99% of bunker videos on UA-cam show you how to play out of soft bunkers. However, most budget courses as well as many desert courses have hard packed sand. A video showing you different shot types from varying levels of sand hardness would be great!
Close the face more where there's less sand so you reduce the bounce and just pray you get under the ball. Maybe aim right, but hard to say. It's always going to be a crapshoot so you really just have to practice until you get the feel for how hard to swing in the suspect bunkers.
Too many of us (including myself) treat every shot like it needs to go in the hole when we really should define success for each shot differently based on the unique situation of that shot. Adjusting your definition of success for the plugged lie is such an underrated part of playing solid golf.
The way you treasure your loved ones is incredible.
Thanks for covering the "plugged" lie. That's one I've been struggling with and I really think this will help.
Still helping all of us out with tips while dealing with a hurt wrist and back...beast mode!!! Praying for a speedy recovery Pete!
Isn't Phil the only person the doesn't struggle with a plugged lie? :-)
Cleveland 58 degree Smart Sole graphite shaft. That was an awesome display of bunker play! I got to watch that again.
Pete - why do all golf youtubers give tips for fluffy bunkers and yet the majority of public and some private courses are hard pan with no sand. If I opened up my wedge like that, it will ricochet off the concrete bottom and skull the ball to the next hole. Please do a video where there is absolutely no sand as there is certainly none in the UA-cam universe that I can find.
What he said!
I was thinking the same thing watching the video!
I tend to chip them out when they're like that. It would be cool to be able to play them properly, and to not have to chip backwards when there's a big lip!
Yes! Peter Finch, please do a tutorial on playing out of hard sand bunkers
Yes please again!
Yes! normal people golf courses have rock hard bunkers, need some tips on these =P
Seriously great video. You break down your teaching queues in such a simple way! Thanks!
Feel better soon! Thanks for the bunker tips, and I hope to see more videos with Rick and Matt once you recover!
Been having a great deal of success with my Kirkland 60 out of greenside sand
Not tested them yet
The Kirkland wedges are awesome got the set as soon as they were available
@@alexwade3631 you right handed golfers get all the best clubs.. I hate being a lefty
@@jordanbomb32 you are not wrong mate - very one sided market - shame really
Funny, the 60 is the only one I tossed into my backup clubs. Absolutely adore the 56, I'm okay with the 52... But that 60? I had full confidence that I was gonna blade every single shot with that thing, ESPECIALLY if I opened up the face. Got myself a 60° PM Grind 19 for that, and omg the flop shot is now my best shot on the course.
This is so helpful Pete, thank you very much! Some different shots to try in the sand
Thank you Peter for another instructional video. Currently have Bombtech 52, 56, and 60 wedges in my bag. Some days i'm on. But mostly subpar out of bunkers. Mostly i'm using my 60 out of the bunkers. Hopefully with practice, your video will help. Cheers!
After watching your video and lowering my hands my bunker play has improved 100%,every bunker I was in over the weekend I got out first time with great success for an up and down...
My instructor would have me play with a putter and 3 clubs of my choosing. I would love to play like this since the score was unimportant, irrelevant; the idea was to learn to be creative, visualize and hit golf shots.
As a result I learned to hit bunker shots using everything from a wedge, a 7 iron, a 4 iron and a 3 iron.
Everything depends on the sand, coarse, damp, fine, packed, a top layer of crust, so many variables will dictate which club to use as well as distance to the hole, the height of the lip, and so on.
I learned to love the challenge of playing out of a bunker, for me personally bunker shots are a favorite of mine and I practice them relentlessly.
I even learned how to stop the club at impact and pull the club back creating a shot where the ball stops where it lands, a great shot to have for short siding oneself. On a slope the ball will slowly roll towards ( hopefully) the hole. This shot too depends on the lie and the condition of the sand.
Great vid! Love the varied techniques!
60/8 taylor made high toe wedge, best bit of kit I own!
Thanks Pete great lesson tips
I play a C3i 59 and 65 degree wedge. Very rarely stuck in the bunker. Love them.
I use a Callaway 64 degree PM grind ... Love it
First I’ve seen the Callaway wedge! Looks very nice.
Another fantastic video. Definitely upped the production value lately!!
Personally, I'm okay out of bunkers, my problem lies off the tee. But just wanted to say this is an awesome video, slightly different to your usual filming style and it's really entertaining. Great work!
I use a vokey 60 degree wedge form green side bunkers. One key thing I see from my equally average playing partners is that they decelerate the club through the ball at impact resulting in a flub shot that rarely leaves the sand.. Thanks pete
i use the same stance, hand technique, and open/closed club face. however. low bunker lip, ball on top of the sand, and lots of green to work with, i started going for a PW. ball buried in the sand, coarse or wet sand - classical splash with 52 or 56 degree depending on how much roll i want to get. he other week, i was playing a course with bunkers containing dust rather than sand. took a 52 deg wedge and wished i'd have taken an i9 / PW. the wedge moved through the dust like a hot knife through butter and the ball barely moved.
