Looking at buying the new wedges. Since lefty’s are only available in 52/56/60, looking for a 54 and 58. Do I bend the 52 or 56 to a 54 and a 56 or 60 to a 58?
How would that change the bounce on them? I’m normally steep on my wedges, so don’t know if more or less bounce is better. I would probably prefer more bounce as opposed to less, but would like your expertise.
Thanks.
Taking the 54 to a 56 and the 56 to a 58 would increase the bounce by 2 degrees on each, so if that’s what you’re looking for, that would work.

if you increase loft 1*, you increase bounce 1* (and vice versa). If you’re looking for more bounce I would adjust a 52 to 54 and a 56 to 58.
Personally, I play a 54 and 58 also. The 54 is fine as it is with 6* of bounce, but I wanted a higher lofted sand wedge with a lot of bounce so I increased a 56 with 12* of bounce to 58* giving me 14* of bounce. I suck in the sand and the added bounce (2*) has helped me from digging (I’m steep also).
Thanks for the reply, appreciate you clarifying the bounce increasing would help a steeper swing.
Sounds like it would be best to take the 52 to a 54 and a 56 to a 58.
Thanks,
I’m assuming you recommend taking the 52 to a 54
