Return of the Hack
The problem with SW that comes with sets are the soles are exactly like all of the other irons, they are very thick no matter what compared to other wedges and don't let you dig in like actual wedges with the leading edge. SW's that come with sets are not good out of sand.
For me it all depends on my lie and how far away the pin is, and how much green I have to work with, if it's a long bunker shot I'll go with a 56* or a 52* and if it's a short shot with a tight pin I'll go with a 60*
Ahhh...so THAT'S what my problem was. Until I got my Nike wedges, I was always using the 'prepackaged' sand wegde that came with my iron set. Chances of getting out of the sand were about 50/50. The 4 rounds I played on vacation with my current wedge saw courses with a lot of sand- more than I'm used to. Not a single problem- out first time every time and even went up and down on one hole and I never do that.
