Bounce

Bounce

A club design wherein the sole or bottom of the club head is angled. The sole is angled so that the back, or trailing, edge of the sole is lower than the front edge (Kelley, about.com). Bounce also refers to the degree of angle on the sole. A wedge has the biggest angle on its sole, and therefore the most bounce.

When hitting the ball, the back edge of a club with a greater bounce will be closer to the ground, allowing the golfer to hit more effectively in taller grass or sand, (pinemeadowgolf.com). A golfer would choose a club with less bounce on a shorter, harder surface.
