BUY WEDGES BASED ON TURF CONDITIONS
| Turf Condition | Bounce Deg | Player Type |
|---|---|---|
| Soft turf and bunkers with soft and loose sand | 12-14° | Players who tend to dig the club in too much |
| Normal to firm | 07-12° | Players who like to create different shots around the green |
| Firm turf and bunkers with harder or more course sand | 04-06° | Players who hit high flop shots |
All the magic in the wedge can be found in its sole. Bounce is simply the angle created between the leading edge and the lowest point of the sole or trailing edge. This is the part of the wedge that hits and moves through the ground or bounces off when you hit the ball. It’s what helps you achieve proper contact, control and spin on your wedge shots.
WHAT LOFTS TO CARRY
Most professionals carry three or four wedges in their bag to offer variation and selection to their short game. The key in choosing a set of wedges is to make sure that there are no big gaps in loft between the lowest lofted iron in your bag and the first wedge, further also between each wedge. It’s recommended to have four degrees of difference between each wedge. For example, if your pitching wedge has a 48° loft then you should have a 52°gap wedge, a 56° sand wedge, and a 60° lob wedge
