I am constantly hitting bunker shots that spin a ton but never get high and way short of my target landing spot.... Please Advise?!

Well explained, I believe that is my problem to a "T" and i believe a lot of it is from back issues that stop my torso turn to protect my back hence leaving me with a mostly arm swing and in consistent ball contact.

Classic instruction, the only thing /martin Chuck added a few years ago was add a bit of lift at the end to finish. LH Tom

I push the ball to the right when I do this. Any idea why?

Thank you for simplifying. Help me with better shoulder turn without all the effort. Watched your video and first round out shot 84. I am a 15 handicap. Thank you Erica

I lift weights. So having tension is the biggest problem for me on the course. Tried pausing with deep breaths already to calm down. But the tension even makes my arms go faster than my frame. Causing chicken wings with every club in the bag. Don't know if it can be helped.

This is a great drill! I'm making great contact with my irons using this relaxed arms / body engine idea.
