This "Tip from the Pro" brought to you by Golf University the world's premier golf improvement program
Looking dad's spin to your bunker shots
Here., I'm gonna show you a couple of things that'll help
In this instance. I need to
Fly it up onto the sort of top deck there
But make sure I put a little bit of spin on it. So it doesn't go over the back of the green
When adding spin to bunker shots, you've got to take into account the life the balls sitting down
It's not going to spin
if you're using a distance golf ball
It's not going to spin you need to make sure that you've got the right equipment
That being a ball that's designed for spin
And then from there you go look at whether or not it's a high percentage shot through the hit
if I had a lot more green to work with I wouldn't be looking to add spin to it because it's not necessary
and with increasing spin there's a little bit of increased risk
What I'm increasing the spin
I need to make sure that I'm trying to shallow out the club head
Through impact that means trying to get a little bit more bounce through here and a little bit more scared
And therefore I'm gonna use a little bit more wrist action for that to happen
There's a big risk
If you tilt out of it that you are going to thin the golf ball and knife it over the back
So going back to our basics of setup making sure that we're prepared to keep
Turning over tilting is extremely important
So I take my setup
I'm gonna open the clubface just a little bit more. I'm gonna look at about 1:30
Everything else the same, but I'm just going to be a little quicker with my hand action
Through impact. Let's give it a go
You can see there that a little bit risky up I've been part of the spin that I was looking for
Be sure to practice this first
Don't just go out onto the course and try to put it into practice
As I said there is a risk involved and with that as well
Look at experimenting with your handle positions to see if you can add a little spin or take off a little spin
So plenty of practice before taking into the course.
