Re: How do you remember everything? (swing questions)
I am not saying you should be hitting high shots with the lob wedge for simple chips and pitches. I will say that learning to hit low/medium/high shots around the greens with multiple clubs will improve your overall touch and feel. As long as you are good enough to make crisp contact most of the time, your margin of error with an L wedge is greater than with a 9 iron: i.e. if you take too big a swing with both, the 9 iron will go farther past than the L wedge. (assuming crisp contact) Most people who have trouble with the higher lofted wedges suffer from poor technique, and the slightly bigger L wedge swing can magnify that.
My suggestion would be to practice hitting different shots with different clubs, and finding out what seems most consistent for YOU.
FWIW I use the 60 degree for 75-80% of shots around the green, but most of the amateurs I play with are surprised at how low the ball goes.
