For years golfers have tried everything to get the ball out of the bunker. The problem is one of the things they are trying to do is holding them back. A long time ago I figured out this one thing and stopped telling people to do it. Once I did I could literally get people hitting perfect bunkers shots instantly.
I know you've heard it all and probably tried it all. Well, you certainly haven't tried this. Once you do you will get every ball out the bunker which will lower your scores.

Tip Link: • HOW TO HIT PERFECT BUN... - Sport
I have been awful from the sand for my entire life. I've watched this video a handful of times recently, and it seems so simple. This past weekend, was playing in a scramble and we found ourselves in a greenside bunker. I went through these steps in my head, and hit the absolute best bunker shot I've ever hit. Thank you so much Paul!!!
That's great. Great feeling when you get them out. Stay focused and keep working on it as I suggest then you will get them all out.
For long bunker shots I use yr technique with pitching wedge….very good result. Thank you.
You can do that. Just be careful not to dig in too deep.
I don't often go in bunkers but, last Wednesday I went in 3 and.......out in one, each time. Because of your observation with the feet already giving me my depth (that's the key 🔑 literally) I hit a normal shot but, with an open face and bingo! Normally I'm digging holes and out in 4-5 shots, trying to replicate a Tiger Woods sand shot. Thank you from Australia 👍👍👍👍👍😁
This absolutely works. Open/open/dig in/swing. Great lesson. Would love to see more short game lessons Paul. Thanks.
Thanks. I will post more short game tips in the future.
This tip is the reason I follow this individual on all aspects of the golf swing. It will take patience, work and commitment. I have played golf for over 49 years. I am a believer that after 3 years of golf you will never get better unless you make changes. Paul Wilson took me from a terrible sand player. Absolutely no confidence in the sand. I would hope the lie was good enough to putt it out. I now feel like a 4 handicap player out of the sand. This tip works. It is one of his strongest instruction videos.
Thanks so much. So glad you tried it and improved. Bunker shots are a vital part of playing good golf. If you can get it out it takes pressure off your long game because you don't care if you hit it into the bunker or not. They are very easy shots to hit. Just have to know how to do it which I explain in this tip. Keep up the good work. Let's get you to a 4 hdcp with your whole game.
The way Paul talks...'like this is so simple people how can you not get this'. I love it.
No doubt. Got to give people hope. Make it complicated they will never get it.
Thank you. This tip saved me 4 strokes today. I struggled with sand shots for years and this really works.
Glad it helped! Think of how great it will be if you can get out of bunkers every time. Great feeling.
Paul, this is just like all of your other lessons - easy to understand, easy to execute, and fun to watch the great results. Thanks, it is a great tip.
Glad to hear it! Thanks.
Tried your tip today Paul. I visited 2 bunkers today, and much to my surprise, I got out first time both times!!! Felt superb, the simplicity was brilliant!!! Taken away myriad swing thoughts and fear over many years, thanks ever so much
Nice work! It is so simple but effective. This is a big part of the game so now you can get it out it will give you confidence for the rest of your game.
This really works, Paul! Thank you very much! I bucket of balls in my bunker practice... I didn't miss a single shot using your technique! Amazing! I will share my practice at the sand in my youtube channel too... Thank you again Paul!
Great to hear. Bunker shots are so easy once you know what to do. Glad you got it. This will make a big difference in your game.
I used to have one of those different swings in sand until I watched this video over a year ago. Paul says to use the same swing, and the main characteristic of that swing is written on his visor - Stay Loose. Sand is completely unforgiving with tension. A good body turn with relaxed arms lets the bounce of the wedge do exactly what it was designed to do. Watch the tour pros when they hit out of bunkers. They move like a cooked pasta noodle.
Thanks, Paul. You're the best.
For sure. You should be loose. Being tight and trying to hammer it is not a good idea on any shot. The less you use your arms, them more you will use your body which is what I want.
