Difference Bounce Wedges?

[MarkM]

Right now all I have is a PW and a cheap sand wedge. I want to get two new wedges a Gap wedge of about 52 deg and a 56 or58 degree sand wedge. Should I get the same bounce for both these wedges or get different bounces? I am more of a sweeper than a digger and my home course has pretty hard ground and packed sand traps. Should I get both of them in a lower bounce or should I get the sand wedge in a 10 or higher bounce and the Gap Wedge at about 6? I have thought about also getting a 60deg Lob wedge at with a lower bounce.

low bounce if this is the case you are playing with bad sand and ur a slider

You might consider Adams Golf - the Tom Watson models.

* popular Watson Wedge Pack three wedges for about $100 total: LW 52.08 | SW 56.12 | LW 60.08

* 2010 Tom Watson Classics for about $50 a club. Classics have same loft and bounce combos and general look as Wedge Pack, plus a 64.07 (avoid this high a loft).

Many recommend a mix of loft and bounce in wedges. 12-degree bounce SW may be a bit much for hard sand. Also, high bounce on hard ground can lead to clubhead ricochet off dirt and deliver a skull shot.

Also, do you make good enough contact to use a LW? Others will bring this up, I'm sure.

You should probably go with the lowest bounce angle possible for both if you a sweeper and playing on hard surfaces. This will help you to produce divots and prevent blading shots due to the club "bouncing" off of the hard turf.

No a 60 deg wedge is probley going to pretty hard for me to to hit. I am probley better off staying with a lob and a sand for now.

I am pretty sure a 60* wedge is a Lob Wedge.

Your right I ment to say Gap Wedge.

I play off 18, use 3 - 4 wedges, have played some hot places and never used more than 8 bounce, works for me,
