i get confused about which club to use in the bunkers. most often i use my 60 degree wedge, but often come up short or don't get out at all. when i use my 56 degree i don't get the height i need to get out. bunkers are a pain for me

What would be the best wedge to use in the bunkers and bounce? Also, what would you recommend club entry in the sand?

What degree club is the "general rule" for a bunker shot ? What did you use in this video? Thanks, Eric

Your backswing was substantially longer on your 3 different length bunker shots just like your follow through was longer.

?name=D%20D&rounded=true&size=256

2 & 3 looked pretty similar ref fullness of follow thru, just looked like you got more agressive w it?

GREAT tip. Thank you.

What about hard pack sand?

You make it look simple Matt! I wonder if you have info on the club head speed for these three shots, - could it be that the the different follow through lengths represent/are due to increasing club head speed? (it may be easier for me to mentally influence speed rather than follow through extent).
Enjoy your Christmas!
