How To
How to get the perfect Bunker Shot
A bunker shot is a type of golf shot where you aim at a specific spot on the green (the hole) to make sure your ball lands there without bouncing off the surface. This is done by taking advantage of the slope of the green. The idea is to get the ball into the most direct path possible towards the hole.
The best way to reach your target point when playing golf is to find the best line. It is important to consider factors like distance to the target, terrain type, whether the ball has to bounce off of the ground or fly straight and weather conditions.
It is important to understand the fundamentals of bunker shooting in order for you to achieve perfect results. First, decide if you're going uphill and downhill. If you're facing uphill, you'll need to use a drawing club. If you are looking downhill, swing with a fade. Next, you'll need to figure out how fast you need to move your body in order to stop the ball from bouncing off the green. You can do this by measuring the angle between the ball and the direction you're traveling. The final step is to measure the size of your bunker.
Once you've figured these things out, you can start swinging. As you would with any other shot, swing hard enough for the ball to go past the club head. But slow enough to keep the ball from bouncing off green. Once you've established the best speed and trajectory, it is time to start your approach. Slowly approach the ball, until you can clearly see the landing zone. Next, you should take one final look at the ball before you release it. If all goes according to plan you will have a flawless bunker shot.
