Really? IMO, it is exactly the same as hitting a 53, it just goes a shorter distance. I am a 4 or a 5 though, not a 15 or a 20. And there is obviously a difference. I do think that watching a 20 handicap try and hit a 60 degree wedge when they could easily just bump one up there 10 feet from the hole is cringe worthy.

I remember using a 56* wedge in college (before 60* were widespread) and having no issues at all on courses that were brutal.
Hmm. Maybe this is because you are good? If I could just open up the face of a 56 and hit higher, softer shots, I could see what you are saying more.
Also, I am probably coming at this wrong because I have a 53/58 setup, so when I think 56 degree, I am thinking of how I hit my 53, and when I think 60 degree, I am thinking of how I hit my 58.
