Five steps to improve the technique bunker

Although hit by a bunker is easy once you learn the basics of posture and attitude, the thought of hitting into a confused Greenside grit many golfers. Improving the technique reduces the fear of the first bunker play and build confidence in your ability to impress.

Assuming that the consistency of sand is similar, and the ball is not connected, the technique to hit a bunker Greenside remains for recording up to 30 meters (27m). The key tothis recording, as I explained in my golf tips, hitting the sand about 1 to 2 cm behind the ball and pulls the sand with the ball forward. For several times the only thing that changes is the length of Swing. Rhythm and tempo are the same.

Here are 5 points that I cover in my golf lessons on technique bunker. You are at the center of my golf lessons, after examining the operation of a wedge and the basics of position and posture.

1. Move Away in ArmsUnison

After an attitude a bit 'open got to resist, the temptation is too strong in the early take-away. Keep your wrists passively as you sweep the club try to rotate the arm and rotate the body to be synchronized. In other words, do the first part of a movement of a piece snack. Also, make sure the clubhead follows the path away from the ball parallel to the tips.

2. Turning and opening

Turn the left arm and wrist, as well as the swing, as if theyLook at a clock. It 's a visual lesson I often use in my golf game to help remember to move. This will open the clubface and maximizes the effect on the bounce sand wedge at impact. Even Start your wrists hinge as part of the club head passes through the right thigh. Keep your head still, rotate your left shoulder under the chin, and back to the finish.

3. Turn to the Top

As you turn the body, you should feel as if the head of the club to showthe sky and cuffs are reinforced. Keep you focused on the head and body of the ball. Swing the club on a superficial level, with good rhythm and tempo, as always. This is a crucial step in any Swing Club.

4. Make the right contacts

Hit the correct point of action is crucial when playing from the sand. I say sand in the students see the golf ball sits on a t-shirt in lieu of, then focus on cutting tee under the ballthat just happens to get in the swing path. Done properly, this move will throw the ball from the bunker with the right amount of sand.

5. Create a controlled explosion

As the club is in decline, you should feel your hands move to the left, pull the ball through impact. Make sure not to cross the right hand to the left and remove the left hip as the club goes through. If the attitude and the clubhead are open enough toBall that flies straight, with a high trajectory.

Of course, the technology for long bunker shots is slightly different. The key with most shots in follow-through. Use a path filled with bunkers long and a short version for quick bunker.

Here are two exercises that I use in golf instruction, students improve their technique bunker:

This exercise will determine or as the sand wedge should really work. He was in a bunker to practice without a ballTake your attitude and mood of many normal bunker down in the sand. The goal is to feel the clubhead through the sand, dig to get into it. After trying a dozen shots, hitting a ball. Find a spot where the ball into the ground and then go for it. Repeat the exercise until you feel comfortable with the thud of the wedge through the sand.

Focus or in a place where the clubhead meets the attention where it comes out, what can be distracting for a relaxingshot. The "two lines" Exercise helps eliminate the tendency to lose concentration. He was in a bunker and take your normal bunker attitude. Draw two lines in the sand about 6-7 inches away. The lines represent the length of sand, you should carve under the ball. Line up several balls between the two lines met. The clubhead should enter the sand, where they form the first line and where the second line.

Practice these exercises, while the 5 points in mindIt helps to improve the technique bunker. As you most comfortable with hitting from the bunker, you increase your self-confidence. And, as I often tell my students, leads to better play and lower golf handicaps.
