Re: Cleveland CG 12 / 14 wedge Bounce question.

If you're making proper contact (club delofted, ball before ground) then bounce won't make a lick of difference.

Bounce actually 'saves' the shot by decreasing the chance of digging the club and laying sod over the ball.

My advice is to buy a wedge based on what you want to use it for. Primarily out of the bunker? Buy enough bounce to play your regular bunkers. Primarily used for full shots? Buy a wedge that fits more into your iron set. Needs to do everything? Then you need to compromise - less bounce than you'd like for bunkers, more than you'd like for fairway shots.

Personally, I play in heavy, dense sand, so 10 or 11° of bounce is actually borderline too much. So a low bounce wedge works well - I get to use it in bunkers and it's not too much to use out of the fairway.

The other option here that is often overlooked is to play less bounce and more sole width - possibly the best of both worlds. Low bounce for the fairway and the wide sole acts as more bounce in the bunker.

Re: Cleveland CG 12 / 14 wedge Bounce question.

In the CG line of wedges, the degree of bounce for, say, the one dot wedges varies depending on the loft. That is, not all the "low" bounce wedges have a 10 degree bounce. Look at the spec charts for the CG12 and/or CG14 at Cleveland’s web site for a complete list of the loft/bounce combinations.
