Learn what “bounce” is and how to choose the right amount of it to use depending on the surface you are playing from around the green.
What Is Bounce?
It is the angle formed between the leading edge and the trailing edge of a wedge (sand wedge, pitching wedge, etc.) So More Bounce equals Less Dig.
- Example: A 60 Degree Wedge with 4 Degrees of Bounce. It wants to dig and is great to use on firm surfaces.
- Example: A 56 Degree Wedge with 8 Degrees of Bounce. It will bounce more and be better is soft surfaces. Sun wedges go all the way up to 14 degrees of bounce.
How To Know The Firmness of The Surface
- Use Your Feet To Test the Firmness of the Surface.
- Then choose the wedge in your bag with the right bounce.
