Does the grind on Vokey wedges make a big difference?

I ordered a 56 and 60 wedge the other week and they arrived and I got an M grind for the 56 but the 60 is an L grind. (Accidentally ordered the wrong one) looked it up and it sounds like the L grind isn’t forgiving at all. Should I send it back or will it not be noticeable? Just curious.

I’m not a vokey guy, but doesn’t the grind have something to do with the bounce and your typical angle of attack?

ETA: here’s an article explaining it. It seems to matter

An L grind is low bounce that allows you to open the face more in firm conditions. Not going to be very forgiving.

The grinds are mostly how you utilize the wedge and the conditions you play. Best to mix them up.

Currently playing an F in my 52 (full shots), S in my 56 (10 degrees of bounce, don't really open the 56 too often except in bunker), L in my 60 (open it up a lot, and Texas summers are firm conditions).

It makes a difference

The grinds that have more bounce can be a shocker for you if you are a skilled golfer.
