The real reason you are fighting against the cover lens – and how to fix it
If you want to succeed from Greenside Bunkers, you must use the right amount of sand. One of the most common faults amateurs create in green space bunkers is the sand that goes into the back of the ball too far – resulting in shooting fat people in fluffy conditions, or skulls shot out of a solid lie.
This is a frustrating (usually inevitable) mistake as many amateurs unconsciously make the setup adjustments, encouraging them to hang from the swing, causing them to hit the sand too early. These changes include: Playing forward, swaying your shoulders from your target (like you swing for the driver), and focusing their eyes behind the ball.
This forces the player to swing, sliding his lower body forward and leaning his upper body backward away from the target. result? A club head that goes into the sand too early, pour the ball into the bunker or send it to the green.
But with just four set-up tweaks and a simple swing key, you can build a solid foundation and learn to drive the ball to maintain consistent impact position every time. Let’s break them down.
Setting key for strength strike from bunker
1. Expand your stance, shoulder level
The wide pose makes it easier on the hinge of the hips, creating a neutral spinal corner and helping the shoulders feel ground level.
2. The ball position in the middle of the left chest
Even playing the ball on the logo on the shirt will greatly increase your chances of hitting the sand in place.
3. Toe line close target
Going your foot slightly to the right at the target (for right-handed players) makes a spin focus easier to get. This adjustment will also help eliminate the low-body slide and prevent upper body hanging.
4. Put your eyes on the top of the ball
If you tend to get into the sand too early, finding a dent directly on the top of the ball to focus on will help you get into the sand at the right time.
“Top the medicine ball”
When sagging, try to extend your leading leg upwards. This will help you use vertical forces to prevent your legs from sliding or buckling when swinging.
If you try to feel your chest spinning towards your target, imagine you throwing a medicine ball on the wall. This visual effect should help you turn your upper body around and help you splash it onto the green.
