I am having a hard time understanding how the bounce on wedges help you or hurt you in certain situations. Right know the only wedge I have (other than a pitching wedge is a cheap Sandwedge that I think has a bounce of around 11. I want to replace it with something better as well as get a 52 deg gap wedge and a 60 deg wedge. Should I get the same amount of bounce on all of these clubs? I tend to be a sweaper and don't take a real big diviot on my wedge shots. Should I get a sand wedge with a higher bounce to help me in the sand then get a lower bounce on my lob and 60deg wedge?

I would get the SW in a higher bounce then lower bounces in the LW and GW.

That way you can play from any condition effectively.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
