Hey guys
Wondering if someone might be able to help me here & apologies if it's already been brought up somewhere..
I've been looking at wedges online and I've noticed that they read something like 56 deg 11 or 56 deg 14. Just wondering what the second number means? Is it something to do with weight or bounce?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
99.9% sure it's bounce.
Typically the more bounce you have, the harder it is to hit. So depends what level you're at as a golfer.
A couple of other things to note is what type of sand your course has.
The fluffier the sand, the more bounce you'd want, if it's hard packed, then you'd obviously want less.

Vincent chase is spot on and his analogy can be taken further, if your fairways are heavily grassed and quite spongy compared to a hard tight fairway then the same rule applies.
What handicap do you play off? or what would you normally shoot for 18holes if not a member anywhere?
