Overall match to elite technique
This score is based on a sample athlete. Your score will reflect your actual technique.
You're showing good instincts for the bunker — your setup width and sand entry point are in the right zone. The technique gaps are in club face angle at address and a deceleration habit through the hitting zone, both of which are the most common barriers between good and elite bunker play.

DIFFERENCES FOUND
Club Face Square at Address Instead of Open
HIGHWhy it matters:
A square club face removes the bounce of the club — the curved sole that makes bunker shots possible. Without opening the face first, the leading edge digs into the sand rather than gliding through it, causing fat, stuck-in-sand shots.
How to fix it:
Before taking your grip, lay the club on the ground and physically rotate the face open — about 20–30°, so you can see the face looking skyward. Then grip the club in this open position. Re-gripping after opening removes the benefit. Make this a pre-shot checklist item on every bunker practice.
Deceleration Through the Hitting Zone
HIGHWhy it matters:
Decelerating into sand is the cause of most "chilli dip" and bladed bunker shots. The club must accelerate through the sand for the bounce to work and to generate enough energy to lift both sand and ball onto the green.
How to fix it:
Commit to a mindset shift: you are not hitting the ball — you are hitting the sand under the ball with full acceleration. Practice swings where you draw a line in the sand and swing aggressively through it without a ball. Feel the club accelerate through the line, not stop at it.
Ball Position Too Far Back in Stance
MEDIUMWhy it matters:
Ball position in the back half of the stance causes the club to strike the sand too steeply and too close to the ball, reducing the cushion of sand under the ball and making distance control inconsistent.
How to fix it:
Place a tee inside your left heel as a reference mark and position the ball off that tee every time. Over five sessions, this position will become instinctive.
RECOMMENDED DRILLS
Line in the Sand Acceleration Drill
Acceleration through impact
Draw a line across the sand. Without a ball, swing through the line as aggressively as you can, focusing on the club accelerating after the line — not stopping at it. Count 50 swings and feel the sand spray forward.
Sets/Reps: 50 accelerating swings per session

Club face angle at address
Every bunker shot in practice: place club face on ground first, open it 20–30°, then grip. Build this as a habitual pre-shot routine before adding any swing thought. Use a mirror or camera to check face angle from above.
Sets/Reps: Every bunker shot in practice

Ball position forward of centre
Press a tee into the sand at your left heel position. Place the ball off the tee every shot for 4 sessions until the forward position becomes the natural default.
Sets/Reps: 4 sets × 15 shots
Sign Up to Save DrillTOP 3 FOCUS POINTS
Open the club face before you take your grip on every bunker shot — the open face is what makes the bounce work. This is non-negotiable.
Commit to accelerating the club through the sand. You are hitting the sand, not the ball — swing aggressively through impact.
Position the ball forward of centre — off your left heel — not in the middle of your stance.
COACH'S SUMMARY
Your 72% similarity score is actually strong for the bunker shot — one of the most technically complex shots in golf. The club face position at address is the architectural fix: everything from distance control to consistency depends on the bounce working correctly, and the bounce only works with an open face. Solve that one habit and the rest of your bunker game will start to click quickly. You're one committed session away from a genuine breakthrough.
