    Love the bunker tips! Wide stance and accelerate through the ball as well as quiet hands. I got out of all 4 bunkers the other day thanks to your tips with no practice. Just execution of your tips. Now I hit from one to another because of a sidehill lie but that can be fixed with setup. Love the content!

    You are so right Matt. I am so obsessed with cupping my wrist and how open the face looks in the backswing that it messes me up a lot. I'll try this and I already know it is going to free me up for better bunker shots. Thanks.

    I struggled a few rounds ago getting out of the sand and realized I jut don’t have any kind of technique for it so went to my dude Mr. Short game ! After this video I went out and did much better out of the sand and actually helped me tie my best round ever ! I still have to adjust for distance but u definitely helped me get out the beach on first attempts ! U da man 👊🏼

    Like the simplicity of your explanation. Will try these tips. Wide stance with weight forward, ball position forward center, hands even with club lean or slightly behind (not ahead), face slightly open, not a huge back swing, hinge club but be mindful of not using too much hand or wrist motion.

    Matt,
    Thanks for the great video bro!
    Could you please cover the technique for hitting out of hard packed sand vs the plush sand trap you use in this video? The technique you show here works great for me in traps with plenty of sand 👍but when there's little to no sand, this technique causes problems.

    • @EricB-somejibberish

    • @zacharymilos392
      @zacharymilos392 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm not a pro but I've been told by my coach the only adjustment you need to make is swing the club a little slower and don't take as much sand. I tend to move the ball back in my stance relative to the soft sand, but I still open the face just a touch. I'm sure this isn't a hard and fast rule but it's worked for me. I actually find firm sand easier to hit off of than soft sand because it's really hard to leave the ball in the bunker when its firm. I've fatted soft sand shots and left them in bunkers more times than I'd like to admit...

    • @robertcunningham5363
      @robertcunningham5363 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. Hard bunkers are quite common in Arizona, especially at the muni courses. Also, a downhill lie in the sand would be helpful, at least to touch on what the recommendation would be.

  • @briantwil1
    @briantwil1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video Matt. I was hinging a lot, so I'll try calming that down. My real problem is bunker shots from maybe 30-40 yards to the pin. Maybe someday you could give us a video about that. Thanks for your videos. Very easy to learn from!

    • @henryschumann442
      @henryschumann442 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      For distance control, use the same technique and swing speed as Matt is advocating but switch clubs. 60 degree for 10 yd shot, SW for 20 yd shot, gap wedge for 30 yds and PW for 40 yds

  • @richardluhm2207
    @richardluhm2207 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Matt, I love bunker shots but I’m not very consistent. There’s a pretty big difference in your instruction on blade position on bunker shots from this video and the one a year before this. You state in the first one to open the face “completely” where the ball will sit on the face. In this one you say to open open slightly, one little notch, not too much. Did something change your mind or are there variables you’re not telling us?

  • @j1238066
    @j1238066 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm good if the bunker has sufficient sand, but many courses have VERY LITTLE SAND in their bunkers it's hard pan with 1/8" of sand so I really struggled to get the ball up & out 😩 need to get it up 3' but I'll hit it up 1' so stays in the green side bunker😡 please could you do a video on those conditions

  • @arth4570
    @arth4570 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I should use my pitching swing and hinge my wrist only to keep my arms from moving around? then come back more aggressive on the down swing?

  • @Lovetotravelhalal
    @Lovetotravelhalal 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When we open the club, the club then facing more to the right. Is it normal? Or we have to adjust the address little bit to the left of the pin? Thanks Matt

  • @dereksansone8977
    @dereksansone8977 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How do you quiet your roll with your left hand but still manage to avoid slicing? I just had three lessons at a PGA store in Dallas where they worked on my slice by telling me about a stronger grip combined with a left wrist or left knuckle roll.
    I’ve been hooking it to break my slice habit, and now I’m starting to adjust some things to straighten it out. But when you talk about reducing that wrist role how do you avoid bad aim?

  • @peterseibold7633
    @peterseibold7633 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not that I'm a pro, ...but what I do is Make Sure your shoulders match the tilt of the hill. Match the angle of the hill with your shoulders and then swing normally.

    Still, as a beginner, it gets confusing. If you watch Paul Wilson's Bunker Shots video, he does everything opposite of Mr. Short Game. Both are great teachers/golfers. I guess I will have to try both methods out and see what works for me.

    In one of your sand shot videos you say don't open the club face hardly at all and in a second one you say to really open it up a lot. I have tried both your suggestions and found the really open club face works the best. Why is their conflicting advice Matt?

    I like the simplicity of what you teach here but am confused about one thing. In your May 15 2019 bunker video you tell us to open the face a great deal "really open the door" and here 4 months later you say "open it just a notch". What is best???

    • @CK-oo1sx
      @CK-oo1sx 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know if you are doing this or not but when you are hitting in the bunker you never actually want to hit the ball. You actually want to hit under the ball and use the sand to pop it up

  • @frankcanzanella6753
    @frankcanzanella6753 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve heard the idea of saying a word as the putt is stroked. The idea being to not let the conscious mind over play the shot. I got around to commenting that you need a psychiatrist to learn how to putt. Then I add libbed that if I miss a putt it would be a Freudian slip. Some passenger gave me a like and said he would use the joke on his wife.

    • @andreww8678
      @andreww8678 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah on the “#1 Problem with Sand Shots” vid it’s the main problem he cites. Clubface not open enough. On this one it’s to only open it a touch. Personally, I find opening it more works a lot better. Just curious why Matt had differing opinions between these two videos.

    • @mjyoung9112
      @mjyoung9112 ปีที่แล้ว

      @andreww8678 I can't get out of bunkers even when I just pick it up and throw it, it still comes back lol
