When it comes to your highest lofted (say 52 or 54 to 60) degree wedges...basically sand and lob, what is the bounce?
Do you have one higher and one lower bounce just so you can use one vs the other for the scenario? Is it even something you bother to even know? I assume many armatures don't even really know nor understand it and probably have whatever their set comes with (if they are set wedges). Also id assume many just are not certain what they need and so they play wedges with mid bounce just for sake of happy medium.
for me, my new ping g400 set of irons (not yet received them) I ordered 5 through SW. I know that the SW is 13* (and I think the UL is 12 , have to look that up again to be sure). And so the only reason I didn't order the set LW was because that too is 13*. And being they are all higher bounce wedges I want a 58 LW with a 10. Im actually considering a Cleveland cbx 58 which is at 10*. This way I can play the two bounces depending on my sand conditions greenside which can change drastically from deep and soft to very firm. And also similar can be the case for dry or wet chipping scenarios.
Is it the exact right thing to do? Im not totally sure but makes sense to me to "not" have all high bounce wedges. This way ill have at least some versatility for conditions. My vokey wedge (60*) is at 10 now. But im looking at the CBX 58 to now replace that 60 (imo a tad easier to play regularly than a 60) for shots that are more than just a chip or short pitch. High loft/low bounce not exactly the easiest clubs for many us amateurs to hit. So I think 58/10 will prove better for me than my current 60. Who kjnows we'll see. but Ill now have a sw at 13 and a 58Lw at 10. Hopefully works ok.
What about your wedge bounce? whats you logic if any and/or what do you play (perhaps you change them round to round based on courses and conditions?) whatever the case let us know what you do. You can also comment if you like on my scenario. Always good to get opinions.
