Interesting stuff. I'm usually just happy to get the ball out at the first attempt but maybe Phil's targetted practice is something I should be trying. Having said that, I don't remember the last time I specifically practised bunker shots.

Thanks for that mate.

I just come back from a bit of bunker practice at the driving range as it happens (having been in five of the buggers yesterday) and found I had more success if I treated it almost like a full shot i.e. transfer of weight and long follow through.

This video seems to bare that out.

I also found that I couldn't get on with the large bounce on my SW which made it more likely that I would blade the ball in the sort of builders sand I'm usually in. My 58 Vokey with less bounce was the tool for job IMHO

FWIW Phil Michelson comes across as a really good teacher. Any idea which DVD this is taken from?

I'm pretty sure it's called "Secrets of the short game".

If you look through the related pages there's a couple more clips from it.
