I'm looking at either a 60* or a 62* wedge and I was wondering what bounce would be best for me, the rough at my home cause isn't really thick, it is quite easy to get out of, and I want to be able to play flop shots well and maybe even a bit of bunker play with it.

Thanks

get an 8 bounce 60º vokey. if you're playing on a pretty balanced, not so thick surface, 8 will be good. 4 is harder to manage.

Get 10* bounce and that will still make it easy to hit flop shots and bunker shots. i have 14* bounce on my 56 and I can hit a flop shot pretty easily and if I catch a sand shot fat i can still get the ball out of the bunker.

Another vote for the 8 bounce. If your sand wedge has about twice that bounce it will cover the heavy stuff for you. Vokey is a good choice!

Yeah okay then, so I'm looking at a Vokey 60.08 Spin milled, although I heard that Titleist is bringing out 62* and 64* later this year, should I wait for them?

8 - allows you to open up and hit bunker shots easily.

I wouldn't go with more than 8 - on hard surfaces the "bounce" bounces when you open up making you thin it real easily. Perfect contact is required - which most people can't get all of the time.

As for 62/64 - Sure, why not? Ask yourself where are you going to use the club and what advantages would it give you? Personally, i find 58 does everything I need it to.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
