In the tables below, wedge bounce runs from 4 degrees to 14. Makers that say what it is for mostly pair less bounce with firm turf and shallow swings and more bounce with soft turf and steep swings, with Cobra’s wide, low-bounce Widelow as the exception. No two makers use the same cutoff for low, mid and high, so read the degrees, not the label.
The ChartWedge bounce in degrees, by grind and loft
Each table is one maker’s line as its own spec page lists it. Read across a grind to see how its bounce changes with loft. A dash means that grind is not offered at that loft. Where two numbers share a cell, the maker lists two versions.

Titleist’s SM10 and SM11 differ on one grind. The SM10 launch release lists the higher-bounce K lob wedges (58 and 60 degrees) at 14 degrees. The SM11 release lists them at 12 and says they were measured at 14 before.
In their wordsWhat each maker says each grind is for
Only some makers say which turf or swing a grind suits. The wording below is each maker’s own, shortened. PING’s s259 page lists effective bounce for every grind but does not say which turf or swing each one suits; it points to its WebFit Wedge app instead.
| Maker and model | Grind | Bounce (degrees) | What the maker says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore | LOW | 6 | C-shaped sole with relief at the heel, toe and trailing edge. Listed for firmer turf, smaller divots and a shallower attack angle. |
| Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore | LOW+ | 8 | Same C-shaped sole with 2 degrees more bounce than LOW. Listed for firmer turf, smaller divots and a shallower attack angle. |
| Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore | MID | 10 | V-shaped sole with trailing edge relief. Listed for all turf conditions, average divots and a neutral attack angle. |
| Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore | FULL | 12 | Traditional sole. Listed for softer turf, larger divots and a steeper attack angle. |

| Titleist Vokey SM10 | K (58.14K, 60.14K) | 14 | Titleist says the 14 degree K is better suited to steep swings and soft conditions. |

Low, mid, highWhat low, mid and high mean in degrees
These are the only makers in this chart that attach a label to a degree figure. They do not line up: Titleist calls 8 degrees mid, while Cleveland names its 8 degree grind LOW+, as a step up from its LOW.
| Maker | Word it uses | Degrees |
|---|---|---|
| Titleist (WedgeWorks lob grinds) | Low | 4 (L, A) and 6 (K*) |
| Titleist (WedgeWorks lob grinds) | Mid | 8 (A+, 62M) |
| Titleist (WedgeWorks lob grinds) | Mid-high | 10 (V) |
| Cleveland (RTX 6 ZipCore) | LOW / LOW+ | 6 / 8 |
| Cleveland (RTX 6 ZipCore) | MID | 10 |
| Cleveland (RTX 6 ZipCore) | FULL | 12 |

Using itHow to use this chart
Start with the loft you want, then look down that column in each maker’s table. You will usually find three or four bounce options for a 56 or a 58.
Then match the number to your course and your swing using the makers’ own words in the second table. If the turf you play is mostly firm and your divots are small, the lower numbers are the ones the makers point to. If the turf is soft and your divots are deep, they point to the higher ones.
If you play both kinds of turf, or you are not sure which swing you have, a fitter can watch you hit a few shots and tell you. Our 56 vs 60 degree wedge guide covers which lofts to carry.
Watch forCommon mix-ups
The same grind letter does not mean the same bounce. Callaway’s S-Grind is 10 degrees at every loft in the Opus SP. Mizuno’s S profile in the Pro T-1 is 8 degrees at 46, 10 at 48 and 12 at 54. PING’s S is 12 degrees at most lofts and 10 at 58 and 60.
A name that sounds like a wide sole may be low or high. Cobra’s Widelow is 4 to 7 degrees. Callaway’s W-Grind is 12 to 14 and PING’s W is 14. Check the number.
One grind has more than one bounce. Callaway’s W-Grind is 12 degrees at 50 and 52 and 14 at 54 and up. Titleist’s F grind is 8, 10, 12 or 14 depending on loft. Cleveland’s LOW+ is 2 degrees above its LOW.
Low bounce is not only for firm turf. Cobra lists its low-bounce Widelow for soft bunkers and soft or medium turf. Cleveland says LOW+ was inspired by tour staff who wanted a mix of versatility and sand performance.
A new model year can change the number. The SM10 K lob wedge is 14 degrees and the SM11 one is 12. Read the spec page for the exact model you are buying.
FAQQuick answers
What is bounce on a wedge?
It is the sole angle that makers list in degrees, and it affects how the club moves through the turf. Callaway says higher bounce helps in soft sand and soft turf with steeper swings, and low bounce helps in firm turf and firm sand or shallow attack angles.
What bounce do 54 and 56 degree wedges come in?
In the tables above they run from 6 degrees (Mizuno Pro T-3 C profile, 56) to 14 (Callaway Opus SP and PING W grinds, and Titleist F at 54 and 56). Most makers offer three or four options at each of those lofts.
What bounce do 58 and 60 degree wedges come in?
From 4 degrees (Titleist T, and Cobra Widelow at 60) up to 14 (Callaway Opus SP and PING W). Cleveland sells its 6 degree LOW grind only at 58 and 60.
Is a higher or lower bounce better for soft turf?
The makers who say anything point the same way. Cleveland lists its 12 degree FULL grind for softer turf, larger divots and a steeper attack angle. Cobra lists Drop (10 to 12 degrees) for soft or medium turf and digger or steeper swings. Titleist says its 14 degree SM10 K suits steep swings and soft conditions. Cobra’s low-bounce Widelow is also listed for soft turf, because of its wide sole.
Are bounce and grind the same thing?
No. Bounce is a number. Grind is the shape of the sole, such as the relief cut away at the heel, toe and trailing edge. Titleist says its 12 degree K and 12 degree D have the same effective bounce but different sole designs for different playing styles and conditions.
Where do I find the bounce of my wedge?
On the maker’s spec page for that model. Titleist writes each wedge as loft, bounce and grind, so 58.06K is a 58 degree wedge with 6 degrees of bounce and the K grind. PING lists names like 56/S-12 and shows an effective bounce for each.
