WEDGE LOFT, BOUNCE, AND GRINDS
Learn how loft, bounce, and grinds work together to create just the right Vokey wedge for your swing and playing conditions.
What is loft?
Loft is the angle of the clubface that influences the trajectory and distance of a wedge shot.
Loft is the key to dialing in consistent distance gapping throughout your wedge setup. Properly spacing the lofts from club to club helps create consistent distance gaps, with Bob Vokey recommending approximately 4–6 degrees between wedges to help ensure you have the right club for every yardage.

What is bounce?
Bounce is the angle between the leading edge and the lowest point of the wedge sole, helping the club move through the turf rather than dig into it.
More bounce can provide greater forgiveness by helping prevent the leading edge from digging, while less bounce allows the leading edge to sit closer to the ground. The right amount of bounce depends on your swing and the conditions you typically play.

What are grinds?
A grind is the way the sole of a wedge is shaped, influencing how it interacts with the turf and how easily you can manipulate the face.
Vokey grinds are designed around different swing types, playing conditions, and shot preferences. Finding the right grind can help give you the right balance of forgiveness, versatility, and control for your game.
