All -
I carry a 54 deg wedge with 8 degrees of bounce. At the moment I have 13 clubs in my bag, so I can add a club. I have a pitching wedge and the 54 degree wedge and I am thinking a 58 degree wedge would be nice to have - essentially this would be the SW.
Regarding bounce - is there a 'standard' for a 58 degree wedge?
I am looking for a club to use in the trap but also a club for your standard wedge shots from the fairway or rough. I realize that people may alter the bounce (via owning a number of wedges) depending on the course and how they play a pitch (sweep type shot, or more of a dig may require different amounts of bounce).
I am by no means a skilled short game artist. At my best my wedge play is a C-. Thus, is there an amount of bounce that is more 'forgiving'?
I tend to miss a lot of greens and in general the area around the greens (where my league play takes place) has some grass that isn't overly long, but it's not cut really short either. The fairways can also be firm at times, but also rather soft in some places. In maryland the weather is always in flux. The season starts out cold and damp, and then it can get very warm in the summer which might dry out the course some.
thanks,
Erik
