    I currently use my Vokey SM6 56.8 for all shots within 80 yards (no lob wedge in bag). Full swings, out of the bunker and around the green. I open and close the club face depending on the shot. My question is should I increase the bounce for better bunker performance? Will it affect negatively when I use in other situations? I was thinking the K grind for all versatility.

    Hard to say without knowing sand conditions at your courses. Two of my favorite courses have exact opposite types of sand and amount of sand in the bunkers. One I swear there is no bottom to with soft sand and I'd probably never get it out with 8 bounce and the other is very shallow, firm sand and I have to use my 60 with 4 bounce there. If you're only carrying a 56 and nothing with more loft, I'd think 8 is about right so you have some versatility. If you ever do go for a low wedge, I'd suggest a low bounce LW and high bounce SW so you have options. I use 54 with 14 bounce and 60 with 4.
