Watch the TaylorMade Team athletes Tiger Woods and Jason Day explain how they hit bunker shots, and their differing philosophies to execute a plan to get out of the sand using the MG Wedge and MG HiToe Wedges. The pros go into detail about what techniques they use in their game and how they adapt depending on course conditions. TaylorMade’s HI-TOE wedge lineup has been expanded to include a full range of wedge lofts from 50° to 64°. Featuring full-face scoring lines in the 56° to 64° and standard scoring lines in the 50° to 54°, each HI-TOE wedge also has an expanded toe area to deliver high-spin performance whether you’re taking full swings on your approach or playing finesse shots around the green. The HI-TOE wedge offers three different sole grinds to match your style of play: Standard Sole (50°, 52°, 54°) The all-purpose grind that is perfect for full approach shots into the green. This sole is well suited for both normal and soft turf conditions. All of these lofts feature standard scoring lines. 4-Way Sole (56°, 58°, 60°) New 4-way cambered sole with a mid-bounce design of 10°. The leading edge has less belly with a more blunt contour. This new sole has an increased trailing edge and heel relief—great for players with average or steep swings from normal turf and/or softer sand. ATV Grind (58°, 60°, 64°) Channel-cut ATV mid-sole with a bounce of 12°. The “V” shaped leading edge moves through the turf and sand more seamlessly for better contact.

If it then rolls back into the same bunker...just rinse and repeat.
Try playing a more standard chip/pitch shot in which you would strike the ball first as opposed to sand then ball. The trick for this shot is that you must deliver about 25-30% MORE power than you would use to cover the same distance chipping or pitching from grass. The sand will slow your club down through the impact zone and will add a LOT of backspin (Hence the extra power on the shot)
Give this a try the next time you find yourself in a "concrete" bunker and you may be pleasantly surprised at how consistent and effective (and relatively EASY!) this little shot is.
Final Notes:
-The hardest part of this shot is getting accustomed to how much force you can use.... Your brain will tell you to hit it softer than is needed to cover the distance
-This shot is only appropriate for clearing a low-medium height bunker lip... if you need to get the ball more than 3-4 ft up in the air very quickly this shot will not work well
My brain has never tried so hard and moved so fast trying to understand something it doesn't understand.
I totally respected them and the knowledge they have in the craft of golf. Thank you.
Dont listen to tiger at the beginning. Its always better to do too much wiping than not enough.
Me: ".... what?"
Tiger: "Just because, it will dig, you're not practicing all the time. Bounce is your friend."
Me: ".... what?"
Tiger: " More stuff about bounce "Stay north of 12"
Me: Selling my clubs on craigslist...
short game is by far the best part of my game... if I have a wedge shot inside 20 yards I like it to leave me with a 2-4 foot putt... I also play on a really tightly manicured course similar to run off on Greens Around Augusta...
Also was fitted for these vokey SM7 wedges.. the highest bounce I have is an eight..

Me: looking at my sand wedge that I bought in 2004....
My R11's are seven years old now, and still feel good (to me...).
Woods: (thinking) “how many championships have you won?”
How exciting is this!?

I live entire by this statement in all things golf. I constantly practice making sure everything Draws - because all it takes is the tiniest mental thought of not drawing it and the fade bleeds into every aspect of golf. Work on your 5 yard draw on every club - when you need to hit a fade, hit a fade, and then forget about what you just did.
"ah-hmm...ah-hmm...correct...yes...ah-hmm....correct"
It’s not the sand- it’s most definitely you.
Lowers the lie angle so he can open the leading edge and add loft and bounce whilst keeping it square. If he opened it up that much and stood tall the loft would point right of target.
For someone who will never get close to the GOAT. Was annoying listening to him..
"Mikey, I think he likes it!" Eating these pro vids up!
Jason: "Yeah."

a 1 hit wonder to tell him what to do
So there’s nothing wrong with what Jason Day was doing in this video
I mean, it’s all there if you listen.
Who was closer to the pin?
