Benefits and Negatives of specialist/bladed wedges
I have a low bounce (6) lob wedge. As it's the first and only lob wedge I've used thus far, I have nothing to compare it to. Possibly I *should have bought a higher bounce but as it was a £35 ebay job I cannot complain
My current 54 is 8 bounce...I don't get on with this wedge. Not sure if its the bounce, the grip, the fact its a blade I don't know...
Again a £45 or so ebay buy so I cannot complain.
I had a tendency to sometimes thin these wedges in summer (but also played quite nicely much of the time) but in the wetter October and December months when I last played, I would often chunk it. Now I have read up more I realise the low bounce isn't helping me in wetter / muddy conditions esp. In summer it actually is mostly ok.
How does a high bounce wedge deal with firm conditions? Not well, or not too noticeable?
So, thought process leads me to get a mid to high bounce SW after a fitting. Then I can have a winter wedge and a summer wedge
