One quick thing to add to this bunker tip is that many tour players and better players actually open the club up in their hands before swinging as opposed to opening their hands with the club. What they have to do however is a full roll or standard roll coming through. Hosel city if they try to cut the shot without a swivel. I like your method (seen it somewhere else before too!!!) better and will teach it to more players but discussing the other option may clear up some misconception. And pros of your preferred method over the other.

BTW love the scatter sweet spot notion and the club face and hand being out of alignment explanation. Totally makes sense.

Thanks Steve! Glad you are getting up to date on the video tips from last season.

Michael, I tried this during my last round - the open the club face with your hands rather than opening the club face and then taking your grip was new to me - and it worked a treat. I gained a much better sense of distance control I assume because I didn't scatter my sweet spot relationship. I had two bunker shots in the round, one from about 10 yards which I put to a foot and one from about 25 yards which I got to within a yard - saved par twice. Brilliant. Thank you.