Cleveland zipcore black 55 w 6 degrees of bounce, and 60 w 10 bounce. Love them!
been needing this constantly in the sand
I use a 60 degree hi toe. I love it, use it all the time from 50 yards in to the green
Cheers for the tips Pete 💪💪
Thanks for watching
Needed this video yesterday 😂
Love the LETS GET IT ON tag!!!..
Cheers Pete. The bigger issue for some golfers is arriving at different courses and being met with different kinds of lie. For example, some have no sand hardly and are like concrete. On other occasions the club have used kids sand, or the sand is rock solid. I play off 6 and still find it the worst part of my game
Really been enjoying my Ping Glide 2's in 54 and 58 degree!
Like Jason Lee mentioned, I don't get to see much fluffy sand out here.
Lots of hardpan with bits of lava rock or crushed coral if your lucky.
It's like you have been watching me play. I hit almost every greenside bunker last time I played. Thanks Pete
I have two Callaway Jaws wedges, a 54 with a standard grind and 12 degrees of bounce and a 58 with a more versatile C grind and only 8 degrees of bounce. I’ll use either out of the sand depending on sand type and how high I need it to go. The 54 is easiest to get out, but the 58 can certainly help and give confidence in a deeper bunker when we need to make sure to get the ball elevated quickly to clear the lip.
58 degree Taylormade milled grind 👌 I love hitting it out of bunkers
OMG 🤣 Pete you sitting on that bank at the end! 🔥🔥🔥
Q star tour divide Yessir!
Pete great video
I'm going to try all of these things.
58 degree great video
Not seen those shots Peter ... yeah, OK --- the typical bunker shot yes ... but the others. Cool -- have to try those next bunker shots I have. Thanks! Be Safe
Couldn't believe it after watching this yesterday I went to the range at clarkes today and what was there in the wedge bucket, a brand new 56/60 alien wedge! Let's hope this solves my bunker problems!
Just what i needed before i make some craters this weekend
Happy digging David 😊
I learned to love bunkers after playing in long holes that I knew i couldn't reach. After playing in California with a proper professional.
I play a lot of different courses over a season and my biggest issue is that bunker sand is different between courses. Sometimes different on different holes and occasionally different in different bunkers on the same hole....if that makes sense? The same technique out of different sand conditions just doesn't work and it frustrates the bejesus outta me.
We need a follow-up video to this - how to get out of bunkers that don't look like they've been manicured prior to hosting a major championship.
My major gripe with bunkers is two-fold. Firstly, so few courses (at least around me) have a practice bunker, and if they do, they're so horribly maintained, it's pointless even trying (nearest one to me doesn't even have a rake, despite me asking). Secondly, many of the bunkers out on the course are no better! They differ in terms of depth of sand (even within a single bunker), they're not raked properly or at all, as soon as it rains they become undulating compacted hell-holes - I've literally seen better maintained beaches than most bunkers I come across. It's difficult enough without it being made unfair by poor maintenance.
Pete, I am pretty pretty good on short sand shots. My problem is with looooong sand shots. Would like to see a video on that.
Fairway bunkers kinda long? If so, you just gotta work on picking it cleanly. Or, if there's a lip, remove your ego and just get it out onto the fairway in a playable manner. I know I have a hard time removing the ego, as do most of us. It truly saves strokes though.
I like the wedge pete
My course has some really severe revetted bunkers (like a Links course) - I'll give these a try!
Do these tips work out of bunkers that are 90% mud with a sprinkling of sand like the ones at my home course 😂
Just fallen in love with that fluffy stuff while watching your video! It’s really an Art of how to master it and seems to be fun, challenging technique, imagination and coordination 🤩 But … you forgot the most awkward bunkershot of it all … the most feared downhill lie in the back of the bunker! Come on … you have to show us höw to escape this on a short pin! 🖖😵 peace ✌️ and Word 🆙
My Sim2 Max Sand Wedge actually does pretty well in and around bunkers
Mizuno T20 55.09. My general club for all sand shots and most all chip shots.
My sand wedge is a ping glide 2.0 with the black clubhead
Taylormade hi toe are a god send!😍 56 or 60 depending on what the distance from the pin is!
I have a set of Ben Hogan wedges, 48, 52, 56 degrees, love them and they’re cheaper than the OEMs
I use Callaway Mack Daddy
Getting a proper bunker lesson is so important, just to understand the technique. I've had one and have never been scared of bunkers since. In fact I think I'd rather be in a bunker than in the rough.
Great tips as always Pete. How would you change your technique when playing out of wet, compacted sand?
Or the muni courses I'm playing where there's very little sand between your ball and the clay?
