By Steve Silverman. An approach wedge is used by golfers when a pitching wedge is too much club on the golfer's approach to the green. Less than 20 years ago, golfers had a pitching wedge and a sand wedge in their golf bags.
Low bounce wedges are typically in the lower loft range â eg pitching and gap wedges which are used for longer approach shots. A lot of bounce would be undesirable because it would make it more difficult to get the leading edge under the ball, causing you to âthinâ it.
