For a fairway shot I can't see what effect bounce has.......in fact it can be difficult to hit a cut up shot with too much bounce on the club. Bounce would only be useful if you were hitting the ball fat. Yep, hit it fat, slice it around the greens. That will give you soft shots, which is very useful. Also allows you to avoid humps and bumps, whereby you can land the ball close to the hole and it will stop. The shot is actually with ball at your left foot, towards the pinkie toe, with a slicing action through the shot, favoring hitting it fat, rather than thin. Works great inside 50 yards. Works better with a gap wedge than lob wedge, unless in the ruff, where you will need speed to get through the grass and a higher lofted club.
