Swing O,
I use the same 59 with low bounce as my primary sand club, but take out a 56 degree wedge with 14 degrees of bounce and you will see and feel a tremendous difference. If I am playing a course with tough bunkers and have extra room in the bag this club makes a big difference. For example, last week I joined some of my students at a Tllinghast design private club and the bunkers can be a hassle so I took the 56 with 14 bounce.....
