The 40-Yard Bunker Shot
There may be no tougher shot in golf than the long bunker shot, but as Titleist staff member James Sieckmann demonstrates in this video, there are two solutions. As James explains, on this shot it’s important not to get overactive with the legs and the core (the muscles that are important for power in full swing technique). On bunker shots, the legs need be stable and quiet, creating a solid base for the swing. This allows you to be very precise and consistent with the bottom of the swing and the point at which you contact the sand – a key to escaping bunkers effectively.
So how do you produce sufficient power for a longer bunker shot without using the big muscles of your legs and core? First, James’ preferred option is to use a lower lofted club like a 9-iron. Irons still have bounce when you open the face and when you apply the same force required for a 10-yard shot with a sand wedge, the 9-iron shot will fly 20-25 yards and release the remaining distance to the hole.
If you need to fly the ball farther than that, the degree of difficulty goes up significantly, but as James shows, using a bigger shoulder turn is the key. A bigger turn using a sand wedge provides more power to the shot without jeopardizing good contact with the sand.
There’s no way to ever make the long bunker shot easy, but if you put in some practice time with James’ techniques, you’ll see very acceptable results much more frequently.

Arm Path in the Golf Swing
We all want that perfect looking golf swing that makes us look like we just came straight from the tour!
In today’s video Mike creates a clear picture of how and why the arms work in the golf swing.
Effortless Compression Through Impact
In today’s video Christina Richie from More Pars Golf wants you to have success while blending your backswing and downswing for effortless compression through impact. It’s all about your lean in while rotating through impact.
Your swing style and tendencies play a key role.
How Jack Nicklaus Moved His Hips in the Golf Swing
How you move your hips will determine how consistently you hit the ball. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the greatest golfer of all time to see how he moves and what his body does in the golf swing.
Jack Nicklaus was great at getting his body out of the way of his hands so he could generate more speed in his golf swing.
Lateral Motion – Pros vs Amateurs
In this video Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf looks at the key differences in the way that pro’s and amateurs move the center of the torso and the center of the pelvis throughout the golf swing.
What we have found in our 3D research is that the classic “reverse k” set-up is not something the best players in the world employ. Also, for the professional, during the downswing, the torso remains on top of the pelvis (or even gets in front of the pelvis) until the hands reach around waist high. At this point the high level player pushes hard with the lead side which causes the pelvis to finally shift out in front of the torso.
We believe that over the years for golf instruction (for the sake of simplicity) has taken the static position of impact and tried to employ it in the swing via the reverse K set up and keeping the torso behind the pelvis during the entire motion. The problem with this is that it can cause a severe in-to-out swing direction and a reduction in ground force production as the player is not able to push as hard with his lead side late in the downswing (as it would cause him to topple over).
This has caused countless (better players especially) to struggle with hooking and pushing the ball.
Now we have all seen the chronic slicer who has benefitted from some “reverse k” feeling in their swing especially if they have the upper body well to the left of the pelvis at the top of the swing, but in this video series we are highlighting the lower handicapper amateur who is trying to take their game to the next level.
How To Open Up The Chest Through Impact
Some say you should have the chest facing the ball at impact, others say you should open it up, well which one is it? I can bet you know which one I prefer to see!
Henry and I cover a few factors that you’ll need to really open things up (the chest) and create a more pivot driven motion in the golf swing.
