I've watched every single video on your channel at least once... but I still giggle every single time when you casually get interrupted by holing out and say "ah. there you go, in the hole". It not only shows you can practice what you preach, but you can do it at a high level and explain it very well. What I would give to have a lesson with you. Let me know if you're ever in Cape Town!

Resonating from your previous advice I’ve stuck with pitching wedge and 9 iron rounds the greens and shot my best score of 80 on a medal this week, unless it’s really necessary the wedges stay in the bag . But when the time comes and you need these shots this advice is massive ,thank you❤

Have you a specific video of this advice? Thanks in advance.

I think my bounce is the cause for additional distance from tight lies. Thanks Dan

Really helpful and clearly explained, thanks Dan. Learning a lot from your videos!

Excellent guidance, thank you Dan

Thank you Dan! Excellent &explanatory indeed

Been waiting for a guild on this! Looking forward to it ❤

Thanks Dan, looking forward to reading the book! It’s the only thing on my birthday list 😊

Great to hear that a lot of this is personal. I went from high bounce heavy (125g) shaft wedges to lighter shaft (105g) low bounce wedges last year, and it really works for me to feel the head being heavier than before. I use a 54 and 58. 58 (S23 with very aggressive X grind) is my sand wedge and heavy rough emergency. 54 is the jack of all trades except bunker. Especially out of a greenside bunker I've been deadly successful since, opening the club a lot. if the bunker sand is damp and packed, the low bounce still slides under the ball, and in fluffy dry sand it cuts it like a knife. Never got fitted for wedges (yet) so getting the complete opposite of my old wedges was a bit of a gamble based solely on my natural 'nippy' shallow angle of attack.

This explains so much, brilliant.

Great demonstration.

Thank you Dan, great stuff! CAN'T WAIT until TaylorMade gets the MG4 grooves on the next full face wedge. Love that they took into account groove wear/durability with the design too.

Great video, Dan! Would love to see you experiment with TM's TW grind wedges.

After buying Dan's book my 56 is my highest loft wedge. Release 2 is higher and better spin than how i was cutting across my old 60.

This is a gem!

Hi Dan, thanks for the video's always learn something. Here in New Zealand we have a lot of Kikuyu grass, and when it is a bit heavier I find it quite difficult to chip out of, as I find the club gets caught severely in the grass. I have tried implementing your toe-down method, with some success. If you have a moment maybe a quick video on how you would attack these chips around the greens. Thanks again.

long live the low bounce wedge, the 12:26 twirl really says it all Dan :-)

Subscribed today after watching you earlier with the bulldog 👌

World Class -thank you

My only complaint is I can only subscribe once

Great information as I am looking to but a Vokey 60 T grind

Dan could pull off a release 2 with a pitch fork. Absolute wizard

After reading Stan Utley's short game book, I switched to Vokey 54 and 58 degree wedges for most shots around the green. They've worked well for me.

Hi Dan! Thanks for this video! It answers my questions from last week. Here you advised a standard 56° SW with a 9-10° bounce that you use for sand only. I remember that you advised a 12° bounce in your book. Was it for a different use? (I play in Brittany, France, so this is far from the Monte Rei weather. More like the rather wet weather you have in Woburn, I guess ;) ).

Fantastic

Great video Dan. What do you suggest for dormant Bermuda?

Thank you. Most edifying. In the weeds here, but with that "low bounce" 58° with the ridge, I can't help wondering about where that ridge "points" when the face is laid open - and whether it matters, especially the part of it near the heel. Actually, not sure I can picture why that ridge wouldn't mean "more" bounce. . .

Those shafts are tapered correct? Which iron shaft are you using to cut down to length for your wedges?? Thanks Dan! Love your content ⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️🔥😎

I live in Calgary, Canada. In the summer it’s usually hot and dry, so we get a lot of hard ground with tight lies. I used to have a high bounce 60 and would constantly thin it and send rockets across the green… 2 years ago I bought a 60 degree with 4 degree bounce (for those 10-20 ft chips where I’ve missed the green) and it’s a game changer.

Fantastic video 👍👍 how would you gap the wedges if your pw is 45 degs

I'm still a beginner who hits shallow, so, I've been using all low bounce wedges. Just bought a Mizuno S23 Lob wedge 58 with only 4 degrees of bounce. So far, using my Release 2 checklist on bermuda grass here in Florida, I've had some success in executing the shots around the greens. Maybe I should try other bounces? Also, thanks Dan for another great video!

I carry a 46°, 50°, 54° and 58°. The 46° & 50° are the same Bounce 08° and Grind. To me I have a "Strong and Weak PW". The 58° is 04° T Grind. My 54° is 10° S Grind. "T" for 'Tight and/or Thin' "S" for 'Soft, Shaggy, Sitting up' I go 50°, 54°, 58° because my "miss" tends to be on the 'softer side' (leave it Short) - more Loft just means even softer and shorter miss. 😉 Plus, if necessary or desired I can "increase Loft" through my setup.

