Key Moments
Take it to the range
- 1Set up for a chip and run with an 8-iron, hands down the grip, and execute a 'release one' shot.
- 2For a low-flighted spin shot, position ball on right toe with significant shaft lean at impact.
- 3For intermediate bunker shots, focus on keeping your chest turning, releasing grip to belt buckle.
- 4For advanced bunker shots, sit lower, hinge wrists more, stay narrow, and feel club in holster.
- 5From awkward rough, position ball back, hands forward, and hinge down steeply into the ball.
