Clay Ballard
Clay Ballard demonstrates how to grip the club properly so that the clubface is set up perfectly for a bunker shot. Add in a little extra speed to your swing and start hitting high bunker shots that stop quickly like you see the pros hit.

Daily Video Tips
Clay, I loved this tip. My typical bunker shot is either a chunk which leaves it in the bunker or a skull which flies over the green. I'll try this at the range tomorrow and can't wait to see the improved results. Thanks!
Clays the best!
What about when the bunker is hard pan with very little sand as is often seen in Arizona at the more affordable courses?
How do align your shot with your face open? Do you line as if square or according to the leading edge once open? I want to know where that bad boy is headed.
“How do you align…” sorry about the typo.
Can you help us with a drill or a mind picture on how to consistently hit behind the ball. I've done what you have recommended my 50+ years of golf and my biggest inconsistency is where I impact the sand behind the golf ball.
Does this apply to irons too?
