Default Thanks But

Thanks for the Justin Rose Video.........he still went vertical with the shaft...(actually slightly past but thats okay, he just sat deeper....and he had the face slightly open.........there is very little new in hitting a green side bunker shot,
sand is sand whether its from the 60's or the 2,000's, its all about angles

and if taught correctly can only take 10-15 minutes to accomplish and make you a good bunker player

Gary Player was a great bunker player, in a different time. He used a technique that relied on endless practice and huge talent. He had clubs designed before we had high-speed video, that showed exactly what happens when a club enters the sand.

Justine Rose is generally considered one of the 2 or 3 best bunker players in the world.

No "vertical shaft", the opposite. No "open club face". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVGPdufXXIc


I'll concede that Luke Donald, also considered one of the best bunker players of the last 25 years, does use an open club face and more hands. Access Denied
