Chris Ryan demonstrates how to escape bunkers with height and control by correcting a common 'dragging the handle' error. He instructs the golfer to widen their stance, shift weight to the left, and use a 'stop the grip' feel to allow the clubhead to release past the hands through impact.
Avoid 'dragging the handle' as it reduces clubhead speed and height.
Widen your stance with the right foot and keep weight shifted toward the lead side.
Feel like the grip stops at the ball so the clubhead can accelerate past it.
Increasing clubhead speed at the bottom of the arc is essential for generating launch height.
