Firm your grip to a 5 to fire bunker shots

For a greenside bunker shot, grip a bit tighter than a soft chip - edge the pressure up to a 5 out of 10. A bunker needs a more manual release where you feel like you are firing the club, and if you hold it as light as a 3 the wrist won't work at all; edging up to a 5 lets the wrist start working and striking.
