Daily Video Tips
Not for nuthin', but this advice is almost entirely contrary to the advice given in the "Lead Knee Bunker Key" video that Matt Collis provided. Bit confusing. What are the playing circumstances that dictate whether to use one technique vs. the other?
Like members below I would like to know how far behind to hit it, you line up the ball more at the midpoint between your legs so I suspect you are hitting at least an inch or two behind it? Thank you !
How far do I hit behind the ball and how deep?
You don't mention in the tip how far behind the ball the club should enter the sand.
Is the best aiming point about an inch behind the ball, or directly under the ball?
What about bunker shots from bunkers with sand that is not particularly soft? Here in the Northeast at public courses, we rarely see the nice, white soft stuff. What adjustments should I make. And what about bunker shots in wet sand? Any tips you could offer would be appreciated.
