OK here's a challenge for you guys:

http://www.yonex.co.uk/golf/Product.aspx?ProdID=895

No bounce info on the site. I've tried searching various other places but there seems to be no info. I've also just emailed the manufacturer for the information but I figured I'd throw it out there for you guys too.

I'm looking for the bounce for my PW, SW and AW.

I'm normally pretty good with searches but have had no luck. I've searched for:

yonex vms irons bounce

vms irons bounce

"yonex vms" irons bounce

"vms irons" bounce

"yonex vms irons" bounce

calculating bounce

calculating bounce golf

calculating golf club bounce

how to calculate bounce

how to calculate golf club bounce

how is bounce calculated

how is golf club bounce calculated

Each of those I've trawled through pages and pages of results and checked anything that even resembles a possible match.

I think the difficulty is that Yonex aren't a huge brand, VMS irons are relatively new and the concept of bounce is normally skirted over with a cursory description rather than how it's calculated.

Thanks for the reply though.

I even found the Yonex EU version of their online catalog, http://www.yonex.com/golf/webcatalog2011_eu/#page=45 and I don't see where they list bounce for ANY club!  Have you emailed or tried to contact them direct and ask?

Otherwise, the majority of gap wedges I've seen can be anywhere between 4° and 6°.

Yeah as soon as I realised there were no bounce stats I chucked them an email asking what the wedges would be. It's no big deal not knowing but I'm curious as to the difference between them and my Vokeys (50.08, 54.11 and 58.08) Next step may be profile photos of the Vokeys compared to Yonex.
