Definition
The angle between the leading edge and trailing edge of a golf club's sole, designed to help the club glide through turf and sand rather than digging in during impact. Bounce angle is particularly important for wedges and sand play, affecting how clubs interact with various course conditions. Understanding bounce helps golfers choose appropriate clubs for different lies and course conditions. Professional club fitting often includes bounce selection based on swing characteristics and typical playing conditions. Proper bounce selection can significantly improve performance from various lies and conditions.