What a great tip, Paul! On a golf swing that's not in a bunker, many teachers emphasize using the hips to power the swing. Focusing on this over the past several years has dramatically improved my game. But I still struggle in bunkers. I carefully looked at scores of videos on hitting out of bunkers and not even one other teacher talked about using the hips for power. Not knowing any better, I used my hands and arms solely to provide that power--and it doesn't work. Now that you have emphasized using your normal swing (i.e., the hips provide the power) I promise I will never again use my hands to make the swing. I'll let you know how things work out.
Glad you liked it. My technique will get you out in minutes. Been doing this for a long time with thousands of students. Let me know how you do.
Thank you Paul. I Love your coaching styles. It helps me a lot. The drill you show how to relax wrists is helping me get rid of my shoulder pain. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎
Great to hear! You should be playing plain free in the near future.
Great tip Paul. Haven’t left a ball in the bunker since I watched your video. You totally uncomplicated the bunker shot. Thanks.
Very good. These shots are so simple. Hope the doubters are reading this.
This is a game changer for me. I've always been taught to slam the sand before the ball. This totally works and the best part is that I use the same swing you taught me in "The Body Swing". Thanks for another great tip!!
Happy to help!
This is pure gold thank you Paul
It sure is. I can get people out in minutes. I had a guy who came to me after taking 10 bunker lessons. He came just for a bunker lesson. I got him hitting perfect bunker shots in 10 mins. Previously no one got him out but no one told him to not purposely hit the sand.
Thank you Paul for this excellent lesson. It is about time someone taught us how to execute this difficult shot in golf.
Exactly. I saw another tip that taught people 16 things to get it out. Good luck. Simple is the key. Do it my way you will be out like a pro in no more than 5 mins.
Thanks for the video Paul! Great advice on sand shots that I'm going to try this weekend. If the hole was closer, I assume that "it's (still) my regular swing", but the not as much of a backswing, but my same 'regular swing' and follow through....right?
Thanks. Could open the face more too!
This really works. I struggled with sand shots for years. Since switching to open/open/dig in/swing I am 90%+ getting out of bunkers. Now can try approach shots over bunkers as not afraid of going in bunkers.
I hope the doubters are seeing this. Another one fixed. Good job.
You're a good freakin golf coach.
Wish we had you tube when I was reading Nicklaus books to learn golf.
Thanks s much. I learned from Golf My Way years ago. I still refer back to it every now and again.
Long term struggle getting out of the sand. Saw this video yesterday so tried it in league last night. Three for three getting out and the last two were excellent shots. Great tips.
Excellent. Thanks for posting your success. I hope others see it works and try it. There is not reason people should struggle out of the bunkers.
Almost 69 years old and playing golf since age 13 and after watching your video, I played today and lo and behold, it works great in soft sand. Thank you.
Very good. So glad you found this one. Getting it out of bunkers is a great feeling. It take pressure off your long game too. Stick with it.
Love your teaching... some really new approaches. It is absolutely interesting.
Glad you like it. All of my stuff is tried an tested over 29 years. Fast and easy has been my thought. This is why I say things how I say them. Keep trying it and you will play amazing golf.
I am beyond excited to play this weekend. Your coaching is Brilliant
Thanks Paul. Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks so much. I have a big following in AU for some reason. Maybe one day I will make it there. Stay focused, keep it simple and you will play great.
Great tip! Thanks Paul!
Any time!
I have watched hours of youtube videos. All of the points you make are correct and using your normal swing makes the most sense. All of the other manipulations you mention really are unnecessarily complicating the issue, but continue to be taught thru countless other instructors. Thanks for this tip, it is a winner in my book.
Simple is the key. I figured out how to get people out of the bunker super fast because I don't accept they can't get it out. This is a real trouble spot for most golfers. If they can just get it out every time and onto the green this will save a ton of shots and take their games to a whole new level. Yes, others make it way too complicated. I watched one and counted 16 things they wanted you to do. Good luck. Stick to my 4 and you'll be out in minutes. Keep up the good work and keep getting them out. Once you can get every ball on the green then and only then start going for the pin.
