Across the street from the course I grew up on they made some of the best adobe bricks in New Mexico, and I prefer a low bounce wedge. I have a low bounce 60 degree and a higher bounce 56 degree wedge. It's not rocket science, but the coneheads in Los Alamos (and the Senior Tour) are still working it out.
I used to play on a course in South Dakota that had a similar type of soil, and it was packed hard by the convoys of privately owned cart that frequented the place.
But I could never get used to a low-bounce wedge. Even off totally bare, cart-packed hardpan, I need a fair amount of bounce.
I have come to believe that the preference for bounce--or lack of it--is more about a player's technique than the firmess of the ground.
BTW -- Due to my brother's schedule, we had to move to 1:00 p.m. next Monday.
