Titliest Vokey 48 Degree Wedge - Bounce Options.

[JonWilliams]

I notice that the 48 degree Vokey SM7 wedge is only available in the F grind with 10 degrees of bounce.

My existing 52 degree SM7 wedge (also F grind) is only 8 degrees of bounce, so it seems strange for the bounce to be higher on a lower lofted club.

Is there some logical reason for this?

Well according to the chart, the reason is because you bought the low bounce version of the 52° wedge 😉

I wouldn’t really class 8 degrees as low bounce, but maybe I’m wrong. 

Strange that there’s only one 48 degree option (for both bounce and grind).

My pitching wedge has 14° bounce, and my 60° wedge has 22°. 🙂

There's more to how bounce "works," too, than that numbe

Ah..... I’ve got a lot to learn! 😊

Strange that they only do one option (bounce and grind) for a 48 degree wedge. There must be a good reason, I guess.

They treat it more like a PW in terms of bounce and grind. Irons don’t have relief toward the heel because most players don’t open the face on full swings.

if you go to the Vokey site, they explain their reasoning on bounce and grind shapes.

Okay. It sounds like I can just buy it, hit it and not worry about it (being a higher bounce than my GW). Thanks.
