Nathalie Filler Sheehan eliminates your fear of short-sided bunker shots by introducing you to the butterfly grip. Simply alter your grip slightly to help the ball launch higher and stop more quickly from the sand.

thanks for the nice video. I would like to see you or someone do a bunker shot video on bunkers that have primarily "hard pan". Many of us golfers play on muni's that often don't have much sand, sometimes only about a half inch or so above the hard ground. Its a challenging shot. Basically I take a shorter swing and try to clip it out, not a blast out. Another problem is that some of our bunkers are that thin, some have more sand.
This was a great tip for me. Believe it or not in my younger days my everyday grip was almost this for all shots. Shooting single digit I wanted to get even better so took lessons and was messsed up for 20 years. Now I say this and thought "it's legal" for me to use this grip. So I'm using it in the sand again and also for some shots over bunkers or lobs. THANKS for giving me an excuse to use what comes naturally.... I'm back to being a good bunker player again
This tip was a game changer for me! My confidence - so important in bunker play - is through the roof. Thanks so much!!
How open do you want to have the club face? Thank you.
I will give this a try the next time I go to my practice facility!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video tip!
You did not mention where to place the ball in your stance, how far to hit behind the ball or how far left of target one needs to aim. What do you think?
What’s a good tip if the sand is wet under the surface?
great advice REALLY WORKS!!!!
Great tip. Are you also placing the ball more forward in your stance?
Great tip! I will definitely try this in practice and bring to the course.
