I keep one in my bag but I almost never use it anymore and find that I can do the same shots with my 56° and more.

I have a 60, but hit my 56 way to good. 60 degrees are hard to hit so I leave mine in the bag.

My most used club in the bag is my 64 degree wedge. Use it almost all short game shots around the green and my full swing it goes probably 75-80 yards so I use it as my club any yardage less than that

The club that I love to hate !

I currently have a Ping Glide 3.0 60*, a Ping Eye2 lob and a Cally McDaddy 60 *


I had a Taylormade Hi-Toe 60 degree, it is the only club that I ever threw in anger and it currently resides in the lake on number 18 at Greatwood GC after it cheated me out of a great round.

I carry a 60, but only because we have tons of cross bunkers that I often have to carry after missing a green.

I prefer my 56 for most pitches.

The 60 is the wedge I use the vast majority of the time. I hit it 100 yards and I also use it for virtually every pitch and chip I hit

You must have developed a tremendous feel with that club.

Do you have several flights with it?
Low skipper? High flop? Others?

If I’m pitching from inside 50 yards I use my 56.
For bump and run, I vary the club.

Maybe I should just find a one club multipleshot solution.

This game has so many ways to play a 30 to 50 yard shot.

Yes I’ve learned to hit every type of shot inside 100 with it. I even chip with it a lot of the times. Honestly it is the club I practice with the most when I am practicing short game, so it’s the club I have the best feel with. I should probably hit different wedges for different shots but i feel more confident with it because it’s what I use the most

Makes sense to me.

I love my 56. Of course, I can’t hit it by about 75-80 with as full a swing as I would take with a wedge.

The 60 is a mystery to me. I don’t think I can hit it 50 yards, but the shots I Reserve for it a short sided over a bunker type flops.

Outside of a putter my 60 is the most used club in the bag for me. It’s a high bounce Vokey. I use it green side and up to 90 yards out.

Unless the lie is pretty firm or tight and then I’ll grab the 56.. my 60 is also my green side bunker club.

I carry a 60 but don’t use it unless I’m at a bad angle or next to the lip of a bunker

I use my 56 for most. 60 only comes out if I'm extremely short sided or REALLY need the height

I use my Cally MD 60-12 out of green side bunkers and tricky downhill chips around the greens.

51, 55, and 60 degree wedges.
55 is the go-to wedge.
60 is a love/hate thing.

I have a 56 with 10 degrees bounce and a 60 with 6 degrees bounce. Unless it’s the rare case where loft really comes into play for me, I’ll use either one based on the lie. I mostly use 56 in all cases but I’ll hit the 60 if the lie is really firm and tight. I feel like I can hit it off the cart path with that 6 degree bounce. It the ball is sitting up in green side rough, I’ll open the 56 to keep the club from knifing down under the ball.

58 is my most lofted

Really don’t like any of my wedges, but can’t find right combination.

i carry a 58 and a 60 right now because I don't have a 3 wood in my bag.

58 has low bounce for tight, hard green side lies, 60 has high bounce for steep sand shots and I can drop dimes with it 50-70 yards out.

I use my 52 for chipping/pitching typically, 56 for flops and bunker shots, as well as about 100 and in. Dont see the need for a 60
