What is Wedge Bounce? | TrottieGolf

Understand more about the definition of bounce, how it works & more importantly how you as a PLYR leverage the bounce to best serve your short game.

Turf conditions, shot type & shaft lean will all impact the parts of the sole you utilize for consistent results in both chipping & pitching.

At 68 years old my game is merely a shadow of what it once was, but I'm a club junkie and still love it. I live off my short game, I probably have 20 lob wedges and can use them the High Toe is simply a tremendous wedge. A tip of the hat to the designers of the High brilliant!

Great video Trottie, thx👍. Getting the right bounce for yourself & the conditions you play in is so massively important, & in reality it’s not until you try a few different grinds / bounces together that you realise how much difference it makes to your strike. Looking forward to a wedge fitting this afternoon😁. Probably the easiest way I can think of along with a good putter fitting to lower scores without changing technique. As a UK 54 year old I learnt hands forward but last year added in vertical shaft after watching a Mark Crossfield video - game changing option! Also theirs a TM 35 min vid on chipping etc with Tiger, Rory & Jason Day - absolutely brilliant, must watch! Loving the Tuesday videos👍👍👍

I know you guys really DO know what your saying but how I’ve heard ppl try to articulate it is where most of us mid to high handicap golfers struggle when trying to comprehend js. Thanks for all you do pal. This is not 👃 up or cheeky comments im simply trying to grasp forward and backward the wedge fit process

Absolutely one of the best explanations and demo’s of bounce and how to use it that I’ve seen. A very simplistic explanation that most if not all should understand. Add to that was various techniques or options on using wedges around the green and how to execute them. Thanks!

My 60° can stay in my bag a while longer. Your thorough explanation will hopefully give me a bit more versatility around the greens and shaggy NZ rough. Thanks

“Zack Johnson” hahahaha trottie that had me weak 😂😂😂

[erik]

Thanks Trottie, very helpful summary of all aspects of bounce!

[mikestorlie]

Trottie, these videos are amazing - thank you

[pfh_golf]

58° 6° Bounce for my bunker shots
54° 10° Bounce for less than full shots and around the greens
50° Is part of my iron set since I use it for only full shots

I started using Cleveland RTX Full-Face wedges this year and I'm absolutely loving them! No offense to TaylorMade, Trottie! I just love my wedges. Great video as always. My golf coach told me wedge bounce equals forgiveness if your technique is good. Who doesn't want a little more of that? Trottie, would you please do a video about swing weight and possibly a way to check it without a machine like you use? I would just take my clubs to a clubfitter but I'm actually very interested and enjoy working on my own clubs!

I always like to think of bounce like water wings. The bigger it is, the more buoyant, and that’s where grind comes in to dictate versatility.

A new driver can cost up to $600+ and you really will only be using it on 14 of the 18 holes you'll be playing. Wedges will be used on every hole and can save strokes off your game. I say spend $500 - $600 on several wedges with different lofts and bounce. Pull them in and out of your bag based on the course you're playing. That (in my humble opinion) is money well spent.

Hi Chris great video. Any recommendations on a chipping 101 video to get the basic techniques right?

[faridbakri]

Hi chris... Why is it sometimes i tend to hit the ball with the leading edge when i opened up the club face? I'm using a 11° bounce on my 56° wedge

[jamesmcweeney]

Can I ask, for example 50 yard pitch shots, would you still open the face?

[johneden]

Great explanation Trottie. What about mixing the bounces up if you carry 3 wedges? 52 9 degrees, 56 12 degrees bounce and 60 8 degrees or would you just go with a higher bounce all the time as you explained you can alter the angle of the shaft to take the bounce out of the shot

[James_solar]

I live on long island what bounce should I be looking at for the New York style of grass

[briankinread]

How many degrees is high bounce? 12 degrees and up?

[andrewthompson]

I’ve been fitted for Low bounce mill grind 3 wedges but I’m watching your video and do you think I will be suited more too standard bounce I play more woodland courses in the uk

[charlieblake]

nothing about low bounce and low check ones though? Or for the shallow player?
