This is the best video I have found online explaning the bounce and fitting of Wedges. Were you been all my golf life 😅

Great video, I knew vv little about wedge clubs.

This is the best video discussing bounce and grind. Most other videos don't really discuss grind. If i play mostly public courses with tight lies and bunkers with cement-like sand would it make sense for all my wedges to have less bounce and grind?

Brilliant video, very helpful.
Thanks mate

Excellent. Both educational and reinforcing. Thank you.

Superb video Ryan probably the best I’ve seen on wedges and bounce very well explained. Do you recommend specialist wedges rather than wedges included in the set? I’m finding that the set wedge is a bit bladey and think I need more bounce but most importantly have a wedge fitting. I’m looking for for forgiveness and versatility.

This was really good information! Thank you, but I’m a beginner. I’ve been taking lessons and been playing (practicing). What would you recommend. Should I learn (take lessons) on how to play with a wedge? Then get fitted? OR get fitted first and learn with my fitted wedge?

In summery, great video but maybe would be better to break it down between lower handicap players and those 15 plus.

Why would you expect the wedge with more bounce to take more sand...wouldn't the opposite be true? Less bounce digs deeper into the sand resulting in more sand coming out with the ball.
