For the average player, specially sand wedges like that, are a god send. Cleveland Smart Sole is a particularly good one.

I have 3 or 4 such wedges, that I give to friends, who really struggle with bunkers. Getting out of a bunker is almost automatic with that sort of wedge. What they lack in flexibility, they made up for, in consistency.
