game through better equipment choice

pars!

golf course you play regulary has an which wedges (loft and bounce) is best with. If you play on a hard course where is not really soft and the lies are tight, greenside bunkers are more hard than soft sand) you would want to use a wedge bounce and of course, visa versa, if you courses that are softer around the greens, wedges with higher bounce and loft, course, this depends on each player’s skill

When you’ve got a nice soft lie where the ball might be sitting a bit up, a higher bounce wedge will more easily get underneath the ball making a good strike without risks of the club digging in behind the ball. So have a good think about the course you play most often before you just go out and buy new wedges.

Why We Want To Use Less Bounce

“harder” courses is because we don’t club to bounce before impact behind that will result in the outcome to be shanked or a complete disaster by hitting a in the teeth. Therefore if your wedge bounce it will reduce the chances of the bouncing up from the ground behind the you’ve even got to the ball.

Playing with the correct wedges and understanding the bounce and loft of your wedges for particular lies and shots will definitly be a game changer and lower your scoring around the greens.
