Match three bunker releases to parts of the sole

The instructor describes three releases that use different sections of the wedge sole. Release one points toward the front or left hip and uses the front section, release two points toward the belt buckle just after impact and uses the middle section, and release three points toward the right hip just after impact and uses the back section.
