Bounce or bounce angle is the angle between the leading edge of a golf club, typically a wedge, the sole of the club, and the ground. The bounce angle is an indication of how much the sole of the club lifts the leading edge. A high bounce angle (angles of 12–15° are not uncommon) indicates a sole which lifts the leading edge significantly, whereas a club with little or no bounce allows the leading edge to contact the ground without interference.
