That SGI wedge probably has a ton of bounce on it. Wedges with lower bounce will be better off of tight lies. Higher bounce will work better on wet lush lies.

Yep!

I think it's important to really assess the lie you're dealing with. When it's tight like that, I like something that has a sharp leading edge and a smaller profile. I will also make sure to keep my hands in front of the ball (even a little more extreme than normal) to ensure that I hit the ball first. That's pretty important. I've never owned a GI sand or lob wedge so I'm not sure what to say about that. I have an old Vokey in the basement that I practice hitting into a net off the concrete. It really promotes ball first contact.
