i just recently bought 2 titleist vokey wedges. 1 is a 52 with 8 bounce, the other is a 56 with 10 bounce. is 10 a good enough or would a higher bounce of say 14 be a better choice for overall play considering these are my only 2 wedges??

here is a good piece on wedges that will give you a better understanding on what you may or may not need:

personally less bounce is good for me. I am more of a 'slider' than a 'digger'. out of most green side bunkers i use a 60deg with 4deg of bounce.

I don't even carry a 56 anymore.

I think you'll be fine with what you have. more matters on what type of player you are and the overall conditions of the places you play.

In My Bag:
Driver: R9 TP 9.5°
Hybrids: Idea Pro, 16°, 20°, VS Proto
Irons: TP MB 4-P
Wedges: Vokey SM 50.08 54°, 60°Putter: NP2

tough question... to me, it really depends on the condition which you are playing, what you intend to you the club for as well as the way you swing.

On firmer courses, i tend to prefer a club with a little less bounce just so it gets trough the turf easier, however, on wetter days, having more bounce can be a hindrance and cause of many fat shots in you don't strike the ball pure.

I tend to have low bounce on my 60 as it really only use it around the green and always out of the sand so i can slide it through much easier.

If you have a sweeping type of swing, which probably isn't too desirable with shorter clubs away, then i guess having low bounce lets you slide under the ball better, but as stated previously, it really does increase the risk of hitting a lot of balls fat.

All in all, the 3 wedges i carry are all standard as it almost gives the best of both worlds. Although i do have low bounce on my 60 purely due to the way i play. Hope this helps... not much you can do about it now anyways !!!

    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
    • Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice. 
    • Day 11- Slow,  short swings with short practice club.
