bunker play

[Simbo]

Can't see the videos at work, why does how you hold the club make any difference to the result ??

How you hold the club will affect the clubface at impact.
A strong grip will close and deloft the face
A weak grip will open and add loft

For those of you who use the linear method.........how do you cope with wet/hard/compacted sand?

Good video showing two methods.


I suppose its the same any shot really bob. I wouldn't open the face really wide on my 60 degree big soled lob wedge off the tightest of lies as I know the club won't slip in under the ball.

You couldn't set up the ball like lucky in the video if there was no sand or really packed wet. You would blade the life out of it.

That's my point.
Either method works fine in nice fluffy sand but what happens when it rains?
Better to learn one technique that works well in all bunkers in my opinion

What method works well in both condition of bunkers? Not one bunker is the same at my course, for the fluffy ones i'll open up the face and hit it hard. For the ones with hardly any sand in, i'll play it like a normal chip, but purposely try and hit behind the ball ever so slightly.

Well, you certainly cant use the bounce in compacted sand
