  hi

  the best clubs are the higher end wedges, such as pings, clevelands and taylor made, but even they require alot of practice.

  I punch, flop, and pitch out of sand with pretty good results using the level 42 64 degree Ping you are carrying.   This is my current "around the green" wedge and gets tons of use. 

  the course and lie makes a huge difference for bunker shots.  Bethpage has some fun bunkers that offer decent lies.  CCC has none that I can find.

  Thank you,I picked that club up the other day,but I was thinking I might need something different to get out of the bunkers even better,I'm only at level 51 right now,there are some that people have talked about ,but I will have to wait till I get to level 60+ just having fun and want to get better.

  Z Satin TP 64 Wedge, Level 39, 50 yds... In my humble opinion, the best wedge for short game. If I have to  get rid of all others I still wanna keep that one...

  I see that 8buster8 says he flops out of bunkers. I have had terrible results trying this around the green. Could you please explain to this dummy how you accomplish this. TIA

  For starters you need to be close enough to the edge of the bunker so the flop carries out of it. Punching and pitching are far better choices.
