In a nutshell, bounce on a wedge helps you to strike the ball in the centre of the club face by managing how the sole interacts with the turf. Do you know if the amount of bounce you’re playing is correct for your swing and playing style? The answer could transform your wedge play.
In technical terms, bounce is the angle between the leading edge and the trailing edge/lowest point of the sole. Low bounce wedges have a smaller angle, high bounce wedges a bigger angle. If you have a steep attack angle and keep the clubhead behind or parallel to your hands at impact, you could benefit from more bounce. This is especially true if you play in mostly dry conditions with firm turf.
Two wedges with the same bounce but different sole widths will give you varying amounts of effective bounce at impact.
Wedge play is an area of the game where you can be playful and creative. A wedge fitting gives you the freedom to express yourself around the greens and lower your scores in the process. Book a fitting now!