It seems like Taylormade offers these different bounce options, but no grind options, as this is predetermined based on the wedge model and loft/bounce. Vokey on the contrary offers tons of grind options for each loft/bounce. I'm not sure what's best, but Taylormade does have "Full Face Scoring Lines" (groove patterns that extend across the entire face of the club, from the heel to the toe) which surely improve the versatility of the clubs, to play with an open club face, notably.

That's reassuring that I'm not missing anything. I find standard 52 and 58 to be fine. I get confused with too many wedges and can do most shots I want with that combo. Occasionally I do want a lower bounce option but not enough to justify a 3 wedge set up

So much to think through which is why my short game sucks!

Hi Dan. Can you please list which exact 58° LB Wedge that you said was the most versatile please.

Please write a book or do a video on long game setup and striking.

If you’re going to open the face in the bunker and you’re adding bounce, should you have a low bounce option in the bag?

Could you do a vid on how to use the TW grind? Pleeaase ;-)

Seve one wedge 56 degrees could make it a 52 or 60 with adjusting set up.

I have the callaway jaws 50/56/60. All with standard 10 bounce. Are those good for Bermuda here in Florida or should I change it up?

How important is it to buy new wedges vs second hand? Does it really affect the spin much, or is that mostly down to technique?

Does the Bounce hit the sand or the leading edge hit the sand to shoot the ball up

Watched this video twice and still torn between the 56 degree SM9 10S or 08M. Any pointers Dan?

What Loft/Bounce would you choose for bunkers with Pro Angle sand?

Dan, do you feel if you like a low bounce 56, you wouldn’t necessarily need a lob wedge as long as you felt comfortable adding loft at setup?

@apaulmcdonough2170

IF you find you are having the Ball release well Past the Hole, then a 60° should help you. IF your "miss" tends to be "Short of the Hole", 60° will only make it Worse. Remember, Tour Pros are playing onto "Fast" Greens (13-14 Stimp Speed) so they are trying to diminish "release rollout".

If my PW and supposedly GW are 44 and 48 degrees respectively, should I still consider a traditional 52 degrees wedge? Or skip that and go with a 56 and 60 degrees? Or go with the 52, 56 and 60? Tks!

Hey Dan, can you make a “summer” technique video? Similar to the winter one?

@DanGrieveGolf

Haven’t had anything like summer yet! Still very much the winter sadly.

Would having more bounce in my LW then my SW work for me if I only use my LW around the green and bunkers?.. I play In Florida on Bermuda so the lower bounces get stuck I feel … I am use my SW and GW on full and pitch shots and I am shallow with those clubs

@apaulmcdonough2170

Ай бұрын

Usually you want more Bounce/Grind on the SW, than the LW. LW is supposed to be a "Super PW"

Hi Dan . I bought the awesome book and have been working on the 3 releases. Decent ball striker overall. HOWEVER I have noticed that many of my hits utilizing all 3 releases are towards the toe. What is the most common cause of this? maybe a good idea for a new video. I did not see anything in the book regarding club impact areas. Thanks again!

How about a low bounce but with a wide sole?

@apaulmcdonough2170

Ай бұрын

This sounds like Vokey's "Low Bounce"(06°) K Grind. I played one of these in 58° (SM 6 vintage). The Wider (Front to Back) Sole increases the "Effective Bounce". It was very Good from light rough and also tight lies, however tight lies on very Firm soil was challenging. I switched to a SM9 58°- 04° T Grind a year ago. EXCELLENT from Tight and Firm with some Practice invested. And still good for short Rough and Medium Sand. I carry a 54°-10° S Grind for those Situations where More Bounce is desirable.

Is there a link to your book so I can purchase? Thank you....

Ì wished I had got fitted instead of blindly buying 2 wedges which I didn't know much about. I have a 52 wedge with 10 degree bounce and a 60 wedge with 9 degree bounce. My sand wedge is 53 degree so maybe didn't need the 52 and should have got a 56 instead.

i think im understanding bounce but i think it would be super helpful if you had a camera shot where it was basically on the ground and you slowly showed the motions of how the bounce or lack thereof affects the ground and the swing. Example: tight lie, high bounce you can show how when the club hits the ball, it would blade it rather than dig under it. or you can show how it is supposed to slide on the ground.

How do I know? Only one wedge in the bag. 54! 😂

Interesting topic not covered enough.

TBH I think Dan could hole out with a horse shoe on a stick....🥳

I use Taylor Made clubs and it is more a general video on lofts and grinds, I don’t need to discuss all the different brands

First thing you do is buy Vokey wedges and throw out anything else you have

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Greatest video I have seen so far on loft and bounce. Learned so much from this video.
