Understanding The Sand Wedge
It’s important to appreciate that the sand wedge is constructed differently from the other irons in your bag
The bounce is the term given to the sole of the club, otherwise know as the flange.
The sand wedge’s club face can vary from 55 to 58 degrees of loft, with 56 degrees being the most common one. The bounce can vary on average from 10 to 14 degrees of loft. Critically you need a club that works for you. Having too much bounce will cause you to bounce the clubhead into the side of the ball.
Equally not having enough bounce will cause you to thin the ball because you will end up digging into the sand too much, just as if you were playing with a pitching wedge.
