SAND wedge / LOB wedge... Which one should have a HIGH bounce and which one should have a LOW bounce?

Question

Which one should have a HIGH bounce and which one should have a LOW bounce in YOUR OPINION.

Or should they be both Low bounce / High bounce?

I know high bounce are for soft sand and useless for hard fairways.

And low bounce is good for hard pans but digs too much on soft sand?

Is that correct? Im planning on getting 2 wedges for shots 50y in but there are too many options to choose from. Loft, Bounce, Spin Milled.

Im confused. Help?

Thanks.

Answer 2

Neither, bouce is not club dependent.



Bounce is the angle that is made by the metal built-up on the sole of the club and the front edge of the club. This is known as the golf wedge bounce angle.



Players can use this to their advantage by matching the amount bounce on their wedges to the grass and soil conditions of their home or favorite courses they like to play. They must also match this club set up to their individual styles of swings.



As a general rule of thumb if you play on a course with a harder turf and firmer sand in the traps you should be using wedges with less bounce. The lower amount of bounce will help the clubs leading edge dig down easier into the turf and through the rest of the shot.



On the contrary if you play on a course with softer turf conditions and fluffy sand then you should be using wedges with a little more bounce as this will help prevent the club digging to deeply into the ground thus causing the dreaded fat shot



Hope this helps.

Answer 3

High Bounce- SW

Low Bounce- LW



High bounce in the sand is good to "bounce" the ball out. (that's as good as I can explain it)

Low bounce is good for lob wedges off of tight lies and hardpan, because the leading edge is closer to the ground with less bounce. That will reduce the chance of catching the shot thin unless you generally hit severly down on the ball.
