Welcome to the newest series of Golf.com guidelines – easy way out. With useful tips from key game instructors, you will learn how to hit the most difficult golf shooting in some simple steps.
One -sided bunker shots may seem intimidating, but they are surprisingly easy to execute when you know the right secas and swing keys.
Lucky for you, one of the most reliable coaches of the short game in the game, Golf Top 100 Teacher to see David Armitage, shared his easy steps to follow to navigate these intricate sand shots.
Follow his six keys to one -sided bunker shots and start hitting these with more confidence and accuracy.
1. Expand your attitude
Adding width to your attitude not only helps you get your lowest ground base, but also helps you get the ball faster, which is essential with one -sided sand shots.
2. Weight forward
When you hit one -sided bunker shots, you do not want much side or back movement and on your swing. Getting weight forward adds stability to your base and creates a fixed point to rotate. To get your weight properly, use Armitage tips and move your sternum so that your middle line is above your lead thigh.
3 Open your Clubface
Putting the open face in the sand allows you to add the attic, start the top ball and generate speed, which helps you create rotation.
However, as you open the club depends entirely on the stroke. Ask yourself, how high is the bunker’s edge? Where is the location of the hole? Even knowing if your shot will sit down or on the grain can play a factor in how you open your face. Use your best judgment when calling at your club.
4. Put your hands
“Once I have (open the club), that’s when I catch it,” Armitage says. “Don’t make the bad mistake, which is opening your face with your hands already in the club.”
As you put your hands on the syllable, hold the light of your syllable pressure. This will reduce the tension and help you feel the weight of the club as you swing.
5. Find your ideal entry point and focus on it
Knowing how sand to get from a one -sided stretch to the bunker can be challenging. Take a lot and you lose the spin, and you even risk leaving it in the bunker. But, get very little and your ball goes flying over the green.
As Armitage demonstrates, for one -sided lies, you want your club to enter the sand an inch or two behind the ball. Then, focus on that place as you swing.
6. Keep your speed, shorten the finish
Because these shots are so close to the hole, you may feel uncomfortable to keep your speed by ending the fear of hitting the road on the green. But maintaining your speed is actually essential for the shooting of a short tilt, as the first sand contact slows down the club.
Instead of slowing down your swing, try shortening your follow -up. Armitage explains that an abbreviated conclusion is the best way to get the distance from your goal. Plus, the shorter tracking will increase your rotation and, with enough practice, you will be able to stop these intricate shots in a coin.
