As far back as I can remember there have always been high and low bounce wedges. It is the bounce that makes the D grind useless here. Phoenix has bunkers with high lips and virtually no sand at all. The only way to get it over the lip is open the face and the 12* bounces into the ball. I have played all over the country and have never seen bunkers like these, especially on nicer courses. They say winds blow all the sand out of the bunkers so they just don't replace it. Additionally some of these desert courses have hard pan around the greens and if you have enough green to work with you can put the ball back and lean the shaft for a chip, but it is gonna come in low and run. perseveringgolfer, cksurfdude, null and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Aerojet Max 10.5* ...
