if the club shaft doesn't go vertical from the wrist hinge you are chipping it out...very similar to a pitch shot

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

I disagree there's nothing new. The sand is different and the clubs (& therefore their interaction with the sand) are different.

That said, a "chipping" motion rom a bunker is a fool's errand, yet I see it all the time.

Justin Rose at the "top" (nearly vertical).
