Getting the ball up off of firm sand.

Very unique. I've never know anyone who games a sand wedge with that little bounce. Glad to hear it is working for you.

I'll try to take a pic of my 56* and SW the difference is amazing between the 2. But that little of bounce and a very controlled swing leads (usually) to very good results

Never heard of a SW with 2º bounce before, but if it is 15 years old, that might explain it. Most sandwedges that come with iron sets today are 56º and have a bounce of 10-14º. This is the normal characteristics of a SW. The reason being that you bounce the club off the sand and let the ball carry on a cushion of sand out of the bunker.

A lot of iron sets today does not come with a SW, or come with an option without a SW. Players have different needs on their wedges, some want 14º bounce on their SW, some want 8º. With an iron set that does not have a SW, you can compose your own wedge setup, like a 52º, 56º and 60º. You can choose any bounce you want on them. I have tried many SW that come with iron sets, but none can compare to a 56º or 58º wedge like Cleveland, Vokey, Mizuno, etc. I also like to have the wedges in the same model. Makes it easier for those shots with a touch when the clubs look and behave the same. I currently got a 52.08 and a 58.12. Mostly use the 58 out of the bunkers, but sometimes the 52 if I got a longer shot or am afraid of bouncing the 58 off hard sand.

Here are pics of Sandwedge and 56*, The bounce on the Eye2 is pretty significant http://picasaweb.google.com/MatthewR...18047417174834
