Proper Bunker Shot Weight Distribution

For a successful bunker shot, a crucial aspect is maintaining correct weight distribution throughout the swing. The commentator observes a player: "No, he's blaming the sand. Well, you know, it like he backed off it to me. Can never let your weight go backwards on a bunker shot." This highlights a common error where a player's weight shifts away from the target, leading to a 'skinned' shot where the club slides across the top of the sand instead of digging into it. In contrast, observing a good bunker shot, the commentator notes: "See, he moves forward, Tony." This suggests that maintaining forward weight during the bunker swing is beneficial for solid contact.
