Ask a Wedge Question

What wedge (loft/bounce/grind) would you consider to be the most versatile across all skill levels and playing conditions of your entire line of wedges?
 
What impact will the coming ball rollback have on wedge design?
 
Do grooves have to be straight with the club face? If I have a wedge that is predominantly opened could the grooves be cut at an angle such as….

Why would someone choose a high bounce SW/lower bounce LW combo vs lower bounce SW/high bounce LW combo? Or would it be more beneficial to have same bounces?
 
I have noticed that on many wedges the heel side of the blade is taller related to the toe than it is on a standard iron. Is there a reason for this specifically? Weight/spin/useage?

When designing bounce and grind, do you find that the limited combinations created such as a Vokey T grind being limited to no less than 58 degrees sometimes causes limitations or are these available per tour player request?

How much study occurs for specific wedges shafts (ie DG spinner) to combine with specific heads? Does a wedge shaft really make much difference in true performance of the head?
 
Golf ball roll back? Obviously companies are testing how to optimize performance with the mandated changes. How will this change the way the balls respond off of wedges on partial and chip/pitch shots?
 
With the 4 wedges (P-A-S -L) what would be the bounce and grind, per club, that would fit the most situations golfers find themselves in?

Kind of a fits all conditions per club.
 
What grind/bounce for a "sweeper" type swing?
 
As someone who designs wedges how would you make the fitting experience better/easier for normal people to understand?
 
Great questions on here, some I have asked myself before!
