Does bounce on a wedge matter to a 30 handicap golfer?

Answer 1

Irrespective of your handicap, it is very important to have the correct equipment for your game. You have to feel comfortable with what clubs you have in your hand, how they look and how they feel. If you play on a hard/ dry course you will want a low bounce club, this will allow you to slide under the ball and pop it up. Low bounce wedges also are good for those with a shallow swing arc. High bounce wedges are ideal if you play on a wet or very soft course, or have an aggressive swing path, which means you are a digger. High bounce clubs are better for playing out of the rough, and also bunkers.

If you get the correct clubs for your game your handicap will drop, and once you get to a lower handicap you would want the correct clubs anyway.