Thanks Paul adding to the list sent to my golf buddy as well thanks for all you do
You're welcome. Thanks for the promo. I appreciate it. Let's get everyone out of bunkers.
Awesome tip! Changed my bunker game instantly. Also, worked for flop shots. I use the same principles but just use my legs (i.e., more knee flexion) to get lower than the ball instead of digging in as you do with the bunker shot. Thanks!
Very good. If that worked for you then keep doing it.
I've always hitting the ball with irons on the toe most the time and it would sometimes what am I doing wrong
Already answered this: czcams.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/video.html
Just to finish the thought. What I found really helpful was two things. One don't focus on hitting 3" behind the ball, focus on the swing after digging into the sand to lower your club path automatically, and focus in your backswing on getting the butt of the club to point at the sand which really forces you to make a full swing at the ball. These two elements really changed my sand game. I switched to this method about a month ago (after watching an earlier Paul video) and as I said I am 90%+ out of the sand now. When I have failed it is typically because the sand is wet so have to think about how to handle that case (or maybe Paul can post a video about it?). Thanks for all your help. I find your presentation method to be clear and easy to understand and apply whereas most youtube golf videos not so clear. Thanks again.
Great. That's works too. I just wanted to make it every more simple.
Brilliant lesson, worked for me immediately!
Very good. I knew it would. Now you can have a lot more fun.
Excellent tip Paul. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thanks. Post your results when you do. Some A-holes are already giving me thumbs down before they even tried it. Idiots. I don't say this stuff if it doesn't work.
Great tip I will definitely try it this weekend. Thanks Paul.
Have fun. Let us know how you do.
Excellent teaching. All the stuff about putting your weight on the front foot just leads to digging. Best bunker instruction I ever saw.
Yeah, follow my tip. You will be hitting amazing bunker shots right away. Let me know how you do.
Thanks Paul for another great/easy tip!…Your my 1st go to guy when I’m struggling or want to improve something in my golf game.🍻
Glad to help. This will save you a ton of shots.
Great video and bunker tips! I was taught to dig my feet in, open the clubface, weight on my front foot, and hit 2-3 inches behind the ball. Some days that worked, but I was too inconsistent. Seldom did I leave a shot in the bunker, but sometimes I would barely get it out. Many times, certainly not as close to the flag as I wanted. I am excited to incorporate your method when I get to the practice area in the next day or two.
Thanks. You stop thinking about hitting behind the ball and it becomes so much easier.
watched yesterday, couldn't wait to get to the range today to test it out, from 40 balls I thinned 3, and that's because I didn't have the club face open, i've been sooo frustrated with bunker practice from last year and this year as I was thinning and shanking every single ball out of Bunker, and I now I know the reason why, I was twisting the clubface to an open positon, I WAS not letting go of the club to create an open face, today I did exactly what paul said AND low and behold 37 out of 40 balls came out of that bunker like they should, I made the mark in the sand, full body turn and hit the ball (or the sand) with the same swing, perfect, i'm a happy man again :-) simple really.
Very good. Bunker shots are so easy yet everyone is trying to make it too complicated. If I taught you a different swing for bunker shots you would have to learn 2 swings. You don't have time to learn 1 swing never mind 2. Now you see you can do it with ease keep at it. Get every ball consistently on the green first. Once you can do that ... start going for the pin. Great job!
Great Lesson explained really well. I will now use this technique every time I land in bunkers. Thanks
Very good. Glad you saw it. This keeps it super simple literally within minutes you will get them out. Once you can do that then start to go for the pin.
Thank you, again. Trying to get my friend, a new golfer, to follow your instruction.
Thanks for the promo to others. Hope they start to follow me. Be good to start now before they get into the habit of hitting with arms. Then it's much harder to make the switch.
although my distance to the pin wasn't great, I was able to get out of the 2 bunkers I was in and have a chance at par saves with this tip. after basically not being able to get out of the sand before my confidence has skyrocketed in just 2 attempts. I will now use this tip forever and start getting closer to those pins and getting up and down. Thanks Paul.
