Yup, I especially like, “you have to commit to swinging hard and fully through the ball”, so it goes further away and I have to chase it 50 yards.

You are the BEST that I have ever seen👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I tried this yesterday and it really helped! Thank you!

The GREATEST video 👍👍👍👍

❤ It. Thanks for helping someone who struggles in the sand.

Do you have a video which counters the ball initially going straight and then fading off to the right?

Excellent demonstration and explanation Alex on a simple bunker technique. I very much like the set up of the right foot pulled back and alignment to the flag with the weight forward. I do use an open club face on loose sand and then close the face slightly on compact sand. My problem now is not taking enough of a backswing and accelerating through the ball on the follow through. I'll get it together eventually! You always have a great contribution for us Alex! Thanks!!

Thank you kindly and sounds like a longer smoother tempo will help also. Let us know how you get on!

I've never seen a sand shot I couldn't skull across a green. I'll try anything, maybe this will help.

My issues are with deep greenside bunkers with very little or no sand in them & so you must get the ball up fast !

Work wonders. In 5x, Out 5x…..Tried it on 1/7…came out beautifully.

Alex i’m one of your longtime followers and was a little bit skeptical because your techniques seem too easy. But it is direct and it is working for me. Thanks again. I do have one question. What degree of loft would you recommend for most amateurs to get out of the sand. ?? I have both 56° and 60° available. Again, thanks

@TheArtofSimpleGolf

Great to hear! It is sometimes annoying how simple is what we need. Myself included !! Unfortunately you just have to test and it depends on the bounce you have on each and the type of sand. Personally I 80% use and suggest 56• but that’s maybe more from never really having a 60 until a couple of years ago

easy to say this, you want to try to get out of the bunkers at my (expensive), much lauded course on the Gower in Swansea. They've been terrible for years.....

I tend to hit the ball directly most of the time (using various techniques) and not sure how this technique addresses that issue.

Worst part of my game is the sand i try an play away from it LOL thanks for the tip i will try it this weekend new sub here

For a women with a slower swing speed, would you recommend using a gap wedge or sand wedge for most bunker shots? Thanks.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf

It depends on how the bottom of those wedges are shaped. Sand wedge has a rounded bottom called “bounce” this helps to not dig in too much. The others will probably do so.

Bedankt

My course has received a lot of rain and the bunkers are firm. Any suggestions for hitting out of firm, wet, compact sand? I have closed the face slightly and use a 58* wedge with 10* of bounce but still have issues.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf

Don’t dig feet in. Firm up arms a little and try chipping feel a little more

Thanks for the video. It would be helpful if you showed the correct swing more than twice. Most of your video is spent showing what not to do, negative reinforcement. If you spent the majority of the time showing the correct swing it would reinforce the positive. Thanks!

Great, “feel,” lesson. Counter-intuitive. But, I need counter-something. What I’m doing ain’t getting it done.

Looks like a standard bunker shot technique. My problem is when I open the club face, it appears like a weird angle and I cannot hit my mark or maintain the proper depth of sand, especially in soft fluffy sand.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf

You might be adding too much shaft lean. Lower hands at address and that will open face

If you give me fluffy sand I nail hit. If you give me hard beach sand I'm toast.

The subtitles are in the way of seeing what you're trying to show us.

Looks like solid consistency advice and I'll give it a go, but it sure seems like he hit that last shot about 40 yards?

The lesson would have been much better if the written words were not in the way most of the time keeping observers from seeing how the club is to enter the sand. Luckily I had seen enough demonstrations to know what he was showing.

The subtitles completely obscure the ball. Has nobody noticed this?

Stack and tilt?

Not really. I guess some relation to a couple of the cues. But S&T mainly highlights and goes further in what a lot of good golf swings do and should.

Would really like to see your take on the S&T swing technique and its benefits. I play to a 9 and switching to this type of simplified method has substantially helped my ball striking and made me way more consistent throughout the bag. Even helps me with greenside bunkers which have been the weak link in my game. I am a subscriber. Much appreciate your instructional videos and your clear explanations of what you’re trying to teach us! Many thanks!

The on screen comments interferes with the visual aspects of the lesson.

The most guaranteed way to get your ball out of the bunker is to pick it up and drop it outside the bunker. 😁

It's so spiteful, because the video should be made up front to show better how he gets the ball out of the bunker. Now I need to learn from the words instead of the movements and stand.
