What degree of bounce for Burner L wedge

[wlkarnes]

Does anyone know the degree of bounce an 09 Burner Lob (60 degree) wedge has? All I can find is that it is "standard" and all companies seem to have their own version of standard..
It would be nice to have this for a matching set but I want around a 7-8 degree of bounce. I'm also looking at Vokey and Scratch, which have that degree.
Thanks, Bill

To be honest, I wouldn't look at the Burner at all. Those wedges are like shovels! They don't go through the rough/dirt/sand very easily, so it's harder to play a softer green side shot or that 30-40 yard pitch shot from a tight fairway lie. Go with the Vokey, Cleveland or a TM RAC and you'll be much happier. :thu:

I'm with zilla...kind of. My current set of clubs are the '09 Burner with PW, AW, and SW. I don't agree that they're any harder to play than a Vokey or Cleveland. The wedges play fine out of the rough - I know, I spend a lot of time in there. The SW plays fine out of the bunker - I know, I spend a lot of time in there too. And, they're fine off of tight lies.

With that said, if you're adding to your set or replacing a worn wedge, then a Vokey or Cleveland may be a better option for a couple reasons: First, you can customize loft and bounce to fit your preference, something you can't do with the Burners. Second, the groves on these wedges, especially the Vokeys, are incredible.

I'll be replacing my wedges soon with some Vokey Spin Milled but not because of any deficiency in the Burners, it's just the grooves are practically gone on my PW and the SW and AW aren't too far behind. I chose the Vokey because after demoing a bunch of clubs, I liked the grooves on the Vokey the best.

Check your local area to see if there are any demo centers or demo days upcoming. It's a great way to get your hands on a bunch of different clubs and find out for yourself

I memory serves me it's 58*. SW is 54* My R7 lob is 58*.

Thanks everyone,

I do agree that a Vokey or Cleveland 60 degree would give me more options in degree of bounce, but was just curious if anyone knew what the bounce was for the standard lob wedge for Burners. I have a GolfSmith store in Saint Paul (about 40 min away) that I think I will go to and just hit some and see what is best for me.

Thanks again,

Bill

I'd get one of those instead of the burner wedge
I like vokeys, i like clevelands, i like TMs, i like scratches
ALl the wedges are good these days its just your preference for how they look at address
my buddy bought that TM wedge yesterday and its really nice, the face is really rough. it shreds Prov1xs which can be annoying having to buy new ones all the time but i guess most new wedges these days will do that

Went to the TaylorMade site, and the iron specs do not list bounce. You might contact them direct.
