Rocky planets and moons experiencing solar wind sputtering are continuouslysupplying their enveloping exosphere with ejected neutral atoms. To understandthe quantity and properties of the ejecta, well established Binary CollisionApproximation Monte Carlo codes like TRIM with default settings are usedpredominantly. Improved models such as SDTrimSP have come forward and togetherwith new experimental data the underlying assumptions have been challenged. Weintroduce a hybrid model, combining the previous surface binding approach witha new bulk binding model akin to Hofs\"ass & Stegmaier (2023). In addition, weexpand the model implementation by distinguishing between free and boundcomponents sourced from mineral compounds such as oxides or sulfides. The useof oxides and sulfides also enables the correct setting of the mass densitiesof minerals, which was previously limited to the manual setting of individualatomic densities of elements. All of the energies and densities used arethereby based on tabulated data, so that only minimal user input and no fittingof parameters are required. We found unprecedented agreement between the newlyimplemented hybrid model and previously published sputter yields for incidenceangles up to 45{\deg} from surface normal. Good agreement is found for theangular distribution of mass sputtered from enstatite MgSiO$_3$ compared tolatest experimental data. Energy distributions recreate trends of experimentaldata of oxidized metals. Similar trends are to be expected from future mineralexperimental data. The model thus serves its purpose of widespreadapplicability and ease of use for modelers of rocky body exospheres.
