Can you have too much bounce on a wedge?

If we open the face on a high-bounce wedge, the leading edge is raised too high off turf, and we will run the risk of hitting it skinny or be forced to hit down on the ball too much. this leads to getting too steep, creating a lower-than-desired shot that relies on spin and a good bounce.

A lot of bounce would be undesirable because it would make it more challenging to get the leading edge under the ball, causing you to thin it.