Very good. As I explained in the tip you can get them out in minutes. Just them out. That is your first goal. Once you can get all balls in a whole bucket out then you go for the pin. This is going to be huge for your game.
Thank you so much Paul what a great lesson especially at 3:00. I would always twist my hand to open it but it makes more sense just to fix the grip keep up the great work brother appreciate you
Glad you liked it. Simple to hit perfect bunker shots. Do it my way and every time you are hitting any other club you are also working on bunker shots.
Fantastic lesson, it really works!
Great to hear!
This. Tip. Works! Practiced it today and it worked so well. Thanks for this great tip.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for showing the shot from down the line and the font. That's the one thing I've felt was missing in many of your earlier videos.
Yes, thought it was important in this tip.
This really works. I tried it the other day during a round where I hit a few practice shots out of the bunkers. I even forgot to grip the end of the club on one and it still worked. "Regular swing" and don't worry about hitting behind the ball are really the keys here. Was taking a perfect amount of sand and not my typical 5 inch deep sand crater.
It sure does. Been teaching this for years and can get anyone hitting perfect bunker shots in minutes. Glad you found it and having success too.
Great instructions.. Love all your videos… you have helped me bring down my score by a lot
Great to hear! Glad you found this one for bunker shots. Keep it simple.
Great tip Paul.....makes bunker play fun and takes the panic out of worrying about a bunker ruining a good round.....thanks
Yes it does! You don't need to be worried hitting bunker shots that's for sure.
I watched the video and went to the practice bunker the next day. I cannot believe how well this works. I got up and down 3 times on the course today using this technique. Awesome! Now to dial the distance in with a couple different clubs. Thanks Paul.
Glad you tried it and were successful. These shots are so simple yet people insist on making them complicated. Distance - open or close the face more or less or turn the body faster or slower.
Thank you Mr. Wilson for such lucid, clear teaching method, which has benefited my own playing immensely.

Glad to help. I appreciate the support.
Great coach. I always correct my problem by watching your tips.
Thanks so much. Glad your with me.
Paul, once again you prove that you are THE MASTER....really , really enjoy watching and learning from you.
Your lessons NEVER FAIL to help.
This is a bunker tip like only YOU can show it.
I will be practicing your bunker tip tomorrow morning !!...THANK YOU.
Many thanks! It will work. Once it does, please post your results.
Hi Paul..went into the practice bunker yesterday. Your tip worker immediatley on the far flag,but,it took me a long while to make it work on the near close flag. It was me and I knew it. I was afraid to take a full swing on a close flag. After about 30 minutes I figured out that opening the face more and swinging easier it would work , and it did.
I will continue to practice...look forward to more of your great videos.
THANK YOU Paul..BE WELL.
Very good. You figured it out. Now trust it.
Thank-you Paul. I have used your method for the past 3 times I have been out golfing. Works every time. Now I just have to work on getting closer to the pin. Again thanks!!!!
Glad you tried it and got results. So easy to get it out. Yes now you can try to dial it in.
Great tip Paul, because it’s so simple.
Absolutely. Let us know your results.
I love your tips . They are very helpful . Please post tips on chipping techniques
Maybe in the future. I have short game tips on my other sites.
I can't believe it. I watched this video 2 nights ago, and tried it out on the course today using a 58 degree sand wedge. I was 20ft from the hole coming out of a deep bunker. It was the shot of the day for me. It stopped 6 inches from the pin. I'm sold. Thanks for the only bunker method I'll use from now on !!
So glad you tried it and saw how easy it is to get out of bunkers. This is a huge part of the game. Keep at it.
Hi Paul, went to the pratice bunker yesterday. Your tip worked immediatley on the far flag,but, I did have trouble on the near close flag. It was my fault and I knew it was my fault. I was apprehensive about taking a full swing with the flag so close. After about 30 minutes I learned to really open the face and swing a little softer and it worked. I will be back in the bunker again soon to pratice more. THANKS AGAIN Paul..BE WELL.
Nice work! Yes, you figured it out. Open the face for sure. Trust. You're welcome!
