I carry a 60* lob, and I practice with it. But admittedly, it can be tricky to finesse accurate distances. Repeatable swings give repeatable distances for all my other wedges, but the 60* is tough. I find myself using it less on course.
I am a wedge hound. Been studying grinds for 15 yrs.
Your lob wedge grind may not fit your swing - 60 should not be tough on a half or full swing.
Get fit, even though that's tough because of lack of knowledge by store fitters.
Have someone look at your swing - steep? shallow? Does the bounce and grind fit your swing? Try a different grind and see what happens. I've played a 58-60 wedge as my highest lofted club for 20 yrs. Right now, I'm 48, 53, 58. But the loft is not important. It's whether the grind fits and gets you the contact and spin you need.
