I'm thinking of using my 60 deg in longdrive
competitions. I can hit it about 200 yards, 3
feet off the ground with very little spin when
just off the green, might as well put that
distance to good use off the tee.

Can a golfer hate an inanimate object like a
golf club? I hate my 60 degree wedge. Hate it!
Ever since that Pelz guy popularized the 4 wedge
concept, I've lost more strokes than I've
gained. What's the point of a 60 degree club if
you already have a 56 or a 58 in the bag? Open
the 58 two degrees and you have a 60. And please
spare me the "you increase the bounce" argument.
A 58 degree with say 10 degrees of bounce only
changes a couple degrees - meaningless. And not
to put too fine a point on it, how does one know
he's opened club face 2 degrees? That's an
infinitesimally small change.
I recently had conversation with a golfer who
"needed" a 60 degree wedge, a Vokey. He spent a
half-hour in the golf shop looking at 60's's but
couldn't find one with the "correct" bounce..
There were 10 and 12 degree bounce heads but he
insisted that he "needed" an 8 degree because of
the hard fairways. The guy "knew" exactly what
he needed because he read Pelz's book. He's a 19
handicapper who has never broken 90. Now, with a
60 degree, he'll raise scores rather than lower
them. I told the guy to get a 56 or a 58 with
the least bounce available. Nope, gotta do what
the book says works. Even worse, I have yet to
find a Vokey or a Cleveland or a Callaway wedge
that measures what is stamped on the head. Not
one single time.
The cost of advertising strikes again.
