It's super easy to get the ball out of bunkers with this club.Just square up like a regular iron shot and hit the sand a little before the ball to pop the ball out of the bunker. No need to open up the club face. As an additional bonus, you are less likely to chunk if you use this club for chipping. The wide sole helps it from digging into the ground.This club has basically replaced my 56 degree sand wedge and 60 degree lob wedge.Pros:-Easy to hit balls out of bunkers. No opening up club face.-Easier to use than sand wedge/60 degree wedge for chipping. Less likely to dig into the ground due to the wide sole. The 3 tiered sole seems to work well on variety of surfaces.-Graphite shaft takes the sting out on bad strikes. This is my first graphite wedge. I like it.Neutral:-Full face grooves. Not sure how helpful this is. If I hit the ball on the toe, who cares how much it spins if it flies like garbage.-Not sure how long HydraZip face treatment will last. I have played 5 rounds of golf with it. Couple of hits out of the bunker + some chipping. The face already looks a bit dinged up.Cons:-Difficult to open up the face for fancier shots like high angle lob shots. Also, it might be a little more difficult to get out of really deep pot bunkers. Luckily, there are no pot bunkers in my area. YMMV.Overall, this is an excellent club. If you struggle in the bunkers, it makes hitting out super simple. Easy chipping with the club is an added bonus.
