For amateurs pitching or lobbing the ball over a bunker can be a scary experience. Usually, their fear is greatly increased by a lack of understanding of technique. Amateurs must understand that most short game shots are “specialty shots” and full swing technique rules “need not apply” You’ve heard the term “one piece takeaway.” This is great for producing long, boring, driving shots, not for high, soft pitches or lobs. To produce this type of shot, you need the opposite of a one piece take away. you need an early wrist cock to get the club shaft vertical quickly. this shaft angle will help produce high arcing shots needed to loft your ball over a bunker.