I went to practice your tips this afternoon and believe me I have improved my bunker shots 100% thank you very much again for your tips!
Great to hear! This is a super important part of the game.
Sounds good, I will try it!😀👌🏻
Please do! Then let us know if you can get it out or not.
Excellent tip with all the explanations as to why it should work.
Glad you liked it!
This is as good of a tip on bunker shots that I have ever seen ! And to take a normal 7 iron swing, never heard of such a thing til now. Thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
Tried your tip and it really works! Thanks, bunkers are no longer a concern!
Good to hear! No one should ever have trouble with bunker shots. This is a big part of the game. Poor bunker play puts pressure on your long game. Glad you are getting them out.
Thanks. Can't wait to try
Let me know how you do. Fix this and it changes your whole game.
Great lesson will try it!
Have fun! Let us know how you do.
This is amazing, went in bunkers twice today, open face 130 degrees, re-gripped the club, normal swing and they both out and 4 ft from the holes, only if I could make both putts LOL. Thanks Paul, enjoyed my better games tremendously.
Exactly. And there are actually people who doubt me. How many people have to hit amazing shots in minutes for them to believe it. Glad you tried it an got amazing results too. This will really help into the future.
Great tip!! Still working on the body swing.
Thanks. Stay focused and do daily practice swings at home.
Practice this yesterday and WOW 🤩 so much easier then what I was doing. Practice to build confidence then take to course.
That's great. I keep it super simple. The goal for most people is to get every ball out. This is the easiest way to do that. Glad you tried it and are successful.
Great information. Will give it a try!
Please do. You will be hitting perfect bunker shots in minutes. Once you do, let me know your results.
Great advise I will try it
The BEST tip to improve your bunker play! Used this during today’s round. In the bunker 4 times, sandy par twice and 2 other good looks at par (made bogey). Thanks Paul!
Thanks so much. It is so simple to get the ball out of bunkers. If you can get the ball out it take pressure off your long game. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant. And so easy. Great. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Let us know how you do.
What a great tips. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Paul, I like the way you explain. Thanks a million.
Glad it was helpful! This will get you hitting great bunkers shots which is a big part of the game.
lovely tip, you make things so easy👍👍
Thank you. This tip has helped countless people get it out of the bunker. Give it a try and let me know how you do.
This has to be the best bunker tip I've seen and the easiest. I've struggled getting out bunkers.been told all the contradicting advice ie 3 inches behind the ball, weight distribution etc. I'm going to try this.
Thanks so much. These are vital shots. They help take pressure off of your long game too so getting it out and on is huge. Make it complicated and too many steps and you will never get it. Stay focused. Your first goal is get them all out and on the green. Once you can do that go for the pin.
Very helful tips.Great lesson.
Glad you think so!
Amazing tip, so effective.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
Another great video lesson...thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Paul, you’re the best. I came to see you at Bears Best years ago, and had a very difficult time incorporating the ‘body swing’. Admittedly, I’m a stubborn guy and takes me a long time to learn new things. I’m finally feeling the effortless, ropey arm body swing and hitting it better than ever. Appreciate you! I remember this bunker lesson well, and it works great for me when I have a decent lie in the sand. Having some difficulty when the ball is on a slope above my feet. Is there any slight adjustments you can suggest to help in those situations?
Thanks so much. I do deal with stubbornness regularly. Glad you stuck with it and my technique. Now you are starting to get it which is great. No real adjustment on those shots other than aiming right. Just make sure you move through it as I suggest. The lie may be stopping you from getting through to the finish. You could grip down a little but be careful. Gripping down counteracts the fact you dug your feet in.
Thanks For Making it So Easy To Understand.
You're welcome! First step is to get out every time. Once you can do that then go for the pin.
New subscriber here. Your channel is great. Im a dad of three little ones that has zero time to practice, only lucky enough to play with friends on occasion. You help me to have fun out there and not embarrass myself!
Thanks for the sub! Having fun out there is the whole point. Keep it simple. Try to do practice swings at home working on the moves and drills I teach. Practice swings are the easiest way to work on it when you don't have time to get out there.
