Use loft because downslopes launch low
The speaker describes a tight lie on a downslope with little green and says to use a 60 because the ball will launch lower. The speaker calls it a release-one chip and run, landing about a yard on with a bit of check before running out. The speaker says the slope de-lofts the 60 and includes a little shaft lean in the setup; the result is described as coming out low with more check.

Why this context matters
This is not a general 60-degree recommendation; it is tied to the downslope launching the ball lower.
