Usually referred to when discussing wedge specifications, bounce is the description of one type of sole angle where the back edge of the sole is lower than the front edge. A bounce angle on the sole is what keeps wedges from digging too deep in the sandor getting stopped by tall grass. Measured in degrees, typical bounce angles range from 6 to 15.

is made up of all the features of a club's sole design. These include bounce angle, sole width, leading edge, rocker, and camber. The amount of bounce on a wedge can have a huge impact on how the club will react in grass or sand. A wedge or club with more bounce will skim across the surface of grass or sand leaving smaller divots, these wedges are better suited for players with steep swings or for soft, wet conditions. A club with less bounce is better suited for a player with a shallow swing or for hard, dry conditions.

Bounce, or bounce angle, is a term used to describe the angle inscribed by the leading edge of a golfing iron (particularly a wedge), the sole of the club, and the ground. In plainer terms, bounce angle is an indication of how much the sole, or bottom-most part, of the club head lifts the leading edge. A high bounce angle (angles of 12-15o are not uncommon) indicates a sole which lifts the leading edge significantly, whereas a a club with little or no bounce allows the leading edge to contact the ground without interference.
