The Modern Bunker Trend That Tour Pros Use | Film Study | Golf Digest

Спорт

Have you noticed a change in how Tour pros hit bunker shots these days? It looks a little different from the conventional approach that was taught for decades. So what is the technique? Why does it work? Is it better? In this Film Study, Luke Kerr-Dineen breaks down the modern bunker trend and why it's becoming more and more prevalent.

    Their bunkers are perfect and totally consistent. The ones we play suck.

    For years I've been wanting some coach / youtube channel to do a municipal bunker tutorial It's like hitting out of hard dirt. And after it rains, it's mud 😂

    @@Tom_Swift for very firm bunkers with less sand, you have to take a wedge with less bounce and get very steep.

    My trick to being better in the sand is to play courses that don't have concrete for bunkers.......

    low bounce wedge, or drop your hands / the heel if the wedge which lowers bounce more and allows it to dig. practice it to get the feel of how hard u need to swing for different distances

    Stay committed to the shot! By that I mean keep the body down through the contact with the ball and only release the upper body once you've completely swung through the ball. I release too early to and rush into my follow through to avoid getting stuck too far back and thin it like this as well. Hope this helps!

    Just use the toe of the club, keeping the heel or hosel out of the sand. The hosel is what catches the sand. But still use a steep swing, hitting the sand behind the ball. Try it. It works like magic for me.

    The conventional wisdom is that opening the face helps golfers avoid the club digging into the sand rather than gliding through it. 😊

    just hit the slice method, it's easy as. And you dont have to squat low perfectly and look like a fool. Clubs are getting too easy - should have brought in standardisation a long time ago for the pro regarding wedges and lofts.

    That’s fine if the bunkers on your course actually have sand. The muni courses many of us play have a thin layer of sandy dirt on top of hardpan. Try playing out of these with an open club face or worse yet a wedge with lots of bounce.
