Why it is good for bunkers
Comparison of sand movement when duffing in a bunker
- < SURE DD WEDGE >
- < Typical Wedge >
Since the SURE DD WEDGE is equipped with a slide sole, there is no need to open its face.
Why it is good for approach shots
The slide sole glides smoothly through a variety of lie situations, not just bunkers. Making a shot with the idea that a slight duff is OK will reduce misses from topping. The club's sole is designed to slide well even during a duff, so it's hard to do too much damage.
The Super Undercut Cavity allows players to easily get height on shots, even in pressure situations like an approach that traverses a bunker.
< SURE DD WEDGE >
Even if the head hits behind the ball, the sole slides easily without lifting up the grass, generating little resistance.
< Typical Wedge >
Grass is lifted up and pulled out by the head, creating significant resistance.
