For PGA Tour pros, a greenside bunker shot is often preferable to hitting from the rough. For the rest of us mere mortals? That thump of a ball landing in sand might as well be the sound of strokes being added to the scorecard.
To the skilled player, a bunker represents a reasonable chance at an up-and-down. To the average golfer, it’s golf’s version of quicksand—the more you struggle, the deeper you sink, watching your scorecard inflate with each desperate swing.
While PING can’t eliminate the gulf between Tour pros splashing out to tap-in range and a weekend warrior’s excavation project, they’re launching the BunkR; a new club designed to make the average golfer’s escape from a sandy hell significantly more likely.
ChipR’s sanding sibling
If you’ve been paying attention to PING’s past specialty club offerings, the BunkR will make perfect sense.
“Coming off the wild success of the chipper, we really have looked at are there certain club types that can do one job really well,” explained Ryan Stokke, PING’s Director of Product Design.
