Any sand wedge will work if this is done, OR, you can buy a heavy bottomed wedge for those that chip out of the bunker..whatever floats your boat  |
I think you're mired in the 60's, Mr. Shibumi. The world of golf has changed, as have the clubs and the sand.
Gary Player was a great bunker player, in a different time. He used a technique that relied on endless practice and huge talent. He had clubs designed before we had high-speed video, that showed exactly what happens when a club enters the sand.
Justine Rose is generally considered one of the 2 or 3 best bunker players in the world.
No "vertical shaft", the opposite. No "open club face".

I'll concede that Luke Donald, also considered one of the best bunker players of the last 25 years, does use an open club face and more hands.
