Flexed Knees on Bunker Shots

 
photo credit: www.theedinburghblog.co.uk      When playing a bunker shot, one of the most critical parts of the set-up  is  establishing the  correct knee flex.   All great bunker players have a lot of knee flex, they look like they are preparing to sit down.   The good bunker player executes the shot with the arms accelerating through the ball  and a full follow-through.   Very little movement occurs in the legs.

Using just the arms during a sand shot means that you will not very likely raise up or drop down during the execution of the shot.   Swinging with just the arms makes it easier to cut through the sand with the clubhead.   Once contact is made with the sand, the club's bounce will do the rest.
