Are those lies firm/hard or soft/fluffy lies? If firm/hard less bounce and the opposite for soft/fluffy lies.

By far the best sole design I've used to date. YMMV
I went to the website, interesting design, no specs on bounce. Thw sole looks wide in the middle and semi flat, but it must be a radius sole right?

Do they not publish bounce because it mat measure out much more than current wedges?By far the best sole design I've used to date. YMMV
Checked the tm site and could not find how much bounce is built in.

Billy,
Is this the wedge with massive bounce, 15+ degrees?

Oh I guess I will have to go and chek one out and demo it.It's wide in that middle bit, but I wouldn't call it "flat" at all. It doesn't translate well in a pic... like everything else, it's better in 3D.

I've done a lot of wedge shopping...my #1 thing with wedges is grind grind GRIND. Almost of all the wedges these days maximize spin. You need to find the right grind for the surfaces you play on and the attack angle you use. Then go with shape.
Personally i find Mizuno wedges highly under rated.

I would agree M. I had Vokeys, which I loved, and tried these at a demo day. So versatile and easy to hit. Another wedge to try is from a company called SCOR golf. Much like the Taylor Mades with their sole versatility, and they have some interesting combinations, and ideas on gapping, etc.

i hear really good things about Edel also. pretty cool link on their site to different sole & bounce based on how your club impacts the ball.

i am also curious about this idea about a lot of bounce being a good thing. will definitely give Edel a look at the PGA show.

The first two wedges I owned were a PGA R91 And a Wilson
R90 (both had massive bounce). Since then my wedge game has gone downhill gradually
over the years. Although the concepts from the tour pitch type
shot has brought the wedge game back but still not to the
level of the R91 and R90.

Focus on the type of ground you normally play on and works backwards. The type of grind for a 20-60 yard pitch shot is often different than for a full shot or flop shot.
You know right away the correct Edel grind. Greatest wedges for flop shots IMO because the trailing edge is shaved off so much. However, if you have soft ground you want a ton of trailing edge bounce so that the trailing edge hits first and doesn't dig. I've spent a lot of cash over the years on wedges and my favorite is still the Titleist 962-DCI grind (had that for over 20 years I think). Matches me overall for most conditions.
The ground, shot distance and attack style/angle all play significant role in a great wedge. Go with a forged wedge over cast (my 962 is cast, but I wish it was forged). Scratch golf makes some great custom stuff (and off the rack).
If I could, I would carry about 8-10 wedges. It can get that specific for perfection given all of the various course conditions and appropriate grinds.
