Selecting the Right Wedges

IMPORTANCE OF BOUNCE

Bounce keeps the club from digging, allowing it to glide through the turf or sand, which helps you execute better shots in a variety of conditions.

EFFECTIVE BOUNCE

Effective bounce is an indicator of how the wedge will play and is determined by bounce angle, sole width, sole grind and camber. All Vokey wedges are marked with effective bounce.

BOUNCE ANGLE

The measured angle between the leading edge and the lowest point on the sole.

THE RIGHT BOUNCE

Selecting the right bounce is determined by two factors: swing type and turf conditions. Swing type is the primary consideration.

SWING TYPES

SLIDER	NEUTRAL	DIGGER
Shallow attack angle, minimal to no divot	Moderate attack angle, medium divot	Steep attack angle, full divot

Two thirds of all golf shots are from 125 yards or less, making consistent wedge play a key to lower scores. Vokey recommends 4-6° of loft between your wedges which will lead to distance gaps of 12-15 yards. Most players will benefit from carrying four wedges, which leads to tighter yardage gaps and more full shots.
