Possibly the BEST Bunker Tip EVER! - How to play bunker shots from Hard or Soft Sand

[@jamesbaine580]

This is the third bunker video I have watched today and every instructor has done it differently. The only way to get good at bunker shots is to hit about a couple 100 balls from a bunker

[@factual6591]

The only tutorial I've ever seen that describes the use of that sand-wedge feature, the bounce. Thanks for this clean picture of what to do in sand.

[@SBillings01]

Danny is awesome, but seriously? I guess you’ve never before seen any bunker training videos. Everyone talks about bounce.

[@johnason1398]

In addition to the great lessons he always provides, he has closed caption which helps me since I have impaired hearing and even with hearing aids, I cannot always distinguish every word. Thanks Danny. You are the best.

[@eddiespark4444]

I've just practiced this technic for 30 minutes, alas not in a bunker but in my garden on artificial grass, but still, I am now feeling so confident of getting out of a bunker... watch this space... Thank you Danny for all you give.

[@DanielMaude]

Looking forward to hearing how you get on

[@jmoe38]

@DanielMaude Thank you! That is hands down the best sand lesson I have EVER received! Wow, so effortless! I cannot think of a time in sand when I didnt feel like I was swinging out of my shoes thinking I had to kill it to get the ball out. That 1 hand shot was better than your others haha. Question, what about a fairway bunker? Correct me if I am wrong but we hit out of said bunker with whatever iron we would use for distance in what ever location correct? Do we strike that ball the same as if it were very compact sand when it comes to fairway bunkers? Thanks again for all of your videos! You sir, are the lesson king IMO! Cheers Jmoe from Dayton, OH

[@craigscott3133]

When I as a kid, Saturday mornings meant cartoons on TV. These days, they mean my weekly golf lesson with Danny Maude. Always great stuff to take to the course. Thanks, Danny.

[@la5150hi-lophoto]

[@roonej1000]

Top lesson Danny. First time I've ever heard anyone clarify that it's the sand that you should be focusing on and not the ball. Thanks Danny 👍

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure Jon

[@karemariuslunde2009]

I love this video - especially the momentum and use of the right hand/arm demonstration and the ability to keep the clubhead open at all times- so thank U so much.

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure Glad it was helpful!

[@maureenbrown3139]

I often 'take an unplayable' because the sand at my club ranges from deep, fine and fluffy, to coarse, and wet hardpan which wrecks my scores. Your video is just what I need. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how it goes Maureen

[@petershepherd5916]

Great tips as always Danny, refer back to you time and again mate. Tips on chipping and bunker play have helped me no end. 👍Keep em coming

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Peter, plenty more to come 😁👍

[@ianlippiatt1163]

Danny, your tip about keeping the sand on the clubface throughout swing has finally made me understand the method for a bunker shot, thank you. I've really struggled with this and rarely see any other pros talk about the swing in bunkers. Love your videos

[@DanielMaude]

Thats great Ian, hope it helps your bunker shots

[@OliCarroll98]

As a left hander playing golf right handed I appreciate the extra bit of thought! This is what makes this my favourite golf coaching channel on KZbin

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks so much Oliver, really happy to help

[@monkeymagic4600]

I am also a left hander who plays golf right handed. Danny is the only coach who acknowledges dominant hands.

[@DanielMaude]

@@monkeymagic4600 my pleasure

[@sherifffdb905]

Ben Hogan was a lefty that played right handed because when he played there wasn't left handed clubs, think of that.

[@rhofmeister2]

This will really help my 12yo daughter with her bunker shots. We don't get to practice much and her last tournament, she had 3 holes on front 9 in the bunker that absolutely killed her score because she couldn't get out. I can't wait to have both of us work on this together! Thank you Danny!

[@josezayas6203]

Thanks Danny. You have a way of making golf instruction clear and encouraging. Can’t wait to get in a bunker and try your swing thoughts. I’ve watched just about all of your videos and have dropped around 6 shots per round on my score in the last year. Most importantly my swing and outcomes are more consistent than ever. Many thanks! Keep up the great work.

[@johntapper7247]

so good my game has got a lot better watching your lessons

Been waiting for this for a while, Danny; one of the best sand instructions I've seen - many thanks!

[@rickster904]

Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

wow thank you Rick

[@neilbrown9949]

Another clear and simple effective lesson I have never seen you comment on clubs, at 77 I have followed your lessons on distance improvement with some success. My clubs are 7 years old, has technology improved to a point where I could gain benefit from some new clubs. My handicap is 20 having wandered up from 6 over the past25 years

[@DanielMaude]

I have a custom fitting video coming soon with me and my dad

[@dr.tylererickson516]

Absolute game changer thank you. Can’t tell you how many times I pick the ball clean out of the sand and turn a 4 into a 7 or 8 cause of the bunker.

