How to Spin Your Bunker Shots

Spin Your Bunker Shots

The key to playing quality bunker shots is your ability to spin the ball. If you are able to spin your bunker shots you will be able to consistently control distance and direction and get the ball closer to the hole.

In this video you will not hear how you must hit two inches behind the ball. I really don’t like that way to play bunker shots as so many players take too much sand with this type of swing and the ball either stays in the bunker or comes out with no spin and rolls off the other side of the green.

PGA Professional Robin Symes demonstrates a transition drill to improve how you start your downswing.

I think most people know by now that the downswing needs to be started from the ground up, where perhaps a little bit of a push into your left foot, the hips lead the shoulders, the shoulders lead the arms, and the arms lead the club head. But, at full speed and in one movement, this can be very difficult to feel for many players.

So, what I ask a lot of my players to do is, in their practice, just hit some shots where you take your backswing and you stop for perhaps three or four seconds and then learn to create speed from this starting position.

Trail Side at Impact

The importance of the Trail Side

Everyone has a certain amount of power and much of it is found on YOUR trail side.

Understanding what your trail side should be doing as you approach impact can improve both the quality of the strike and your ability to control the clubface.
