Knowing which wedges to carry in your bag can be confusing, but what can be even more intimidating for golfers is understanding the terminology used when describing wedges — especially when it comes to grinds and bounce.

From the fundamentals of sole grind to the details of sole shaping and geometry, being able to grasp the basics allows you to select a grind that is going to work best for the way you play shots around the green, and it also helps you select wedges based on your normal playing conditions.
