OK here's a challenge for you guys:

http://www.yonex.co.uk/golf/Product.aspx?ProdID=895

No bounce info on the site. I've tried searching various other places but there seems to be no info. I've also just emailed the manufacturer for the information but I figured I'd throw it out there for you guys too.

I'm looking for the bounce for my PW, SW and AW.

I'm normally pretty good with searches but have had no luck. I've searched for:

yonex vms irons bounce

vms irons bounce

"yonex vms" irons bounce

"vms irons" bounce

"yonex vms irons" bounce

calculating bounce

calculating bounce golf

calculating golf club bounce

how to calculate bounce

how to calculate golf club bounce

how is bounce calculated

how is golf club bounce calculated

Each of those I've trawled through pages and pages of results and checked anything that even resembles a possible match.

I think the difficulty is that Yonex aren't a huge brand, VMS irons are relatively new and the concept of bounce is normally skirted over with a cursory description rather than how it's calculated.

Thanks for the reply though.

I even found the Yonex EU version of their online catalog, http://www.yonex.com/golf/webcatalog2011_eu/#page=45 and I don't see where they list bounce for ANY club!  Have you emailed or tried to contact them direct and ask?

Otherwise, the majority of gap wedges I've seen can be anywhere between 4° and 6°.

Yeah as soon as I realised there were no bounce stats I chucked them an email asking what the wedges would be. It's no big deal not knowing but I'm curious as to the difference between them and my Vokeys (50.08, 54.11 and 58.08) Next step may be profile photos of the Vokeys compared to Yonex.

    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
    • Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
