  I use the shortest punch shot and just hope to get into a more playable rough. Getting greedy does more harm in that stuff

  It's a bit-ch for sure, you can try punch with varying results. Most times a punched wedge will move the ball and i would forget about a par once in that stuff usually, and think easy Bogie and maybe make miracle par. You can exagerrate the problem real quick trying to make a hero shot.

  Aim for a nearby bunker with a full wedge shot?

  I use the WD button!!  LOL!!

  On a serious note can't say I have an answer other than what someone else said, find the shrotest distance to some relatively short grass or some other more favorable lie, which is anything,  and use a wedge punch.

  Could depend on your wedges too. The high level cleves, and probably ATV;s, will have more success getting out of that stuff than a lower level wedge. Not that the outcome will be some brilliant shot, but if you can get into some normal rough or even the faiwrway you have a chance.

  In some cases, hitting backwards or sideways might give you the best outcome.

  Best advise I have is to just not hit into it, although I understand that sometimes it just happens!

  If you have trouble getting out of there....   Don't get into the 90% rough....lol

  I have no Idea of the shot you will use, but I just hit and hope really.

  Yep. Even if you have to aim the shot back toward the tee.

  Goal #1 is to have a better lie for your next shot, even if the lie is less deep rough.

  Put the back spin dot in the middle of the ball, use your most lofted wedge, and use Punch or Full shot mode and a full swing.

  A punch will always get you out. Forget distance and carry, aim to the closest part of the fairway and punch out with a wedge, full swing.
