- Use multiple sand wedges–PW (48degrees of loft) Gap (52 degrees of loft) SW (56 degrees) & Lob (60 degrees)
- Each sand wedge has “Bounce” on the bottom of the sand wedge that skips the ball out of the sand bunker-Never dig it out-swing it out!
- Swing smooth and easy.
- Sand shots require a more vertical motion like drawing the letter “V”(clubhead)
- The motion is inside to inside NOT out side to inside.
- Hard sand use less bounce, 4-6 degrees.
- Soft sand use more bounce, 8-12 or more degrees
- Longer bunker shots use a 52 degree (lower)
- Short bunker shots use a 56 or 60 degree (high)
- Set-Up:Pick the correct wedge according to sand tecture and length of shot.
- Stance open to about 40 degrees-beginners stay square.(Left)
- Sand wedge slightly open–allows golfer to utilize more bounce.
- Ball position slightly forward (or middle)
- Weight on left foot slightly (75% left foot)
- Swing:Swing twice as hard compared to a pitch shot. (drag takes place)
- Hit about two inches behind ball. (see” egg drill”)
- Complete the finish-like a full golf swing.
- Don’t lift-it-out—let the clubhead do it.
- REMEMBER the shaft finishes vertical or slightly right of the target–never release and swing the club head around your body
