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.

You'd have to see his swing, really. Could be on path or inside with a reverse weight shift, but I agree most likely steep over-the-top.

Most people I know who can hit a lob wedge 110 yards are smart enough to throttle back a bit. That kind of distance often makes for too much of a distance-control gap on scoring clubs, thus less accuracy.

I'm thinking about a normal swing though, not a pinched/punched back-of- the- stance shot on a low trajectory.

if he has a reverse weight shift he will be hitting a majority of his shots fat or thin because he will be trying to mak contact on the upswing.
