This Simple Bunker Move Fixes THIN Sand Shots

Kerrod Gray demonstrates how to eliminate bladed and thin bunker shots caused by pulling the club handle around the body. By feeling like you throw the clubhead straight down into the sand and finish high above your head, you prevent arm bunching and hit clean, consistent sand shots.

• Avoid pulling the handle around your body, which causes bunched arms and bladed shots.
• Set up with ball position forward in your stance.
• Feel like you are throwing the clubhead down into the sand from the top of the swing.
• Ensure the clubhead finishes above your head in the follow-through to maintain full extension.
