In this episode of Rick Shiels Golf, we dive into the world of bunker shots with the new Ping Bunker club. Designed to revolutionize the way golfers tackle hazards, this club boasts 64° of Loft, a wide sole with 142° of Bounce, and a unique Ping I 2 Iron-inspired design. Rick takes the club for a spin, testing its performance in various bunker scenarios. Despite its unconventional appearance, the Ping Bunker proves to be a game-changer, effortlessly gliding through the sand and helping golfers escape bunkers with ease.
As Rick puts the club through its paces, he demonstrates the importance of playing it Square without adjusting the stance or face. The club's ability to smoothly navigate different lies, including wet and plug lies, showcases its versatility and effectiveness. While the Ping Bunker comes with a hefty price tag of £175, its performance justifies the investment for golfers looking to improve their bunker play. Rick enlists the help of an amateur golfer to further test the club, highlighting its accessibility even to those who struggle with traditional bunker shots.
Throughout the testing, the Ping Bunker proves to be a valuable tool for golfers facing challenges in bunker play. Its unique design and functionality offer a new approach to tackling hazards on the course. While not a magical solution, the club requires proper technique and speed to unleash its full potential. For golfers seeking to enhance their performance around the greens and overcome bunker woes, the Ping Bunker club emerges as a promising and effective option.
