Re: How much bounce is too much or not enough???

I was having trouble with my LW, I could hit the SW perfectly off tight lies and out of the sand. But couldn't hit the LW off the short grass. I noticed that the LW has a significant bounce compared to my SW, which has a wide sole (making it good in the sand) but a sharp leading edge with what looks to be no bounce. I have an Acuity 60º that I decided I wasn't going to use, and as it wasn't plated, so I've started to grind down the bounce until it plays as good as my SW off the fairway. I have a 6º bounce Cleveland for those long ruff lies.
