In general, you should have one high bounce wedge and one low bounce wedge. It is best to have an option for all sand and turf types.
The wedge you use the most for chipping should be the one that fits your tendency. If you tend to be a front edge divot taking chipper, than your main wedge should be a higher bounce wedge. This will give you a little margin of error to prevent the chunk.
If you tend to sweep or hit the ground mid sole, than you would want your main wedge to be a low bounce wedge.
Generally, you’ll want to use your lower bounce wedge for high lofted shots so you can open the face with out the leading edge coming too far off the ground.
Keep up to date with wedge groove rules as they are a changing. The low spinning 40 yard shot will be gone soon.
