Greenside Splash Bunker Shot
Open / wide stance - leaned left
Weight on inside of left foot
Open clubface
Grip handle after opening CF
Lower posture – centered swing
Good speed – no sway or rise
DS: Turn pelvis – “drag” CH
Enter sand behind ball
Impact: left wrist cupped
Bounce “splashes” sand
CF is angled like a snow plow
Accelerate thru shot
Follow-thru & maintain speed
CF facing skyward in FT
Finish: weight fully on left leg
Shaft pointing to target

...feel a lag of the clubface thru impact (like a tennis racket lagging the hand)

Try this: post impact, let left arm chicken wing a bit to keep clubface square to target

at top of BS, left wrist is fully cupped ...this gets bounce to enter sand (not leading edge)

key to the thump sound (and effective use of the bounce) is to SHALLOW the swing in DS

Clubface should be open as much as 45* ...but the body can be just slightly open ...Eric Cogorno

go with a short BS and cupped wrist ...shallow the swing plane and accelerate thru sand with a flipped left wrist and a right hand throwing motion ...Thru impact, do not let handle get fwd of CH ('cos it'll move bottom of swing fwd and you'll skull ball ) ...CH should exit impact going down the line (not pulled left) ...FT should be much longer than the BS ...keep left leg flexed ..do not straighten (even in the FT)

...aggressively turn hips to target in the DS...hips should face forward before impact ...

... feel a "sit down" posture with a wide base

you already know you must have an open CF at address ...but at impact, try to square the face to the ball ....achieves a shallow divot and adds spin to the ball

key to get the shaft leaned towards the pelvis in the same shallow angle as at address ...also do not use forward lean as used in a basic iron shot from fairway
