WEDGE BOUNCE
Bob Vokey says that “bounce is your friend.” It provides forgiveness on all wedge shots, allowing you to optimize your contact, flight, and spin.

Low Bounce Wedges
Low bounce wedges are typically between 4°-6°, ideal for firm turf conditions and bunkers with harder or coarse sand. Low bounce wedges are designed for clean ball contact, giving you the precision you need in your short game.
For instance, low bounce lob wedges can be used to hit high flop shots off tight lies near the green. Low bounce wedges are also useful to players with a sweeper swing style, with shallower attack angles and minimal divots.

Medium Bounce Wedges
Mid bounce wedges range between about 7°-10°, and are most played on firm to normal turf. Players tend to choose mid bounce wedges to create shots around the green, as they help achieve exact distance and trajectory control.
This wedge bounce type is the most versatile for most players, and can apply to a wide range of course conditions.
While mid bounce wedges are suited for almost all swing types, they most favor a neutral swing style with a moderate attack angle.

High Bounce Wedges
High bounce wedges are those with more than 10° of bounce, designed for softer turf, fluffy lies, and bunkers with soft sand.
High bounce sand wedges are ideal for preventing the leading edge of the club from dragging too much in the sand, and high bounce lob wedges are beneficial to those who take deep divots with a digger swing style and steep attack angle.
High bounce golf wedges help generate a lot of spin, giving players more control over their short game.

| The best bounce for your sand wedge depends on your swing type and course conditions. If you have a steep angle of attack resulting in deep divots, a higher bounce is recommended. If you are a sweeper resulting in shallow or no divot, low bounce is recommended. Vokey encourages golfers to go through a wedge fitting to ensure they get the proper bounce for their swing type. |

| Low bounce wedges are great for firm conditions and players that take very little divot. A low bounce wedge will tend to dig or cut into the turf. High bounce wedges are great for softer conditions and players that take a bigger divot. A high bounce wedge will tend to glide through the turf and resist digging. |
|---|
| Each wedge in your bag has a job to do, so there is no one-size-fits-all bounce. If you are a steeper player that takes bigger divots, we recommend at least one high bounce wedge. If you are a shallow player that takes little to no divot, we recommend having at least one low bounce wedge. To get the best performance out of your wedge set, get properly fit for your swing type. |

| There is not a one-size-fits-all wedge bounce. Every player is different and course conditions change. To get the best performance out of your wedge set, get properly fit for your swing type. |
