Tech707 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'm currently gaming a 56 mid and 60 mid RTX wedge. The gapping is a little too much from my gap wedge so looking at going with a 54/58 setup. My question comes with selecting a bounce setup for this combo. I live in south Florida so conditions are typically soft. I don't tend to dig a ton on my irons, but I have a steeper approach with my wedges. Prefer to play them towards my back foot. I am looking to go with a mid grind 10 54 and full grind 12 58. Am I overthinking how I will play these clubs and better off reversing the grinds/bounce? Shapotomous 1 Quote Link to comment

People setup their clubs differently and I have even seen recent instruction talking about bounce and using the bounce and how bounce will depend on how you deliver the club. Consider this: general instruction says you should launch the ball with your wedges lower than 30*. If you deliver your 60* wedge with a vertical shaft and use the bounce you have to hit down significantly to get 30* of launch. So when you combine the forward lean and downward angle to get 30* of launch and higher sping you are pretty much negating the bounce. That said if you want to go typical, sand club usually has more bounce and you then put a lower bounce wedge in the bag. If you are going to use your 58* for bunker then make that your higher bounce wedge.

King Cobra Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I changed from 52 , 56 , 60 RTX3's all Mid Bounce this year to 54* mid bounce and 58* low bounce RTX 5's . There was a few reasons for the change 1. Versatility , my 58* isn't used for full shots . 2. It abled me to put a 5 wood in the bag . 3. Just to many wedges in the bag ( PW , AW , 52 , 56 , 60 ) Josh Parker and Shapotomous 2 Quote Srixon ZX7 Driver Hazardous Smoke Stiff Shaft Titleist TSR 15* Fairway wood , Diamana Blue Stiff Shaft Srixon ZX , 5 Wood , Hazardous Smoke Reg Shaft Titleist TSR 21* Hybrid Diamana Blue Stiff Shaft Taylormade P770 5-A Wedge Irons , KBS Tour Stiff Shafts Cleveland RTX 5 Zipcore Wedges 54* & 58* DG Spinner Shafts Tayormade Spider X Blue Putter Titleist 14 Way Sta Dry Stand / Carry Bag Srixon Z Star Xv Ball Yellow Link to comment
Josh Parker Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It all depends on how you use your wedges. I play my 58° at 8 but it gets used in so many different ways. My 50° and 54° are 12 Shapotomous 1 Quote Paradym TD Driver w/ Ventus Blue 6S 3W MKII ZX 5's (4-6) w/ KBS Tour V MKII ZX 7's (7-PW) w/ KBS Tour V Vokey Wedges 50* 54* 58* DF2.1 Putter Link to comment
