Set a strong lead hand to open the face in bunkers

For a greenside bunker shot, set a fairly strong left-hand position (position, not pressure) so it sits over a bit more and cups the lead wrist, with the right hand sitting on top. This helps the club face work up and open. Positionally you should be looking down at about three knuckles on the top hand.
