How to Choose A Sand Wedge

Video Transcript

"Hello, welcome, my name is Julio Nutt, I'm a master instructor at the Jim McLean Golf School in Miami Florida. In this clip we're going to talk about, how to choose the correct sand wedge. The very important thing to know about the sand wedge, is that all sand wedge have what is called a bounce. A bounce is where the club, is what we're going to use to hit the ground or the sand. And the more bounce the club has, the more the club is obviously going to bounce. If you're playing in a court that has very soft bunkers and a very soft surface, you need more bounce, for the club to react against the sand, the soft sand. If you're playing on wet grass, or bunkers that does not have much sand, you need less bounce. For example, with the Tyler's club they show different numbers, and these numbers come from 4 to 14, this is a middle bounce, because it's a 08. So many two players travel and they have the same club with different levels of bounce, and depending on the golf condition, how hard, how soft it is, they're going to pick the right one for that week. This is Julio Nutt at the Jim McLean Golf School, just talking a little bit about, how to pick the right sand wedge."
