The basics are very simple. I'll summarize:
- Bounce is the angle between the leading edge and sole of the wedge. (There's a very nice diagram, using an actual wedge, in the video.)
- If you have a steep angle of attack on the ball -- that is, you're a "digger" -- you need more bounce.
- If you have a shallow angle of attack on the ball -- that is, you're a "picker" -- you need less bounce.
- If you play where the ground is very soft, you need more bounce.
- If you play where the ground is very hard, you need less bounce.
And if the concept of bounce confuses you, don't feel embarrassed. We all have to deal with it. I would have less trouble hitting from the sand earlier on if I had simply known how bounce worked.
