A lot of golfers are confused by the term “bounce” as it relates to the golf club — and understandably so.
Understanding the bounce angle on your wedges is essential because it directly affects how the club interacts with the turf and sand. Bounce angle varies dramatically from club to club, so you need to make sure your wedges are properly matched to the course conditions where you play most frequently.
We’ll start by defining what bounce actually is, then examine what it does and why it matters for your short game.

Pick up a club and hold it vertically. You’ll notice that the trailing edge of the club sits lower than the leading edge.
