  im trying to figure out which grind is right for me.
  i currently use vokey spin mills 54 (8*bounce) & 60 degree (4* bounce), but i have been going thru a swing change past 2 years, and i am starting to attack the ball (steeper) than i used to. I have always felt more comfortable with the leading edge closer to the ground on tight lies, but i feel that i probable need to change my wedges to have a bit more bounce. ( i use to sweep the ball more, but now i am taking a slightly steep attack, and taking a small divot on full shots.
  
  if i were to stick with the new volkey wedges, i wd prob go 54.11 & 60.07, for my new wedges.
  
  my mishits are thin & fat equally.
  
  i have talked to my buddy who owns scratch wedges, and he's pretty good at analyzing my game, and says that im def driver/slider and i sd look at the tnc or egg grinds.
  
  so my question is, tnc or egg? i understand the egg has thinner sole width, and tnc has moderate sole width.
  both prob suit my moderate angle of attack, and both with medium camber, but which way should i go.
  
  i guess my questions are, which is better or more versatile from tight lies?
  which is better from use int he bunker.
  
  i do like to manipulate the face, to play high semi flop shots around the green, yet i want a wege with a grind that i can use from tight lies to play a bump and run. also want to have enuff bounce to be able to use it in the bunker. does this make sense?
  
  what do u suggest?
  
  i wl prob make a call to your customer service before i purchase, but just thought i throw it out there for now.
  
  thanks,
  rob

  Hey Rob,
  
  What type of conditions do you normally play on? Soft? Firm? What type of sand do the courses in your area have? Soft? Firm/Wet? These are things to take into consideration so that we can fit you to the proper grind(s).
  
  Thank you,
