Picture the scene: It’s pouring with rain, you’re out on the course, wedge in hand, staring at the pin. Hopefully, you’re dressed for the occasion; wrapped up in your waterproofs and warm layers. But your poor old wedge won’t be.
You’ll hear commentators say “He’s used the bound well” or “The bounce is your friend”, but what is ‘bounce’ in a wedge? Well, ‘bounce’ means the angle of the leading edge. The bounce dictates how your wedge interacts with the turf, which can change massively with course conditions.
We have worked our way through the bag, from hybrids to irons and now to wedges. We have asked the question of what we want from each club and how each club fits into our bag. So, how do your wedges fit in?