[@JeffPassageCPA]

Hitting out of sand is the worst part of my game but working on it. Probably the best thing you say in all your videos is "it doesn't matter" when a shot on video isn't optimal for you. I use that on the course now after a bad hole. You have done so much to help my physical game as well as my mental game. Thank you so much, Danny!!

[@malcolmberkeley591]

Only been a subscriber for a month or so. These have to be the most clear and easy to follow instruction videos I have ever seen even . Brilliant many thanks.

[@tntate8554]

Really great tips. I absolutely hate bunker shots because I either rocket the ball over the green or dub it. I’m anxious to try your method this week in my golf league. You made this look so simple to see my errors. Also a real trooper for teaching in the rain! Thanks again Danny.

[@leshill254]

Played in our monthly medal today and found myself in bunkers 3 times; amazingly, following your advice I got up and down on each occasion and marvelled at how easily I got out and very close on each occasion - Thank you!

[@snaicker7912]

Hey Danny. Thank u so much for the fantastic tip. I was horrible at bunkers and dreaded going into them but your tip has had me up and down with no fuss ! You’re a great coach !! Keep up the the great videos! Enjoying them thoroughly!!🇨🇦

Thrice I found the bunkers today and thrice I got it out, yes, I got it out and within 6 feet of the pin. I now love a bunker! Thank you for breaking this down and fixing a 20 year problem!

[@DanielMaude]

Happy to hear it James 👍

[@martinmoore7551]

Probably the best bunker coaching I have seen. Hopefully with some practice I can emulate your results, well at least most of them. Thanks Danny.

[@lizp757]

Brilliant. Without doubt you are the best on KZbin at explaining what to do. As a new very high handicapper I feel confident that I can do whatever you say! Thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

you are very welcome Liz

[@JeffPassageCPA]

Liz, you are so correct. I started watching Danny last year when the US went on lock down and then practiced in my back yard. My game is so much improved, thanks to Danny. I am on my way to breaking 90 some time this year.

[@DanielMaude]

@@JeffPassageCPA so good to hear

[@jmoe38]

@@JeffPassageCPA you an do it! And then it wont take long after that to where you cant wait to break 85. I am at the point where I cant wait to break 80. To me it is one of those “ it’s never good enough” things and I wont let myself enjoy a decent score because I always want more. Good luck!

[@thomassilas1]

This guy helped me hit my drives 30 yards farther.. Also before watching Danny I could never hit a decent shot off my fairway woods. Thank you good sir please continue...

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Tommy appreciate the support more videos to come ! 👍

[@davidhalliday7776]

Your chipping video on screwing the lid on and off revolutionized my chipping hoping this will do the same for bunkers😎

[@DanielMaude]

love to hear how you get on David

[@JeffPassageCPA]

No kidding, David. That tip has made my short game so much better.

[@davidhalliday7776]

As expected this really helps but what is the best way to control distance? Club choice works to some degree. Using one club I tried a number of things. Speed of swing, length of backswing and even length of follow through. Interestingly the last one seems to be the best but I’m not sure this is right, kind of like for short ones the club ends close to body like a chip, medium further out like a pitch and long ones in more like a full swing finish but all starting from a 3/4 backswing to get that momentum you talk about.

[@satgill830]

Another fantastic video, really loved the overhead camera shot early on - showing how to keep the sand on the club face - fantastic.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you, hope it helps

[@pbadeau123]

Thanks Danny! The sand on the club face tip at 3:00 was just what I needed to get up and down. So brilliant!

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

I have to say, this video is brilliant, particularly the "sense of momentum" single handed drill, it really does give a perspective that a lot of other videos don't explain as well, its great information and very helpful. Further to this, I have to admire that dispite the rain coming, you stuck to the video and played through it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@DanielMaude]

funny, yes the unpredictable British weather 😁

[@phillip4760]

Danke!

[@jean-marcbrisard7363]

I understand the momentum but only with a beer after the no momentum I lived on the court. Always good to try to catch the momentum ... the magic word!

[@DanielMaude]

😁👍

[@ruatoomey9107]

Super explanation Danny, I would have played the last shot backwards (and probably still left it in the bunker). Something that really helped me was to make sure that the shaft was tilted more towards my trail leg. I had a habit of opening the face and pushing my hands forward leading to some shanks especially off wet compact sand.

[@khamkenchanh2735]

Hi Danny. I wished i saw this clip yesterday cos i threw away at least 4 shots when i tried getting out of bunkers. I also wish that more driving range or golf courses would have real place for golfers to practice. Hopefully, i can have more confidence getting out of bunkers now after watching your lesson today. Thank you for sharing, Danny!🙏👌👍👍👏👏👏🖐🖐

[@jmoe38]

I agree with that! I cannot find any practice bunkers around me. The one course that had one was recently shut down and that was even a darn city owned course. Thanks a lot Dayton OH

[@daveweedall4505]

Great lesson Danny, bunkers are my nemesis. Lucky enough to have bunkers on our range so I'll be putting in some practice. Last week's lesson worked great sorted my driving out a treat. Your a top guy and coach cheers 👏👏
