This gets the ball to pop up and out. Thinking that the club actually will make contact with the ball causing it to lift the ball out is what causes all the problems. Doing this strike into the hill and downward will create a crater of sand that is launched out and anything inside that crater will go with it...so if there is a ball in there, that too will go. |
Guess I did exactly the opposite...*lol*
I keep my shoulders parallel to the slope, have the Wedge slightly open, the ball forward in my stance, since it is way above my feet and choke down on the club.
Do I understand right, with shoulders level, I basicly hammer the club into the bunker wall? Well kinda...
There is hardly a follow through with that swing, just brut force in order to move a bucket load of sand?
Thinking about it, it makes sense to me. There is alot of sand pilled up below the ball. I assume that is the reason why I wasn't able to get under the ball with a open face. I tried to be to gentle...
Thanks for help, I'll try that out tomorrow.
