The Bunker Play Secret For Professional Consistency
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2023
- There is a well known secret to hitting consistent green side bunker shots but most instructors don’t include it in their teaching. Well @The Forgotten Golfer has no fear and discusses a key to strong bunker play that Gary Player, Annika Sorenstam, Lydia Ko and Rory Mcllroy (to name a few) already know. And he asks you the beginner or avid golfer to join the party. Take the fear out of your bunker play by using your hands correctly so the club will easily use its bounce and slide through the sand easily for the most successful and controllable bunker shots.
Many thanks for the tip regarding the grip change. That makes bunker play way easier👍.
Right on Tony. My old school teacher had us kids rolling are lead wrist rolling the club open and unrolling our
lead wrist and forearm to square while we rotated our hips though impact. I've always been a good sand player.
This works on all shots but I don't think this is taught anymore. Thanks for the lesson. I sill use my Ben Hogan
copper Sandy Andy.
Actually, I have heard this once before. Henrik Stenson was on the Golf Channel on an instructional show with either Michael Breed or Martin Hall. I cannot remember which it was. Stenson explained that you have to imagine that there is a scoop of sand on the face of your wedge at setup. When you take the club back, cup your left wrist so that sand would stay on the face as long as possible. "Lose the sand, lose the bounce."
Wow that’s very cool. From my experience very few folks talk about it.
Cupping the lead wrist allows you to slap the back of the club face, yes, back of face into the sand behind the ball on normal sand shots.
Thank you Mr. Tony.
Tony, pure golf gold. Thanks.
Tony, games coming on thanks to you. Still having bunker problems. Going back Thurs to try again. Thanks ❤
Good tip Tony I'm playing my first round of 18 this year on Monday, hopefully I don't wind up in the sand but if I do I'll let you know how it goes, thanks for the videos keep em coming I need all the help I can get
You can practice the move on the grass if no practice bunker is available
Will try on the grass ⛳️
YOUR THE MAN TONY !!! ITS WORKING
Right? Makes sand play so much easier!
Tony, Thanks for telling us about your bunker play secret. Would you alter your method if the green side bunker had a hard surface such as wet sand, packed down sand, or a little amount of sand?
I think it will help a lot of people. BTW that practice bunker was full of rocks… But you got the point of it…
It’s much harder to use the bounce of your sand wedge when the trap is hard or the sand is packed (like from rain). It’s better to play the ball back further in your stance and only slightly open the club face-almost square.
Thanks Tony...always appreciate your vids! When people say "cupping", is that just letting the wrists fully break at the top of your back swing?
No - cupping means your wrist and your hand are not flat together- there is a curve between the top of your hand and wrist - if you hold your left hand out it’s bent to the left of your wrist- check out Freddie Couples chipping on RUclips- he explains it
@@TheForgottenGolfer Thanks a ton!
Tony, does it matter where the ball is in your stance? Hard to tell with the camera angle but your hands looked ahead of the ball at address. The whole swing looks light and relaxed and I’ll try it tomorrow.
Towards the front - this trap had very little sand so the ball was played slightly more back than usual
Is it the same technique for harder/wet sand as well or is this only for fluffy bunkers? Thanks
Face more open -- fluffy Face not open - wet heavy
@@TheForgottenGolferthanks but are both done with same cupped left wrist?
@@edogaktop yes- RUclips Gary Player in a bunker--and see the different situations he hits out of with a very cupped wrist
@@TheForgottenGolfer thanks for the reply. Definitely will check that out
Could the same not be achieved by opening the face at address (grip)? Changing the wrist flexion seems like it would be more difficult for most amateurs. Then if they take that cupped wrist into their full swing? Bye bye
You’re right-I want my viewers to try it several ways-Gary Player (the best trap player) first makes his left hand much stronger. Freddie Couples actually makes his left hand weaker before cupping. There are always many roads to Rome. For many this will be a game changer
I always opened my club face, but like many players wasn’t cupping the wrist--I thought I’d shank it if I cupped it.
I’ve just read a book by Daniel Grieve (3 releases) he stresses that the full swing and the chipping game are two different games. You’re right keeping a cupped wrist in your full swing sure wouldn’t be pretty, although I do use a slightly cupped wrist to achieve a nice little fade when I need one.
