Don't get me wrong, I can hit my low bounce out the bunker, but it does not pop up and out like my high bounce used to, it kinda flys out low and skids onto the green with no control at all, that's if I don't blade the damn thing and shoot it into the bunker on the other side of the green! I spent a bit of time practising with it but not enough, I obviously have to strike at the ball differently with a low bounce and i couldn't figure it out consistently, whereas my high bounce used to pop out lovely and land softly in the green! I can make room for both in the bag but I guess it's not ideal carrying 5 x wedges! I'll see how they go over next few weeks then decide if I need/could use one somewhere in the middle!

Ok. I am really limited on places to purchase clubs in my area. Basically have dicks sporting goods or dunhams sports, most of the time there's a high school kid in there that doesn't even know the difference between an girls wedge or men's wedge (yes I asked just to see if he had any clue of golf) so getting any help is pretty much thrown out the window before I get there.

@dragnframe ,

I recommend looking at the manufacturers sites to learn more about the wedges.  Some have excellent descriptions of how bounce works.  Most have the bounce listed on the wedge, like 58 12, but some don't.  Cleveland uses dots, 1 - 3, with 1 being low bounce and 3 highest bounce.  Not all bounce options are available in each loft though unless it is a custom wedge like Edel or Hopkins etc.

Mizuno, Adams, Nike, Wilson and Bridgestone also have their own wedges.

Well I took my old high bounce Wilson wedge out with me, I had a quick knock in the practise bunker before I went out and it worked just as I remembered! I only landed in 2 green side bunkers and told my pals I'd brought a secret weapon with me today! got out of both with one shot and both were safely on the green to putt, Looks like I'm carrying 2 sw's for the foreseeable future!

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
