What's your wedge setup look like in regards to lofts, bounce, and grinds?

I've struggled with pitching and chipping for a few years now, but I'm starting to think at least part of it has to do with the bounce and grinds of my wedges.
Started researching this and took a closer look at everything and I currently have an older Vokey 52° with 8° of bounce that tends to dig, and a 588 Cleveland 58° with 12° of bounce that tends to hit thin, especially since I play it a little open on pitches.
Dropping the 3 iron and getting a 52° - 12°F Vokey SM8 , 56° - 9°M Cleveland RTX4 Raw, and 60° - 6°L Cleveland RTX4. So basically reversing the bounce on my wedge setup and adding some strategic grinds. Still prob gonna skull occasionally it but hoping this will give me a fighting chance, with the 52° being my low bump and run club, 56° as the workhorse, and 60° for lobs, some compacted bunker play, and knockdowns.

52 and 56 are both 10 bounce Calloway MD4 with the standard grind. 60 degree is 12 bounce K grind vokey.
I am sure these are the wrong bounce and grind for me, but I got them super cheap. I plan on doing a full bag fitting in 2021 at some point and I’ll address it then.

How do you like the Jaws?

Mizuno black TP5 ( they’re sexy)
50/7
55/9
60/6
Seen some good info on having one high and one low bounce club, so debating about increasing my sand wedges bounce to give me more versatility in softer lies, but haven’t had major problems as is

I’ve been a Callaway wedge guy since the MD Forged. I like the weight and feel and they spin as good as any. As far as the T ground, I’ve found it useful. I don’t feel like I’m hindered with any shots. My chips and pitches have come a long way the last year and figuring out how to use the bounce on that club has been huge.

Ping Glide Wedges 3.0
Ping measures effective bounce.
Degree / Grind / Bounce
50 / SS / 12
56 / SS / 12
60 / TS / 10
I have had both of the Ping and Titleist Reps tell me that most amateurs and even some Pro's don't play enough bounce in their wedges.

48 degree SM6- 8 degree bounce- F grind I believe
(100-110/tight lie chip)
54 degree SM7- 10 degree bounce- S grind
(70-80/greenside rough chip/semi firm greenside bunker)
58 degree SM7- 14 degree bounce- K grind
(60 and in, flying a bunker, soft sand bunker)
58 degree is one of my favorite clubs in the bag. K grind is a very wide sole so it's easier to hit for me out of thick rough and fluffy sand
My pitching wedge is 43 degrees of loft
(100-110/tight lie chip)
54 degree SM7- 10 degree bounce- S grind
(70-80/greenside rough chip/semi firm greenside bunker)
58 degree SM7- 14 degree bounce- K grind

I keep it simple and consistent with Cleveland RTX4 50, 54, 60 all in their medium bounce. Makes me more consistent

That’s a good setup. I saw an interview with Tiger where he said amateurs shouldn’t have less than 12 degrees of bounce in their wedges.

Cleveland
50 CBX2 11°
54 CBX2 12°
58 RTX4 6°
60 CG16 12°
All my wedges are high bounce with the exception of the 58 because I needed something I could chip off of tight rock hard ground that we get in texas summertime. Not carrying a 3 wood now so I have 4 wedges.
