I am also having problems in softer sand. I have usually been very good out of all kinds of sand, obviously coarse and wet sand are easier to hit out of. I am a 7 handicap and it is really frustrating me. I am lefty so as I describe things remember to convert them to righty. I have the correct equipment. I have a 60 degree and 56 degree high bounce sand wedges (Cleveland CG10) I also have lower bounce wedges as well for wet and coarse conditions.. When I hit out of soft sand, I typically play the ball way up front, open stance and open club face. I attempt to contact the ball maybe 2 inches behind the ball (depending on the length of the greenside shot) swinging across on my stance line keeping the clubface open the whole way (so it is pointing skyward). However, more times than not, the last few weeks, I am hitting the ball hard left on a line. I almost feel like I am somehow blading the ball. I had a bit more success (not much though) when I accentuated a very high abrupt backswing and then an abrupt downswing (like a V rather than a U shaped shot). I have hit some better shots, but I have gone from being a very confident bunker player to very unsure of myself. Any rx would be appreciated.
