Can you explain the proper bounce we should be looking for in a wedge? Also will it vary from wedge to wedge? ie.... 52, 56, 60?

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the post.
The proper bounce angle for a wedge is really player and condition dependent. If a player is steep on the ball and tends to miss it fat, they would likely need more bounce. Vice versa for a golfer who picks the ball and tends to miss it thin. Course conditions are also a big factor, typically softer conditions require more bounce Vs. firmer conditions.
As for consistent bounce throughout the set, it all depends. Some individuals prefer both a high and low bounce option in their 56 and 60. Some people need low bounce or high bounce in every wedge.
My best suggestion would be to see a local fitter and try the different grinds and bounces out.
Hope this helps.
