Numbers on the back of Vokey Wedges

[bignev]

Have a 52 and a 58 degree vokey wedges and enjoy using them around the green and from about 50 yards out. Can anyone tell me what the numbers on the back af the clubs signify.

You may have 56-08
56 is the loft of the face and the 08 is the angle of the bottom of the club, called the bounce

Thanks Bob that helps have actually got 258.08 which I asume meens the same. Have the same bounce on both the 52 and the 58 is that how it should be?

The bounce varies on the courses you play.
If you play more hard links fairways, you should have less bounce.
Lush long fairways would require more bounce.
8 is pretty average
