I'm not disagreeing with you, but there are instructors out there who swear by the "find one club and stick with it technique". I personally only use my 60* around greens and seem to do fine with it. I have learned how to hit all kinds of shots with it. I have and will hit other clubs around greens, but not that often.

I'm pretty much the same. I wear out my 56˚ around the green. I will pull out lower lofts for long chips from time to time, but I mostly stick to the 56.

As for the OP, I'd rather get the ball rolling on chip shots these days. Found that there's a much better chance of it going where you want if it's rolling earlier. For me at least. I've chipped in a bunch of shots this way over the last year. Once you start talking about longer shots, sure I like a little check as it allows you to be more aggressive.
