Bunker Technique with Tiger Woods & Jason Day | TaylorMade Golf

[@TheErockaustin]

Day: "I only change my wedges about twice a year" Me: looking at my sand wedge that I bought in 2004....

[@Hipnip1son]

And Tiger changes his 7 times in 10 tournaments!!

[@megabonnar]

I just got a new wedge after 17 years, I was using a Wilson sand wedge, now I'm using some Callaway I found for 20

[@EngineeredTheMind]

lol hilarious! probably the same with most of us on here

[@joemanzione4044]

2004 !!!!!!...so you have a new sand wedge !!!!!!

[@lexdekkers918]

I'd change twice per year too if they were given to me. Heck, I'd change every month, just for grins. My R11's are seven years old now, and still feel good (to me...).

[@brandenvandentoorn1250]

The problem I notice for amateurs (myself included) is that the sand on public courses is like playing out of concrete. I’ve played a few really high end courses and the difference is unbelievable. The quality and upkeep of the bunkers makes a huge difference.

[@SuperWholeMilk]

Branden VandenToorn excuses are the crutches for the unskilled

[@brandenvandentoorn1250]

Ill dog you on the course

[@prestonprice856]

Branden VandenToorn agreed bro.

[@kingerskasabian]

Branden VandenToorn I find it easier to play out of the hard sand then the fluffy sand...just play it like a chip shot

[@AtEboli]

Totally agree. Anytime you see a video or an article on bunker play, it's always on the assumption the bunkers will be pga quality- nice fluffy, fine, deep sand. I'd love to see these guys go to the typical public course and see how they adjust their technique to deal with the kind of sand most of us play out of- hardly any sand, pebbles in it, very coarse, often hard pan an inch or two under it.

[@xcalabur18]

A few things: they are both great but this video showed: 1. Tiger is amazingly humble, despite being the player with more achievements. 2. Tiger is such a well raised and grounded guy. His past personal struggles has really evolved him. 3. Tiger really knows this game technically like a science. This explains his consistency. You won a lot of hearts here today with your classiness.

[@sunnyduscle]

Have to agree - if you never knew anything about golf you will think Tiger is the one with less wins. I noticed he complement Day on his shots and also said he learnt so much from Seve from playing bunker shots from watching him.

[@Hexinvir]

This is so interesting to watch two amazing golfers just casually talking about bunker shots.

[@GolfTesla]

no so casually, I guess. they both play the same brand of clubs (at least in this video) and I presume they got paid for it (or it is part of their sponsorship contract that they have to do x number of "demo videos" a year).

[@MikesTrackBuilding]

I really think you need to get all these videos of the guys together, and make a DVD/BluRay. It is so good to watch.

yes, but Tiger uses Bridgestone balls xD

[@kosniaka9071]

I play golf with plenty of collegiate golfers who are scratch golfers and better, and most if not all avoid playing provs. the most popular I've seen are srixon, Bridgestone, and taylormade. the prov is a decent ball, but titleist hasn't done anything to improve it, and most companies have passed them. also, the durability on the prov is absolutely horrible. I've had to go through almost a full dozen one tournament round because they got so cut they were unusable

[@planetx1595]

@@kosniaka9071 I don't know much about golf, I do like to watch it from time to time, but I thought being a "scratch" golfer was the best there is, nothing better? But I'd like to be proven wrong about that.

[@kosniaka9071]

@@planetx1595 a scratch golfer is a 0 handicap, meaning they average around even par per round. pro players average anywhere between +4-+9, meaning they average 4 to 9 under par when they golf. they're a + because their net scores would be what they shot plus their handicap (if Jon Rahm shot a 63 and his handicap was roughly +6, his net score would be a 69)

What Jason said about "it can bleed over into chipping" is so very true. My short game practice can screw up my full swing even if I'm not careful because I stop getting rotation. You do have to be careful with that.

It’s not legal to touch the sand in a bunker before your swing. That’s why you have to hover the club above the sand before your swing. The reason is that if you could touch the sand with your club before swinging you can better read how it plays.

[@CruceEntertainment]

I worked on this today. 💯 that bounce is your friend in the sand, open that face up. Keep the ball forward in your stance. Hinge your wrists a lot in the swing. Then drive your legs and hips and keep your upper body still behind the ball and impact zone, and swing away! I also gripped down on my wedge so I could hinge it more easily and so it would take more sand that I really wanted or needed.

[@pauljohnson9445]

Great view into elite player's sand thoughts........pretty cool, but like TW said, amateurs don't practice enough to do what they do, with all the adjustments they can make for the conditions.

[@bobbyDD]

it really depends on the conditions and the player. I chose a 10 degree bounce 56 because the public courses I play at normally have really hard green side bunkers that my 14 degree bounce 56 would bounce too much and catch the ball thin. Id rather have more dig and leave it short on the green than thin a bunker shot 10 yards over the green. I also like to open the face a ton which adds bounce naturally.

[@pauljohnson9445]

@@bobbyDD Makes all the difference. Pelz teaches his system, then you just adjust what you need to when you need to. Being a good putter, and a grinder, really helps. Even better, be a great iron player and avoid as many bunkers as possible. Jack's short game wasn't that good early on, since he'd often hit 15 greens a round, and never had to be that good.
