Why does more camber help a slider?  Does Camber help reduce effective bounce which would benefit a slider?  It would be nice if you talked about effective bounce in a future episode (just a thought).  I'm a wedge fanatic.

My favorite wedge of all time is the DCI 962 SW that I still use.  It's over 15 years old and is still a great wedge.  I don't mind that the groves are worn out because I try to use trajectory for distance control and it has a great killed leading edge and C grind.   I can't find this wedge on the internet.

Clayton: 

Camber helps a slider because it's essentially less friction with the turf.  Think of camber like a circle, and no camber as a square.  The square has a lot of surface area on the turf...the circle has just a small amount of surface area.  It can effectively reduce bounce.

I think I remember that old 962 SW.   Doesn't have a "triple grind sole" or something?  Post a picture!
