What is bounce on a wedge?

Bounce on a wedge refers to the angle of the sole in relation to the leading edge of the clubface. The amount of bounce determines how much the club will interact with the ground during a swing. A high bounce angle is useful in soft sand and thick grass as it allows the club to glide through without digging in too deep, while a low bounce angle is better for firmer conditions and tight lies because it helps prevent the club from bouncing off the turf and creating mishits. Golfers must select the correct bounce angle on their wedges to suit the course conditions they are playing on.
