Poking your head into the world of chipping and pitching leads to the topic of wedges, which is the man hole to the Cambrian explosion on Planet Wedge. What's all this talk about bounce? More numbers.
I know just a wee bit about bounce. It's that angle on the bottom of the sand wedge that deflects the club up in bunker shots so it doesn't bury itself.
Reading up on bounce, and it's sidekick the grind, learned a lot about how to use bounce. The coolest is to bounce the club up into the ball, basically a fat shot on purpose to pop the ball up out of crud. Or, when bounce will thin the strike on tight firm lies, hence you want no bounce.
So it seems you want three kinds of bounce: none, some and a lot. That covers the various situations and how bounce can be a tool, if creatively applied.
Got it. Yet, not smart enough to grok the concave grinds.
