    I have 3 Vokey wedges, (64*(60yds), 60*(80yds), and 56*(100yds)).  The 64* and 60* are extremely inconsistent when hitting full shots from the fairway.  First not sure why the 60* wedge is always the default club for any shots 60 yds and under.  Here are some examples of what I am experiencing:

    A 62 yd shot from the fairway, 28 mph tailwind, up 8ft.  Adjusted distance 58 yds.  I used the 64* wedge, no spin, hit the ding and the ball landed 15 yds short.  If I had used the 60* wedge instead of the 64* the ball would have landed shorter.  

    When I use the 64* wedge this is a common result, no matter the wind or elevation the ball generally lands 10-15 yds short.   

    Same result when using the 60*:

    68 yd shot 10-15 mph sidewind, down 2 ft, ball lands 10 yds short.  

    I realize these shots could come up short if I was hitting into a headwind, especially the 64*, but why or how would a shot with tailwind of almost 30 mph come up short? 

    Any help would be appreciated.
