How do I measure the bounce on a wedge?

[cliveb]

I've got an old 60 degree lob wedge that works well, but it has no milling. ("Swilken tornado trouble wedge" - it cost £15 about 12 years ago).

I think that replacing it with a milled wedge might give me some additional spin. But I have no idea what the bounce on my current wedge is, and if I get a new one I'd like much the same bounce.

Is there a way to measure the bounce on a club?

Look at it against any declared bounces on your other or other players wedges.

My 60 is only a 5 bounce which I like, I want to get underneath my 60 and flop it without the worry of knifing it so as little bounce as possible for me.

Use an angle finder.

Fish's method is a good approximation.

Its easy peasy, you'll just need a trampoline, some step ladders and a blowtorch.....