Waiting for when it rains to get out there
@@peterfinchgolf won't have to wait too long! 😂🌧️
@@peterfinchgolf you could talk to the course in the evening and use a hose or bucket
I usually use my TM “ Bigfoot” 60 degree out of bunkers but if the sand is wet and packed it’s useless. 15 degree bounce doesn’t suit me so I use a Callaway 60 degree Jaws like Pete demonstrated with and only ten degree bounce. Works much better. I’m a mid handicapper though so definitely not suggesting that my skill level is perfect 👍🏻🇦🇺
Looking forward to the @miaellax video! That girl is a future golf phenom! (Not taking anything away from you, you’re pretty good yourself, mate)
I used to carry a 60º and 56º Callaway PM grind wedge, but I've been finding that it's so versatile that I've taken the 60º out of the bag. Because of the grind, I can open that 56º to nearly flat. I think that Callaway's given up on the PM wedge, which is sad. I'll have to buy several now.
I use my Ping Zing copper sand wedge. Gets out and on the green every time.
I use a 90's Slazenger SW that i've used since it was new, and there's not a bunker i can't get out of with it. Can't replace it with a newer club because nothing else comes close to it. It's technique i think, and not club. Or technique with a club you're comfortable with. Something something trust.
Nice one but how does the set up change if the sand is wet and compacted?
Just received my Costco Kirkland 56%. So far so good.
Mack dadddy 4 56deg W grind! Only club i use in the bunker!
1:58 Close enough, take my like.
Ping Glide 3’s 56 & 60 with the higher bounce. I usually use the 56 unless the pin is really close.
Until just recently, I was using a new 60-degree wedge out of the sand. A couple weeks ago, I forgot it when I took both my wedge and my putter out of the bag to play from the side of the green away from the path. So now I use my 56. But I'm not bitter about it. No I am not.
Can you demo a bunker shot with ball way above feet and flag on the side to left or right? Normally I can deal with bunker shots but this one, if not straight shot, leaves me puzzled on how to approach it. End up hitting it to middle of the bunker and go from there. Is there a better way? Thanks mr Finch
One wedge I started off with was my stock Strata sand wedge. While it's a good cavity back, it's not that great for bunkers because of its narrow sole and high bounce. It's also too weak for my wedge gapping and I found that it wasn't that ideal for hitting out of bunkers, and I found myself choosing my lob wedge instead. I have since then replaced it with the infamous Ping Eye 2 sand wedge. Though I haven't played much with it yet, it shows promise as a versatile club and I even managed to make a chip in from a bunker on my most recent round with it for my second ever birdie of all my years of golfing.
Loving the tips, however my coarse around here does not rake or maintain bunkers so they are hard and lumpy. Any tips?
Exactly my point above...
Good shit son
What about difference between wet dry fluffy hard sand? Different wedges or different swings?
Like it anyway nice job Mr Finchie
Peter are you going to do a review on the Srixon divide too?!?! Wanted what your thoughts are compared to mine.
How are you liking those divide balls Pete?
Like the new Jaws too
does this all apply to sand that is wet/really firm? I find it extra hard to get underneath the ball when the sand is firm
Fryer better step up his game. Those were glorious shots
My 56 degree Mizuno T11 gets the job done very nicely 🏌️♂️⛳😁
You had me at donut like 👈
Love my Mack daddy 2 60.
Cleveland CBX 54 with 10 degrees of bounce
Gave the Like a smash right when the video started 👍
My guy!
What do you do with harder sand
Best bunker tip i ever got was is don’t hit it in the bunker. But still I find my self vacationing at the beach a lot
Callaway mack daddy 4 sand wedge 56 degree s grind w/ 10 degrees of bounce!
Using my old trusty SM7 58° out of bunkers. I tend to fear going long on those shots... and therefore end up short most of the time ;)
Am really good at the thin 20 yard over the back😅
I use Lazrus 56 and 60 off the sand
🔥
Can you tell me the 3 water shots I need please next vid would help me a lot 👍👍
Highest wedge I carry is a 56*. Most green side bunkers I use my 56* but if I need to get it out and want a tad more roll to it or its a tad more space between me and the flag then I'll use 52*.
I use a 60 degree PM grind. Works terribly but I can't blame the club...
What about the "sand" that isn't sand anymore? I live in the desert and we have pits that are almost solid. I have a few playing partners that refuse to call it GUR. So how do we handle it? Try to nip it off the "surface" real tight with a flop attempt? Try to keep it shallow? There is no "digging into the sand". Everything behind the ball bounces the head into a bladed shot. What are we supposed to do?
I use my pitching wedge out of a bunker
How are your wrist and back feeling
I love you bro
Real question is how did you get the prototype jaws md6?
I would love a : it's a bad & dense sand situation
It depends…. When I miss on the wrong side, meaning no green to work with, I use my 58, if I’ve got a lot of green or longer carry, then 54. My 58 has more bounce than my other 3 wedges.
