Greetings from Canada. Thanks for the great video Julian. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong until you called it. My swing was flat and I was blading it every time. As soon as I made it a more veritcal swing, hinging my wrists and letting gravity do the rest, I just got back from the pactice facility and went through an entire bucket of balls, landed almost every ball on the green and was even able to play around with the height of the shot. THANK YOU! Dan.
Excellent demonstration Julian on hitting a short sided bunker shot! This is one of the best recommendations and demonstrations that I have seen! I am going to archive this for future reference! Good Job Julian!
@@JulianMellor Julian! I was in four bunkers today and I got out of all of them with no problem, I used the technique you demonstrated and it was spot on! Thank You!
Julian, I hope all is well. Great video as always. I used your method today twice and it worked perfectly Thank you for keeping it simple with lessons/tips that work. Cheers Dom
Excellent ,very clear, easy to follow advice which I follow. If there is very little sand in the bunker I use my Alien lob wedge which can be used in hard, dry bunkers. Julian's advice is great for bunkers with sufficient sand .
Thanks Julian, another interesting video, but contrary to your earlier video where you said not to open the club face and stand square to target… PS: which club did you use in this video?
Hi Paul, Because this is a specialist shot it requires a specialist set up and action. The swing technique is no different it’s just a change of club face and body position. The club I use is a 60° but by the time I’m hitting the golf ball it’s around 80° of loft which is required to play a high soft shot that stops very quickly.
Another good bit of information.....got any ideas on how to keep wrist set in full swing from causing the club face to open so much that it ends up pointing right (right handier) at impact and a perfect straight shot 10, 20 yards right of target? Even in the single plane swing I get this too often...
Julian, I am confused regarding the open position of your feet and club face. As a previous question from another golfer, this is contrary to the previous video where you recommend a stance parallel to target line and a normal neutral club face position. Are you suggesting different techniques for different types of bunkers?
This is the same swing technique but because you have to increase the loft of your club it points to the right if you are right handed, so you have to turn your body to the left so that it points back at target. The swing is then simply up and down following your body line. I only ever use this technique when I have to play a high short shot.

Awesome, Dan
Let’s catch up soon 👍
Great tip from a great coach.........ProperGolfing is the way to go
Enjoy practicing this, Matt

Thank you, John. It’s important to understand the setup so that the swing can be simplified.

It’s cool isn’t it, Dom
I used this yesterday. It worked very well, just have to remember to follow through with some speed.
Pleased you’ve found it helpful, Rick
Great video Juli. Thanks
Great, thank you 🙏

Thanks Alan, really difficult to play this shot with little sand under the ball, you’d have to use a special club for sure
Very good instructions. Thanks
Pleased it’s helped you 👍
Thanks Julian 🤞🤞👏👏

thanks sounds possibility my problem.....
Great video
Hope it helps, Dennis
Geary Player always said a sand shot should be like “striking a match”; you must accelerate across the surface (sand) for the match to light.
I like that thought
our course bunkers have a thin layer of sand over a hard base. Club bounces ?
I do say that you need a good lie. Not possible to play off hard lie
So different from a previous video on sand play
Technique is the same but the set up is totally different which is required to play this specialist shot, Jack
