When I need to get over a tree from the rough I have found a good plan is to take more loft - to clear the tree - and grip long to compensate for the extra loft ...
So say I am 135m from the pin (148yds), rather than use my 8 iron I will use the wedge and grip long - right at the top - and hit it hard. So effectively playing a hard wedge with a 3 iron shaft length.
It usually works pretty well - sort of a 135m (148yd) 💥 very ⬆️ high🚀 wedge shot
(as an aside an advantage is hitting a hard long wedge is effective from the rough)
