Firstly, not sure if this is quiet in the right forum so apologies if not.:?
I was wanting to know thoughts on the bounce of a sand wedge.
I recently started at a new club and the sand in their green side bunkers is fairly firm and I am having trouble getting out of them. It feels like my SW is bouncing off the sand and the result is I'm catching most shots a bit thin.
I am using a 56* wedge with 12* of bounce.
Would I be better off using a wedge with say 6* of bounce out of firm sanded bunkers??
I would say I am usually pretty good out of the bunkers, never really had any dramas with them until now. Either something in my downswing has changed or the club needs some fine tuning I think.
Don't worry about it, I just read Virge's post and that explains what I was wanting.
Great post by the way Virge!!!
Cheers
