 100 yrd club.  The course I play usually is very fluffy around the greens so if any short iron lands short it usually stops where it hits.  I feel driving has been great lately, the regular Sunday group I play with everyone plays from the whites which has quite a few short par 4s with a good drive im leaving myself quite a few of these 60-85 yard feely shots that haven't been converting pars as easy as they probably should be.

I have a 54 degree Vokey I love from 100 yards and in. I switch to sixty degree usually for the 60-40 yard fuller swings and then inside that depends on where pin is. If up front may use 60 but otherwise a controlled pitch or chip with the 54 or PW. But I suck so take that with a block of salt.

Tough shot.  With all the rain we've had; total distance and carry are identical of late.  I usually go with a 54 or 58, depending on how thick the vegetation is, and plan on zero or negative roll.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Playing from 78 yards, it depends on the shot that is required.    I may drive it in low to play for 2 big bounces with bite, or fly to the cup on the fly.   Like isukgolf said (lol @ that name) ...... It depends on the shot that is required.

Full shot with 56 degree, but I prefer to not use it for that. 

8-iron to A3 and then a full finish gets me 75 or so yards.  I prefer using that when I can.

Depends in pin location. If the pin is near the front then a 58 wedge so I can land on the green and stop. If it is near the back I'll pitch it up with an 8i or 9i.

Regardless of pin placement, it would be a full 60, choked down an inch.  The only thing that would alter that, besides hitting from under a tree or something, would be wind.
