A more accurate way to say it would be a 56/10 has a loft of 56 degrees and an effective bounce of 10 "degrees" per that companies measurement method and/or how they feel it plays in relation to other wedges in their offering.
I hadn't see Weston's bounce video until the post above. I know Weston well and he's a good dude, but he's a bit off on this. Leading edge height or leading edge elevation, can be correlated to the bounce shown on the sole, but is NOT how most manufacturers determine what effective (i.e...
Pepsi Zero and even Diet Pepsi are an acceptable (but still not nearly as good - not even close) substitutes in a restaurant if I'm dying for caffeinated, carbonated beverage with a meal. Diet Coke is still awful and never acceptable, under any circumstances.
And I would NEVER purchase a...
Distance Fitting is our effort to fit those who can't get to a fitter (typically due to living in a more remote area) or someone who is still reluctant to get fit in person. It is a phone interview where our fitters ask questions, take all of the inputs/feedback/data you have and make our best...
A loft of 26* and a lie angle that is off by 2* changes the face angle by about 1*. The higher the loft, the more effective face angle/start line changes. Example, the least effect is on putter, then driver.... the most would be on wedges.
Great question. If you make me pick a single, most important thing, I'd say alignment accuracy/consistency. Other things that matter a lot, in no particular order... length, loft, grip, head weight, shaft and loft. Things that matter a little... lie and how cool the head cover is.
The loft is NOT changing. Only the lie angle. As the lie goes up/down the face starts to point left/right. Most people are aware of this correlation on irons (see examples below), which is very important to start line and ball flight curvature in an iron fitting. Too many people then...
Just posted this on the tweeter machine and thought it could lead to an interesting discussion on the THP forum so...
I'll me monitoring (lurking?) and will try to answer any follow up questions, but preference will be giving to tweeted questions. ;)
Same shaft in driver and fairway wood, either the same weight or 10g in the fairway, is a very, Very, VERY safe play, assuming you love the shaft in the driver. Order with confidence!
