Load 70-75% on the low foot in a downhill bunker

For a severe downhill (left-foot-low) greenside bunker shot, the instructor says to put more pressure on the low left foot - about 70 to 75 percent, rather than the roughly 60 percent of a normal bunker shot. He says to keep and maintain that weight through the backswing.
