The “gap” wedge (50-52 degrees) - is expected to have a low bounce and a medium depth. The lob wedge (58-60 degrees) - have the smallest and the narrowest bounce. The sand wedge (54-56 degrees) - is expected to have the most and the deepest bounce. Though there are hundreds of combinations that you could go with, I want to provide you with some guidelines for choosing the bounce on your wedges: Like we saw in Jordan’s set, he had bounces varying from 4 degrees (his lob wedge – 60) to 10 degrees (his sand wedge – 56).
To have a diverse range of wedges, you need not only different lofts but diverse bounces AND depth of bounces. The bounce on wedges also vary by the depth of the bounce or commonly known as Grind.Ĭombining the factors– Now that you understand what bounce is and the two components that determine the bounce, you must apply it. How it Works (2 components)– Bounce is the distance that the leading edge of your club sits above the ground when the clubface is perfectly square to the target (see photo below)īut this measurement is only the beginning. It can also be disadvantageous if you are using a high bounce club on tight turf because the club will repel off the hard ground right into the middle of the golf ball. This can be advantageous in situations where the turf/sand is fluffy because it prevents the club from digging deep into the surface and slowing the club down. I'm going to try to describe it as quickly as possible.ĭefinition/Purpose of bounce– The amount of bounce describes how fast and how much the wedge repels off the playing surface when it comes into contact with it. The next crucial thing to be considered is bounce.
