In our forums, our members have been discussing wedge bounce. WRXer ‘PlayIt’ is particularly interested in hearing the choice of bounce of fellow members on their 58 and 60-degree wedges – who have been sharing their wedge specs and reasons behind them in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- lefthack: “My 52 is a lower bounce (6) than my 56 (12). I use the 52 for the fairway and easy lies around the green. Pitches and chips. The higher bounce on the 56 works well for sand and heavier lies.”
- wam78: “Vokey TVD 60k low bounce. Really love. The wide sole with low bounce. It plays with more bounce than it reads. Not quite comfortable with it on full shots yet, but it’s great around the greens and in bunkers. I live in Dallas, lots of hard pan and tight lies.”
- philly2kuk: “60 degree S grind. Versatile enough for me to use it from any lie and surprisingly good out of bunkers when open. Traditionally I’ve struggled with anything less than 12 out of bunkers.”
- CUBuffaloes: “Similar to what a few others do. I like a low bounce LW (6-8 deg) and a higher bounce SW (~12 deg). I play a variety of conditions, and I’ll choose the SW or LW more based on the lie than how high I want to hit it.”