I watched this video last week and while playing Sunday AM - i had a fairway bunker shot - i remembered this video - nailed the shot to about 10' from the hole and sank the Birdie putt. I was very happy! i am a 80's to low 90's player. the Follow through on bunker play - seems to have been the missing element for me.....thank you Mr Paul Wilson!
Glad to help. These are important shots so keep at it.
I’m in Ohio, so we haven’t been able to play or practice yet, but last week I went to Orlando and never struggled more in my life getting out of the sand. I watched this video when ngot home and went to my local practice bunker to give it a try. It works! Great video. Thanks. 5 stars!!!
Glad you tried it. As you see getting the ball out of the sand is easy. Too many people making this way too complicated. Keep at it.
Great Paul - tried everything and this works best for me.
You mention harder, wet sand (that we often get in northern Europe) and your thoughts on adjusting to cope with that would be of interest. 😊 Thank you.
Glad you liked it. I thought I mentioned hard wet sand. Face square so you get the shovel effect. If you can't dig in they you are picking it off the surface. Kind of a pitch shot. Grip down a tiny bit so you hit the ball first.
So many bunker videos have you thinking of 25 different things during set up…I love this video instruction because of how simple your thought processes are, the tips make sense in breaking down the technique, and I’m gonna try this next time I’m out on the course. Appreciate you sharing it!
Exactly. I watched one and the person taught 16 things. Good luck with that. I make it simple and in minutes the person will hit perfect bunker shots. Simple is the key. Give it a try and let us know how you do.
@@paulwilsongolf so hit the practice green today and got in the green side bunker. Dug my feet in, opened the club, and took my normal swing…perfect got it out and rolled within 5 ft. I hit 30 shots, some within 2 ft, 90% I got out and on the green! Thinned a few, got under a few…but couldn’t be happier!
The hard part was just trusting the process and taking a full swing as I’m always think of blasting it over the green..tee…next hole😂…I like simplicity in my game…the less I have to think the better…my Dad on the other hand has 30 pre shot thoughts…I’m the opposite.
Out of all the CZcams videos on green side bunker play, yours for me was the best and immediately paid off. Appreciate it!
Glad you like the tips. Simple is the key for sure. Make it complicated or difficult and no one will understand or get it. As you see with this one, bunker shots are simple. After you keep getting them out you will get the trust. Keep at it.
Excellent tip
Very easy to get out of bunker
Thank you
Thanks so much. Super simple and you will get it out every time.
Great video, i play with so many seniors that fear bunkers,most are trying some advanced tour pro techniques and failing! pros are trying to get it close with subtley and skill and different distances even taking off power.Most golfers just need a gettit outer!, a standard repeatable distance for them and 1 putt or 2 putt depending where the pin is.PWs technique is the best simple.
Remember sand will stop a speeding bullet (arms only) but not a bulldozer (body)
I know exactly what you mean. My technique is super simple and works withing minutes. Once you can get every ball out then go for the pin. Getting the ball out of the bunkers takes pressure off of your long game so it is vital that you learn how to do it. It doesn't get easier than this.
Ty
I watched this last night. I went out to our practice hole at our country club this morning. After I got the hang of it I put 26 out of 33 inside the flag stick from about 45 feet from a variety of placements.
Definitely feeling more confident in the bunker now.
Very good. Such a great feeling when you can get them out. As you get more confident it won't even matter if you end up in one in the future. Keep up the good work.
as always, excellent lesson. thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I'm a 12 handicap but have had tons of trouble getting out of bunkers for the past 40 years. Totally inconsistent and lacking confidence. I watched your video (a couple of times) yesterday and went out to play today. I was in four bunkers during the round . . . I hit four very nice shots out of them! One of them on a par 5 even set up a birdie sandie!!!! Your method is simple and, because of that, inspires confidence in the swing. I cannot thank you enough!
