This is a great subject. My 2 cents is fitting bounce is every bit as important as the lofts of the wedges. When I am fitting what I try to do is get my client a couple bounce options so that they can play the different conditions at different courses. As a general rule the SW will have more bounce than any other wedge in the bag. So if I am fitting 2 or 3 wedges I will give them 1 lower and 1 higher bounce wedges and if it is 3 I try to fit 2 where they are and 1 higher/lower depending on what they need. Bounce is just not a sand issue. Reading lies around the green and understanding which bounce to play is huge in terms of playing a more forgiving shot. Anybody that has played with me knows I am a huge fan of low bounce wedges. Just so you know I used to play wedges with no more than 4-6 degrees of bounce. I now play a 12 and a 6. It has given me more options out on the course.
