Bunker Technique – Shallow not Steep

Mr. Short game has a new approach to get your bunker game back in shape. <br />

Mr. Short Game has a new Bunker Technique – Shallow not Steep to get your bunker game back in shape.

Conventional teaching generally has you take an open stance with an open club face and swing along the target line. This typically results in a steep attack angle, which doesn’t always work well in soft sand.

Bunker Technique – Shallow not Steep

Instead of a steep attack angle, why not use a shallow attack angle. To ingrain this new feeling, we’ll first practice the wrong technique to get the right result.

    Assuming neutral grip …

    Ball position with changed stance:
    – closed / 100 balls
    – square / thereafter

    Required stance/ swing changes due to sand:
    – firm
    – soft

    Unclear about ball position……forward (off the left foot) or in the middle of your stance?

    Matt-I have had reasonable results this year out of greenside bunkers UNLESS it is a longer shot to other side of large green.should these suggestions in the video help that?Also,does the sand consistency merit consideration?

    With my old steep angle of attack I was barely getting out of bunkers leaving 30 footers. Mr. Short Game”s shallow technique has significantly improved my bunker game. More rollout gets me closer to the hole. For longer shots I can even club down to a 50 degree and get it out. (would never use a 50 degree before with old swing) Love Mr. Shorts Game’s energy as well as his humor.

    My friends are starting to call me Mr. Short Game…now if the MSG Hats could be back in stock. Can’t find them anywhere.

    That’s the technique taught for years by former England golf coach Gary Smith. Calls it the Linear system. Very effective too

    ok I see what you are doing. Any thoughts about bunkers with ‘thin sand’. When I hit these I have real issues with the club bouncing off the sand and then into the ball. Very dangerous for others around the green. Thanks

    Solid info except he kept saying to swing on target line when he meant body line. Target line is line from ball to target. Otherwise, great info to fixing a steep bunker swing.
