3KEYS TO GREAT BUNKER PLAY

[@cyberminnie01]

This is one of the best bunker tutorials that i‘ve ever seen, every things clearly explained, simple to follow.

[@DeepakVerma-wy1le]

Explained with great clarity.

[@kuuleikozlik3582]

I’ve been studying several of your bunker lessons. Excellent instructions..each step is broken down that’ll make it easy to practice. Thanks for your wonderful KZbin videos.

[@horstbuhl3032]

Dear Mister Ryan, these tips solved my bunker problem, trained this today one hour with increasing success, then i played 18 holes, three times in the bunker and guess what ! Three times one try to get on the green i am so happy, greetings from germany

[@ronwkirkwood]

Your bunker shot instruction is one of the best I have seen. Finally, I am able to get the ball out of the bunker with confidence. Thanks.

Love your videos...professional & easy to follow...nice job! 👍🏌🏻‍♂️

[@jinhuashi5004]

Hi Ryan, your bunker instruction is quite clearer than other people on KZbin. I will try it this weekend and see if I can do as what you said. Thank you!

[@tomhobbs8865]

Chris, you have done it again! Clear,concise and informative! Like others I think you are a Godsend! Thankyou again for you advice!

[@kimsteggall5985]

Excellent tips I feel more comfortable in any bunker position thanks a lot.

[@JohnnyOogatz]

This is absolutely terrific instruction. Tried this today at practice and worked a treat. Once you get this set up correct you can be super aggressive going at the ball. Tried this set up with my 60 degree, 56 and gap wedge and all came out lovely, high and soft.

[@murrayfitzdavie8099]

One of the best videos I've seen. 1-2-3 is a great learning rote. Regards, Muzza.

[@michaelolson653]

Wow, Thanks so much on getting out of the bunker, your tips really makes it easier compared to others giving instructions on getting out of the bunker, pratice , pratice now

[@djc2609]

great tip. I took it straight to the golf course and managed to get out of the bunker 4 out of 4 times with a lot higher ball flight than I'm used to and softer landing. the different release motion has completely transformed the impact for me.

[@invictus-23peacekeeper72]

this is the best explanation I've ever had, even from the pros I work with. thank you, Chris ...

[@gordonsteen5266]

Chris yet another fantastic video. Never before have I seen anyone mention what happens on the release. Must say as a putting specialist myself I would rate your video instruction right up there with the very best.keep up the great work

[@hlubmos2chah945]

You simplified it. Like it! Thanks.

[@mehdibk252]

Didn't tried yet but one thing is clear... best bunker advice ever!!!!

[@yslurie]

clearest bunker instruction I have come upon

[@mulletheadbanger]

It is the best video for bunker shot

[@Pindi44]

Brilliant lesson, thanks. You explain the mechanism and technique so well, I am confidant of my bunker shots without even having done any. However, I will go out and practice now before I go out on the course.

[@markcrook2915]

Thanks Chris, very helpful. Can you do one on wet compacted bunker shots?

[@christopherfernandes4401]

Very good explanation.

[@kendumpleton2391]

Excellent...and like most great advice simple and straightforward. Thank you.

[@titch1215]

Thanks Chris for another very informative video

[@Robdog77767]

Awesome brother!!!! This will help me out for sure--- Thank you!

[@xtreme4ce]

Great video. That is probably why my bunker shots don't go that high. Will try this next time. Thanks!!!

[@MrLeftbank]

loved the lesson changed my mindset on bunker shots it is a left hand (for right golfers) specialty shot with the lead arm slowing to be over taken by an active cupping of the left wrist great lesson I have not heard it explained that way before and it has helped me tremendously thank you Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hi Michael, glad you enjoyed the video, I would say the shot it more controlled with the trail arm swinging and releasing the club head through the ball 👍

[@bretmcgough172]

Best description I've seen so far.

[@hlubmos2chah945]

Best bunker instruction ever seen. Multitude instructions out there, but don't work for me. This is simple enough l can do it. Cannot wait to try.

[@pohoresky]

Hi Chris, Your explanations are wonderful and insights the best. I sometimes question your wording or verbosity as they can scramble my brain and I end up missing the forest for the trees. Here is an example. Please correct me if I am wrong. I love your three keys for getting out of the bunker- (1) getting club face rotated open at address (approx 45 degrees) in order to properly interact the sand with the traling edge, (2) getting a correct release with club head passing hands thourgh impact i.e. left wrist in a cupped position though impact that causes club head to overtake/pass the hands. To do this you need to create a quick wrist set on backswing so the lead wrist goes into an exrtended/cupped position though impact. (3) Getting a correct Set up-by having the entry point into the sand below the sternum just before the front heel etc No weight shift on back swing. All excellent points. Thank you. So once you have club face and set up correct all you have to worry about is point number (2)- getting a correct release so the club head passes through the hands at impact. At no time do you use the word flip. Why is that? Is that not in effect a flip. If so, just think flip after 1 and 3 are implemented. Is that a correct way to think about it? Flip flip flip? Is there a reason you are reluctant to use the word flip? Sincerely, harold

[@rollo3417]

Top Instructor! Truly look forward to your videos. Gaining subscribers too, well done!

[@sydn53]

Thanks Chris. I'm very inconsistent with my sand play, this helps.

