Matched to Turf Firmness
Set against the actual courses you play most, since a bounce number correct for one course can be wrong for another within the same county.

Wedge Fitting
Sheet 05 on the rack, run at Priya's grind station. Bounce and sole width matched to the turf you actually play, with loft gapping checked across the full wedge run.
The Problem
Catalogue Turf Is Not Inland Northwest Turf
Most bounce charts are written for a softer, wetter fairway than Spokane runs most of the year.
Bounce is meant to let the sole of a wedge glide through turf rather than dig into it, but how much bounce helps depends entirely on how firm and thin that turf is. Spokane courses run dry and firm through most of the playing season, especially by mid-to-late summer, which is a very different surface than the soft, well-irrigated conditions a generic bounce recommendation is usually written for.
A high-bounce, wide-sole wedge that performs beautifully in soft turf can bounce off firm, thin Inland Northwest fairways and skull the ball, while a low-bounce wedge built for firm turf can dig and stick in genuinely soft conditions. We fit bounce and sole grind against the actual turf firmness you play most often, not a chart written for a different climate.

Shaped to Your Attack Angle
Heel, toe and trailing-edge relief ground to how the club actually enters turf for your swing, not a stock factory profile.
Loft Spacing Across the Run
Checked against your longest iron on one end and your most-lofted wedge on the other, so no yardage gap sits wider than a full swing can comfortably fill.

Wedges carry the shortest standing re-check interval of any category on the ledger.
Shortest Interval on the Ledger
Forty Rounds Before the Next Look
Wedges take more full-speed, high-loft impact with turf and sand than any other club in the bag, which is why they carry the shortest standing re-check interval on the ledger — forty rounds, roughly half what an iron gets. Grooves wear, bounce edges round off, and loft can walk a degree or more in a single hard-playing season.
This is also the category we most often catch drifting during a routine re-check on a customer who came in for something else entirely, since a worn wedge rarely announces itself the way a bad shaft does.
