The Economy Bounce Gauge is a great tool for measuring the bounce angle of any Using the GolfWorks Club Protractor (included as a kit (GW1011) or sold quickly and accurately. There is no clamping down of the head required. Simply separately (GWPRO)), you can accurately calculate the bounce angle of any iron.
