I just went out to Golf Town to go and purchase a lob wedge. I have never owned one before, so i wasn’t completely sure what bounce was. After a little research, i realized that bounce is the amount the leading edge on the wedge sits up from the ground. With this in mind, I went to Golf Town. I looked at all the wedges and I narrowed it down to the two i liked the most: the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled and the Cleveland CG14. After back and forth for about an hour, i decided to go with the Vokey Design. But when i got home, i started hitting half swing pitches in my basement, when i noticed the ball wasn’t getting as much loft as i anticipated from a lob wedge. I was impressed though how easily i got the ball to check up. Anyways i checked the bottom of the club and found that the bounce is 4. So now i am wondering, did I make the right call? I plan on using my lob wedge from 40- yards from the green. I want the ball to check easy from this range. I have a Top Flite 56 Sand Wedge also.
Also, what does bounce actually do?
What is the difference in ball flight/speed/spin between a lob wedge with 4 bounce and one with 8?
Bounce is to prevent the leading edge from digging into the turf even when the club is hit with a descending blow. The difference you will notice between high and low bounce is more of a forgiveness issue. A higher bounce will help prevent laying sod over the back of the ball if you hit it fat. A lower bounce helps you get under the ball on tighter lies. For 40 yards and in, you probably made a good choice with the low bounce Vokey. I didn’t have the same trajectory issue with my Vokey, so I can’t help you there, but why fix it if it works?
I like to have a high, and low bounce option. I’ll use the high option from sand, really thick rough, and hard-pan lies (more forgiving), and I use the low bounce the rest of the time.

and what are some good tips for adding more spin?
my swing speed is about 90-110 mph……
In a golf ball dedicated isue of GOLF magazine last year, with reviews of almost every ball on the market, the Platinum was voted as the "spin-iest" ball available. BUT that being said, you have to really have a tour level swing speed to tap into what that ball can do…less than 105-100mph and you’re not tapping into it.
As far as creating more spin…you can always re-sharpen your grooves on your wedges….you can buy a new wedge that has a different type groove….or you can learn to really hit down on the ball to create the backspin.
Good luck!

i’m in high school and make about $100 a week. I play about once every 2 or 3 weeks
i mean cheap not cheat
it is extremely personal and based on your skill level. My advice check the pro shops and eask if they have demos. Or check www.callawaygolfpreowned.com or even golfsmith that people have traded in their old clubs

Hi, I am recently looking to purchase a new golf driver. Right now, I have the Cleveland Hibore XL 2007. I am considering the Nike SQ dymo, the new cleveland Hibore XLS, and the Callaway ft-9. Which one is the best in terms of distance and accuracy? And, are there any other drivers I should be considering? Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!
If you are landing it on the fairway I wouldn’t change a thing. The XL is a good club, the XLS is a bit more forgiving. I have found after many years of playing (and many drivers) that the best way to lower your score is a good wedge and putter. Get it close, and one putt. You’ll be amazed at the number of birdies that start popping up on your score card.
