I can't believe the spin that comes off of this thing

Not for everyone, but a genuinely effective niche tool: the 67-degree, high-bounce head pops the ball out of almost any bunker lie with a square face and spins remarkably.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 4 cons
  • +67 degrees of loft with 14.5 degrees of bounce lets you attack sand square-faced with a normal chipping setup
  • +Incredible, zippy spin from the full-face grooves; shots stop very quickly
  • +Got the ball out from every lie tested, including plugged and bare
  • Won't cure everything; you can still chunk it if steep in wet sand
  • Square-face shots come out quite flat and take getting used to
  • Very niche club that costs one of your 14 spots, and Ping premium pricing is expected

For: Steep diggers who chronically leave the ball in the bunker

every bunker shot got out of the bunker it popped up every time

A one-job super-game-improvement bunker wedge that genuinely gets the ball out every time, but only worth a bag spot if bunkers are your nightmare.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 4 cons
  • +Got the ball out of the bunker every single time, even on decelerated or heavy strikes
  • +Huge 64 degrees of loft pops the ball up with no need to open the face
  • +Very wide sole with 14.5 degrees of bounce glides through the sand instead of digging
  • Only really usable out of bunkers, so it costs you one of your 14 club slots
  • Expensive at £175 RRP (£185 graphite) for a single-purpose club
  • Huge head and loft look strange and take adjustment

For: Golfers who literally cannot get out of bunkers and want confidence over technique
