Hit one inch behind on a 45-yard bunker shot

For a roughly 45-yard bunker shot, the instructor prefers a full 50-degree wedge and plans to enter the sand about one inch behind the ball rather than pick it clean. After catching about two inches of sand, he identifies the extra inch as the mistake and stresses that the shot demands precise contact.
