Very clever! I only use higher bounce wedges so have to hit down on it out of firm traps, which helps.. but the heel first technique you mentioned gives it that much needed higher ball flight. Thanks!
Best tip I’ve seen…taking the heel of the club into the sand first… oh how I’ve struggled with hard sand; most city courses do not have very much sand therefore they are usually hard pan
Excellent video on hard or compacted bunkers shots Glen! Since I play publinx courses, sand maintenance is not a priority; so, I find myself hitting a lot of these kind of shots. I do use the sand wedge as you suggested and PW or nine iron for longer shots. I'll definitely instill this into my subconscious for later retrieval.
Played on a course with hard compacted sand. Was doing well until I hit my first bunker on the 16th. I’d never faced one and was clueless. The squared face makes perfect sense. Wish I thought of that when I was playing.
I've developed a similar type shot as we have alot of wet bunkers in ireland. I lay it open. Lower my hands to get the loft pointing at the target and also have some shaft lean. Throw the heel into the sand. My wide sole k grind vokey kicks into play and lofts the ball out high and soft.
OzCats Yes Joe. I normally place the ball just forward in my stance for bunker shots, or opposite my heart. It is definitely further away from me. Thanks for watching.

Sounds like you have the shot down pat Gary. Thank you for subscribing.
You didn’t teach me that during our bunker lesson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep the vids coming glen.
🤣😂 We haven’t had many wet days this year! Next time Bally! Thanks mate.
Hey Glen, Thanks for the video just a question, ball position for these shots? The same for a normal bunker shot?
Cheers
Joe
