Anchor heavy feet and rotate through bunker shots

For a more stable bunker action, feel the feet heavy, with the knees pushing into the feet and the feet pushing down. Turn the right side more, let the club release, finish farther around, and keep the right foot as quiet as possible.

Try it

  1. Feel like your feet are heavy, with your knees pushing into your feet and your feet pushing down.
  2. Turn the right side more and let the club release.
  3. Come around more after the strike and keep the right foot as quiet as you can.

Why this context matters

The cues are part of a greenside-bunker motion correction.
