Degrees of Bounce on Golf Wedges High Bounce. Clubs with a bounce of more than 10 degrees are considered high bounce wedges, according to Publinks Golfer. Sand wedges and some specialty gap wedges usually have high bounce, making them a good choice for light sand, deep rough or a shaggy fairway.

- When it come to their sand wedge, they usually hit that wedge around 80 to 90 yards in distance. If your distance with your pitching wedge 120 yards and your distance with your sand wedge 85 yards, you have a problem. You will have to try to finesse shots that require a distance between 85 to 120 yards. Read more on...

- Step 3. Swing down on the ball when hitting a hybrid in the fairway. Instead of hitting a hybrid like a fairway wood, which requires a sweeping swing that takes little if any divot, swing your hybrid in the fairway as you would an iron.ecause hybrids make it easier to loft the ball, only about a quarter of the ball should sit above the clubhead when the ball is on the tee. When hitting a tee shot with a hybrid, swing as if it were a fairway wood; use a flat, sweeping swing instead of the upward swing required for a driver.

Pitching wedge (Professionals now also use similar designs, preserving the gap in hitting distance between the amateur golfer and the pro.) As a result the loft of the pitching wedge decreased along with the numbered irons from a traditional loft of between 48–54° to between 45–50°, similar to that of an older 8-iron.

- Pitching wedges have a loft of between 46 and 48 degrees. Approach wedges have lofts between 50 and 52 degrees. The extra loft on the approach wedge helps it to get up in the air, but decreases the distance hit.

Gap wedge At the extremes there is redundancy with either the pitching wedge (typically 48°) or the sand wedge (typically 56°), however some players will fine-tune the lofts of these other wedges to their play style, leading to alternate loft choices for a gap wedge.

Wedges: 10 things to know 1. Lofts. Wedges have the highest lofts of any club. Loft is the angle at which the club face lies relative to the shaft. Golf wedges can have as little as 45 degrees of loft (e.g. a pitching wedge) and as much as 64 degrees (e.g a lob wedge). 2. Pitching wedge.

Golf club Main article: Wedge (golf) Wedges are a sub-class of irons with greater loft than the numbered irons (generally starting at 47°-48° of loft, above the 9-iron's 44°-45°), and other features such as high-mass club heads and wide soles that allow for easier use in tricky lies.

The Easy Way to Decide Which Golf Clubs to Put in Your Bag First, figure out how far you can hit your pitching wedge with a comfortable full swing. For an example, let’s say that number is 110 yards, from there, you want to make sure your next wedge in line will fly around 95 yards. A 52 degree wedge is a popular choice, but 54 degrees could work as well. Finally, your highest lofted club should be able to cover around 75 yards in the air (for this example). That may mean you choose a 58 degree, or you may go all the way to 60 degrees. Wedges come in a wide range of degrees.

The sand wedge has the next greatest loft -- approximately 56 to 58 degrees -- while the gap wedge fills the gap between the pitching wedge and sand wedge with lofts of between 50 and 54 degrees.ccording to Golf Digest, the standard loft of a pitching wedge has dropped over the years. Formerly, a pitching wedge typically had a loft of approximately 51 degrees. Today, however, pitching wedges most often have lofts ranging from 45 to 47 degrees, though they can be as high as 50 degrees.

I have a 54 degree wedge and thinking about getting 2 more wedges. What degree's should I go for? This is where you look at those 58 and 60 degree wedges. Consider both your divot and the course you play for the bounce of those wedges. If it is lush and the bunkers are fine sand, it is better that at least one of those wedges (preferably your 58/60) are high bounce to avoid digging after impact.

- Wedge Bounce: Setting it Straight By Terry Koehler, President and Designer, Eidolon Golf Ever since Gene Sarazen built up the bottom of a niblick to make the first sand wedge, golfers have been confused about “bounce.” What is it? How does it work? And how much is enough? Let’s set the record straight. First, bounce refers to the configuration of the golf club’s sole.

Explaining Bounce and Bounce Angle in Wedges Swing type does have an impact on how much bounce will work best for you: 1  Golfers who swing their wedges steeply into impact (a steep angle of attack) need more bounce; 2  Golfers who sweep into the ball (shallow angle of attack) require less bounce.

Wedge Buying Guide High Bounce Wedges. High bounce wedges have more than 10 degrees of bounce, meaning the leading edge sits higher when the sole is rested on the ground. High-bounce wedges are best suited to players who dig at impact, taking deep divots, softer conditions (i.e. parkland courses) and bunkers with deep fine sand.

11 Questions with Master Craftsman Bob Vokey: Bounce, Grinds and Wedge Fitting What exactly do you mean by that? Bob Vokey (BV): I say bounce is your friend because it provides forgiveness on all types of wedge shots. Let me explain first what bounce is: it’s the angle between the leading edge and lowest point on the sole. If you look at a wedge, the trailing edge is lower than the leading edge. This is the bounce angle. TT: What about effective bounce? How is that different from bounce angle? BV: The effective bounce is a little more art than science. It’s how the wedge will play around the greens. It takes into consideration not just the bounce angle, but the sole width, the camber, and the sole grind. TT: You’re famous for your Tour Grinds. What exactly is a grind and what does it do for the wedge?
