what is a 60 wedge? pitching wedge?
[/ QUOTE ]
60 degrees of loft on the face of the wedge. it's also called a lob wedge. I can't hit mine more than 40 yards or so, because i find that the harder i swing the less distance i get, it just goes higher in the air.
for reference, a pitching wedge is 54 degrees, sand wedge is usually 56-58. My uncle has a "Tom Watson wedge" that is 64 degrees.

you should be able to hit your 60 110yds ez controllin ball flight by movving it back in your stance (the tiger woods stinger) your problem is your "hitting" the ball and have an outside in swingpath which increase the effective loft of the wedge. by the time you make caontact your 60 is an 80.

yea i know, but if i'm between 40 and 125 out i just hit varying strengths of a pitching wedge. I really only use the 60 when i'm around the green and need to get up and down (which is pretty much every hole). also i'm just a recreational player (around a 15 handicap).
