Instructors Michelle Winkler

If you’re someone who hits an occasional shank out of the bunker, use Pete Cowen’s signature butterfly grip to swing through the sand, through the ball, and get out easy.

Nice Swing!

Thank you. My bunkers up in Canada are heavy sand and this has really helped me to get out of them

The word processor changed the word strike to strict.

I appreciate what you're saying and yes it is very helpful but. I would suggest that may of my fellow amateurs have the setup with the housel down well below the toe of the club. Therefore, the housel strict the sand first and turns the club. Your recommendation doesn't address the placement of the club. If the club isn't level or very slightly toe down the grip would correct the problem. I've tried. In fact because of the weaker grip it can increase the problem. I would suggest you need to add the plan or the lie of the club to the recommendation. Thank you.

Thank you, Michelle for the butterfly grip tip. Is it this tip only for bunkershots or can it be used for other situations as well.

Is this the same concept when shanking occurs on other iron shots outside of the bunker?
