How To
How to get the perfect Bunker Shot
A bunker shot is a type golf shot that you aim at a certain spot on the hole (the green) to ensure your ball does not bounce 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.
Golf is all about finding the best line to get to your goal point. You have to consider several factors such as how much distance away you are from the target, what kind of terrain you're hitting through, whether the ball needs to bounce off the ground or fly straight, and even weather conditions.
You must understand the physics of bunker shots in order to make them perfect. To start, determine whether your bunker shot is going uphill or lower. You will need a drawing club if you are going uphill. If you are looking downhill, swing with a fade. Next, calculate how fast you must move your body to stop it from bouncing off green. You can do this by measuring the angle between the ball and the direction you're traveling. Next, determine the dimensions of the bunker you want to aim at.
After you have figured out these basics, you can begin 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 have the speed and trajectory you want, you can start to approach. Approach the ball slowly until you are close enough to see the landing area. Then, take one last look at the ball before releasing it. If all goes according to plan you will have a flawless bunker shot.
