‘Best wedges (and general advice) for a terrible bunker player?’ GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most effective wedges from the bunker.
WRXer ‘OspreyCl’ says he has been working hard on his bunker game but is still finding it very difficult. Beyond the obvious answer of more practice/lessons, he asks fellow members for their suggestions on wedges that could help, with WRXers providing their picks in our forum as well as technique and spec pointers.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Tax77: “Less loft, more bounce, scoop it out.”
- Nessism: “The Eye 2 cup sole design wedges are magic out of the sand. Maybe the best ever sole design for that purpose.”
- Davidv: “Just get a Callaway Sure Out2, and your bunker problems are a thing of the past.”
- jdcadkin: “I have used both a Vokey K and D grind with success. But the absolute goat out of the bunker is the TM Hi-Toe Bigfoot. 100% automatic.”
- dlow206: “I have always been a terrible bunker player. I have even used the Cleveland wedge (forgot the name) that is similar to the Callaway Sure Out. Then I got fitted for the Edel SMS T-Grind. I didn’t really make much change to my technique, and I became a decent bunker play. I recently had a club building mishap (long story) and wrecked the head on the Edel. I’ve bought some other wedges since and haven’t changed my technique really since the Edel, and now I am back to being a pretty crappy bunker player.”

As GolfWRXers of a certain age remember, back in 2004, for a celebration of its 50th anniversary, Golf Pride released the cult classic V55 grip.
The popular model combined Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet and Victory grips, the latter of which features the iconic-in-its-own-right “Grip Rite Swing Rite” alignment aid.
According to the company the “blend of responsiveness, feel, and a throwback design that helped with consistent hand placement, V55 quickly became a mainstay in golf bags.”
Now, for a limited time, it can be a mainstay in your golf bag again. Available via the company website, Golf Pride is relaunching full cord and rubber versions of the V55.
The non-cord V55 will retail for $11.99, while the cord version will cost $12.99.

Personally love the PM Grind 19 60° as my greenside bunker club, but the Kirkland 52/56° for the rest. The PM Grind has such a large face, you don’t feel like you can miss. The confidence boost is huge. Just open the face a little, and a nice solid swing will get you out of most bunkers.
