I had no idea until yesterday, I thought they were the same loft.
I can't shoot in the 60's anymore, or even get close. I shoot lower 80's now and feel pretty good about it. When I was sometimes getting into the 60's, I was hitting fade as my natural shot pattern. I could hit a draw if I wanted to, but it wasn't very natural and I didn't have the ability to control it. It was mainly just used as a scrambling shot. The hook started in college when they started tweaking my swing. I got worse with instruction but alot of it was me trying to figure out how to hit a high draw which turned into pretty much a hook. It required me to totally revamp and invent my swing.
With that said, I bet you could shoot 60's at easy muni wide open courses even with a hook or a slice under perfect conditions.

The more I learned about the golf swing the worse I got, I wanted more distance and a textbook swing etc.. wish I could go back to being young dumb and cocky.
