First, HH is out of the picture.

I'm sorry but this is not correct. There is a place for horizontal hinging in both greenside and "not too far away" fairway bunkers.

You would use HH in a greenside bunker when you have a low lip and really need the ball to run out far, obviously you would need a big green.

You can also use HH when you have say a 60-80 yard bunker shot. Everyone always says it's the "hardest shot in golf" when if they realized all they had to do was still hit the sand first and give the some "Roll" through impact and they'd be fine.
