    I can’t tell you how many times that I have had the ball hit my club again during the release out of a trap. The TC Chen shot haunts me constantly and when I am getting ready to hit a sand shot, I end up following through with a low shot trying to keep the club down to not meet up with the ball mid-air. Can you tell e what is causing this?

    Rick I just viewed your buner fundamental video lesson where you describe the line drill. Question: When you are practicing the one handed shot through the the two lines. When you set up for that practice shot how open is the club face? Is it laid wide open, or is open to where only the bounce of the club is approaching the sand? Also, what about the club angle and the hand position is the shaft point ing to your midsection and are your hands forward of center at address? Thanks Joe