Wow! That's great. Bunkers are so simple if you follow this. As I said in the tip I didn't always teach this. Once I switched I could get anyone out in minutes. I literally had a guy come here from New York just for a bunker lesson. He had taken 10 in a past and couldn't get it out. Literally 10 minutes was all it took. Perfect shot after perfect shot. He said I was the only one who didn't say to hit a spot 3" behind the ball. This shows you that hitting is the problem. Stop that and do it as I show in the tip and you can get them out every time. Keep up the good work.
Awesome as always, now let's get your tip for those hard packed bunkers like the Muni's I play around here!
Glad you liked it. Thanks. You would square the face and dig the feet in. You need it to act like a shovel to get it out of the wet sand. If you can't dig it then you are picking it off the surface. I would grip down a half inch and do more of the my pitching technique. 3/4 back and turn the belt buckle to hit the shot. Still need to get through it but don't swing too hard or you will hit it over the green.
Great instruction on bunker swing. You used a pin that was a little further so I understand the full swing concept . what about a short distance to the pin from the bunker??? Would you still use a full swing
Open the face more. Still full swing.
What a leap of faith this is. But it works. Still can’t get my head around it and tentative every time I do, but...it works!
Used this a few weeks now and results are better for sure.
Thanks Paul!
Well if what you were doing before was not working you need to make it more simple. This is simple and it works. Keep getting the ball out and you get confident.
Wow. This 100% worked for me. Came out high and soft with spin with my 58 degree. Used the same technique in the grass for a flop shot. Just no digging my feet in of course. Thank you!!!
Very good. Keep it simple. It's important you get it out. Once you can it will give you a lot more confidence.
Can't wait to try this tip and trick out!! Bunkers are not my friend......I do the weight shift, dig down and stab at the ball.... but this looks like my game changer!!! Thanks Paul!
Just follow it and you will be hitting perfect bunker shots in minutes.
I never have problems in the bunker-just take two whacks. Then pick it up and throw the ball. I can’t wait to practice this. My game has improved immensely since I started watching these videos. Thank you!!!
Glad you are improving. You will see your bunker shots will be a breeze into the future.
Paul, another 5 star lesson. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
This video was great....got out of every bunker with confidence!....and decent distance! Thanks!
Glad it helped! Once you can get them all out and on the green then go for the pin. Great feeling when you can get them all out. This will save you a ton of shots.
@@paulwilsongolf it did today....picking the ball out of fairway bunkers still a problem!
I’ve had bunker lessons from 3 different Pros, and 2 clinics - but was still struggling. Tried your approach, which was counter intuitive from my previous teachings - and it worked. When it stops working I go back to this video to find what I have forgotten to do. Many thanks, you are a wise man. BTW how did you know I don’t practice enough?
So easy to get it out of bunkers. They were probably teaching how I taught many years ago. Glad you tried it and are getting out. This will take pressure off of your long game.
Hi Paul, this tip really worked ,I was looking like a pro hitting high bunker shots but had problem with them when there's no sand.
Glad you found me and tried it. As I said, they come out with ease. The no sand is tricky. We have a lot of this in Vegas here as the wind blows the sand out of the bunkers. What I do is have a square face. I am square. I feel like it pick the club up going back so it is steep. Then I chop down on the sand not really doing the full follow through. Instead I go about waist high in the follow through because hitting the sand takes all of the speed off. So it's a square faced shot. It pops them right out. On a hard surface if you do the open faced shot you will zing it over the green because the club bounces off the sand. You need it to dig in. Give it a try. Works great.
At my Muni golf course, the "bunkers" range from being hard pan to a few that were re-built and have sand in them. For years, it was a Big struggle getting out of these bunkers, but with Paul's Way(s), I do better to where I no longer have FEAR. Thank you Paul!
That's great news. Saves a lot of shots.
Almost everything is clarified except one thing. I know it's definitely not hitting 3" behind the ball or ball first and sand. Hitting how far really behind the ball?
I TRIED THIS ON Monday.
So so good, I started popping into the bunkers on purpose!
Woohoo much zip and spin, love it!
Can't thank you enough.
So obvious.
Best wishes from the UK.
