Are you fed up of hitting your bunker shots fat and leaving your ball in the bunker every time you find the greenside trap? Then this is the tip for you.
Tape a champagne glass to the face of your sand wedge. This will help you visualise what the face of the club is doing during your golf swing. If you come into the ball steep and fat the ball, the glass would pour the imaginary water out.
To get the correct contact, you want to get the feeling that the champagne glass stays upright through to your finish by using the bounce of the club, not the leading edge.
