wedge question?

[mackdaddy]

I am thinking about bending my lob wedge 2 extra degrees upright.  

I tried using a chipper when I had an extra club to burn.  I liked it for shots just off the green.  When I put a 5 fairway in my bag I took it out.  

I rarely use a lob wedge beyond 50 yards.  I really liked the upright nature of the chipper around the green 10 yards and in it helps the use of a putting stroke.  

What I want to know is has anyone tried this?  What are peoples thoughts about issues I may not be anticipating.

I will do it with a High toe wedge.

I’ve always gone flatter in wedges by 1-2° of their standard loft

i stand the club up and keep the heel off the ground for chips and even some pitches.

I have played toe down shots like that.  I found that I often lost the angle of the face to the left doing that.

More than likely caused by how the club moves in the takeaway and/or how your lower body is moving

Maybe.  I tend to play wedges very well and hit that shot like a put.  I think it is how my eyes perceive the angle of the face.  

I know it works well for many people it just hasn't been consistent for me.

I am hoping that having the club more upright when soled will help.

Thanks

Looks like feel play a big part in what we do. Learned that several years back during a titleist fitting. The fitter wanted to do some testing and experimenting with some things after my fitting since I as his last appointment and we both and traffic to fight I told him I had no problem staying and hitting more balls.

he changed the hosel settings on the driver but didn’t tell me what. My first swing the bal didn’t do what I expected it to do based on the fitting. Took another swing and same result. He goes you changed your swing to try and achieve your normal ball flight based on what you saw at address. Club was more closed than I was used to and I think he messed with lie angle too.
