I would strongly suggest finding a short game practice area and try the same thing with different clubs.

Lets say I have 10yds to the fringe (all uphill and on the slope) ...
(1) and only a few yds from the fringe to the pin then I would be using my 60° wedge with a fairly good swing at it. Ball goes mainly up.
(2) and many yds from the fringe to the pin, then I could be using up to an 8iron to get more horizontal fly distance and roll out of the chip (using the same swing tempo and backswing length).

But to each their own.
