Ping BunkR

Outstanding - the EYE2-inspired wide sole simply refuses to dig, with ample bounce keeping the sole moving through sand even from downslopes and plugged lies, and testing showing 11% more shots inside the target and 6% fewer left in the bunker versus a standard wedge. It gets you out without opening the face. Among the most forgiving short-game clubs made.

Niche, not a gapping wedge - the single 64-degree loft is built for escapes and greenside height, not for full-swing yardage gapping, with consistent height and stopping power from sand and rough but a specialist rather than a distance tool. Excellent within its narrow job, limited as a 50-70 yard wedge.

Low by design - the BunkR is built to be played with a square face, limiting any need for manipulation for consistency in setup, and the single loft and specialist sole mean it is not a shot-shaping wedge. Deliberately the antithesis of a workable wedge - simplicity is the feature.

Divisive - the feedback off the face is somewhat muted or dead for one reviewer, while another found it far more pleasant than expected with an exceptionally soft feel through impact, landing on a solid if unremarkable cast feel. Adequate for the job, but not a milled-wedge sensation.

Muted and understated - feedback that is somewhat muted or dead, not giving much back at impact, an unremarkable but inoffensive cast impact note. A quiet, functional acoustic.

Functional and nostalgic - the EYE2-inspired shape and profile, a wide-soled specialist look rather than a sleek tour blade, with a clean, confidence-inspiring footprint that mimics one of the most forgiving wedges of all time. Chunky and purposeful, with EYE2 nostalgia.
