re: 60-90 yards out. Tight fairway lie. What club(s) are your options

I started laying further back on short par 4’s. I dont go at par 5’s if I know I can’t get to the green. Im terrible from 30-60 yards.
90 yards is a 3/4 lob wedge so I try to get to that number off the tee.

I was having some issues for a couple weeks with it. Put it further back in the stance to be more consistent getting ball first strike

56 or 60 if it’s really tight. Full swing 60 is about 100 yards for me

Buy this club or similar and never look back:
"The Ping S159 B Grind wedge is a low-bounce (8°), wide-sole option designed for shallow attack angles and firm turf conditions, commonly available in 58° and 60° lofts. It offers forgiveness on square-faced shots, helping prevent digging, while its design allows for versatility, making it excellent for soft, fluffy sand bunkers."
I had the same issues; sweeper swing, tight lies were killing me. Simply bought a Ping B grind wedge, problem went away and never looked back. It great out of bunkers as well. It just like it "floats" on top of the turf and rarely if ever digs in. That wide sole is a life saver on tight lies which are all over my home course.

Low bounce wedges

54degree without a doubt

Depending on what is working for me at the time, i'll either:
A: Hit 5w off the tee to have a full swing 7i-pw,
or
B: use my gap wedge and hit a good hard, low shot that rolls up
I haven't been able to hit a reliable iron in a month. So, lots of gap wedge for me.

Been hitting a low bounce 50 a ton for most 40-80 yard pitch shots. Love keeping it low and getting a lot of check. I hit a very sweepy shot from that range.
I’m like another poster, I rarely hit beyond 50% with a 58, it’s super low bounce but I always cut under it. Use it all the time around the greens.
80-120 is either 3/4-full 54 or 50.

Played again yesterday and had much better success from these areas. Actually shot an 85 which was a PB for me and it really could have been much better. Doubled 17 and 18 and we were playing on greens that got punched 4 days prior.
On the shorter end of this distance I used my lowest bounce wedge, which is 50 degree. Ball position slightly forward, 3 to 9 swing with minimal hinge. Out to ~90 I used a similar swing with the ball around center with my pitching wedge. Another thing that I realized I wasn't doing when I was struggling here was choking down on the club. Just doing that probably helped as much as anything.

Weight stays on left side (for a righty) the entire shot. Take one club extra. This will help make more consistent crisp strikes. Bounce of club is less affective because you will be so far ahead of ball delofting and changing bounce.

58 degree wedge. Slightly back of stance center, weight slightly forward on front foot, drive through shot. Comes out low, skips once and checks.

I use a Callaway Mac daddy c grind - 54 degrees
It’s a old club but I have confidence with it
I use it full swing about 90-100.
If I have to hit less than 90 I use a 60 degree- I hate taking a less accurate half swing because I have a tendency to decelerate the club