[@rgmccarthy]

Great advice, as usual. Thank you.

[@dianespengler7787]

Hey. This makes it so simple...and it really works.

[@oneworld2642]

Excellent golf teacher 😊☝️

[@andriek237]

Great video, really helpful, just need to master the release

[@bobcarter4343]

well done...

[@faketonyabbott2772]

Fantastic content, Chris!

[@peterallen8888]

You've made an old man very happy!!

[@wilfredchepdahmformi1286]

Great advice Ryan.

[@tomcamasso2998]

Great input Chris.

[@markkirk3049]

Very different to my normal bunker shot, with only a 40% success rate out of bunkers. I have practiced your approach, 3 X 30 mins sessions on the practice area to use your approach, it's working. I played 18 holes today, hit bunkers 4 times, with your approach 100% success out of bunkers, the sand was heavy and damp. Need to practice more to dial in the distance, I get high loft, superb spin and 12 foot of carry, need to vary the back swing for distance

[@grahamcross6613]

Just watched your bunker video great detail on our to play the shot it's nice fora handicap player to get good tuition. Graham C

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+Graham Cross thanks Graham

[@danielmosias6280]

Brilliant video, What about a plugged ball and also a fairway bunker shot?

[@dalebruce8896]

Any difference/suggestions when the sand is very compacted?

[@GuerillaRadio848]

Great tips Chris. When opening the face do you then open your stance so that the leading edge is still pointing towards target?

[@Grogalogs]

Excellent.

[@gavincraig4310]

Great video. Best bunker instruction I have ever seen. This has been an issue with my game for some time. Watching your swing it appears that you are actually rolling your hands over on the release. Is that correct? Thanks for the video.

[@Dreama40]

Beautifully explained Chris, just wondering would you use the same method to get to that far back left pin position? or would you hit a more running type bunker shot and if so, how? Cheers Jeff

[@paulgoodier3777]

hi chris where does the club enter the sand in relation to the ball position? please. great vid thxs paul

[@kobuspienaar7701]

Thanks good video

[@jungfraujoch11333]

This guy deserves 300K subscribers

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks

[@pohoresky]

If you keep the palm of the left hand facing the ground on the way through, you will get to engage the bounce and promote a shallow angle of attack.

[@Romband1919]

Best ever bro love it so much

[@MichaelDiegel]

Are these keys the same with compacted sand or little sand in the bunker?

[@DownUnderOzzy]

Hi Chris, Great video once again.I had a wet sand bunker shot and I was concerned the bounce would not get under the sand. I played a more closed face shot (more like a chip) and it came out ok although it released more as would be expected. Can I play a hard sand shot with an open face too?

[@jimlafrance9546]

Chris - 2 questions: no mention of where you enter sand, so presumably the wrist flip results in contact behind ball rather than at normal sternum at ball low point? You hit this 12 yards - how do you vary length of shot? What is range for your 59 vs 56? And how do you tweak each further/shorter? And how with this set up do you chunk and run versus fly it to hole?

[@79nikita]

best video ever

[@nurimansoetopo1391]

Pls make tutorial how to hit the ball in the thick rough

[@rlctoyz]

should i hit the sand first ? if yes how many inches before or i should hit the ball first? Thanks.

[@robertnewquist3003]

How much sand should you take ? Otherwise how far behind the ball should I hit the sand ? Thanks, GR8 Videos...

[@JETLFC]

Chris ever thought of publishing a golf instruction book/ magazine?

[@randyoppenheimer3110]

What club is best..?

[@tadinho6121]

when you preset your body to the left, does that mean that you want a steeper approach towards the ball for bunker shots?

[@dianespengler7787]

No

[@colinday3335]

One thought how do you set up when the sand is damp ?

[@markkirk3049]

Chris, how would you modify your bunker shot, when the ball is plugged and the ball is below the level of the sand? I used your approach yesterday, I almost got out of the bunker, using a 50 degree wedge,.

[@wordofmo]

Mark, I have luck with fried eggs or buried balls in the sand by closing down the club face and hitting very steeply down just behind the ball. You get very little spin so you have to judge your distance appropriately.

[@pohoresky]

What about a fourth key- a shallow swing plane (more around than up and down) not a steep swing plane with a vertical shaft at top?

[@andyontherange2759]

Top tips Thanks

[@abeneroso1]

Wait. Phil Mickelson promotes hinge and hold in the bunker, with hands always leading thru impact ahead of the club and a high finish. Chris' technique makes senses too but it's quite the opposite. Which one is more consistent and safer for higher handicapped players?

[@ZeroSumJ1]

Chris, do you still get nervous when you're setting up over a bunker shot? I feel like I know the mechanics and what I'm supposed to do, but that nervousness is what ruins it for me when things go wrong.

[@we5xz-1902]

So, do you want to feel as though you're casting the club, Chris?

[@andygolfsit5559]

No mention of aiming left of target for a right-handed golfer?! ⛳️

[@pohoresky]

Why not set up with a cupped left wrist at address and keep it that way throughout the swing? No need to maneuver hands.

[@bucwild3158]

👍

[@BambooBob]

The poor chap in the background of this video would be in trouble if I were hitting out of the bunker!

[@johnwayne3144]

Bunkers are soft but golf is hard
