The Tee Drill
Share
Michelle Winkler answers a question she frequently gets about bunker play. Should you look at the ball or the sand? She then demonstrates a tee drill that will help you execute sand shots properly.

Daily Video Tips
do you break your wrists?
practice with pinky off the grip. After practice swings do u regrip with full grip?
Is the 10 finger grip gives you a more relaxed grip ?
I noticed you used the tee from a slightly uphill lie in the bunker. What adjustments to the drill (if any) would you make to practice it from downhill lies in a bunker? Tee it a little higher? A little lower? I tend to struggle with downhill lies in bunkers. Thanks.
I enjoy the daily tips but all the bunker tips are shown with nice fluffy clean sand, neatly raked and they look nothing like the bunkers I get into, and I am in a lot. Some haven't seen a rake in days and the sand is like hitting off concrete. I struggle with the drills suggested like the tee drill here or fried egg or others. To get the club into/under the sand the swing is so hard there is no margin for error, and I am not that good. Too far back the club dives into the mud/sand mix and the ball rolls 6ft, too close and it thins and shoots across the green, usually into the bunker on the other side. If the bunker didn't have a lip I'd use a putter. Any tips or drills or suggestion for hitting out of "bad" bunkers?
Excellent tip for cleaner constact - cannot see how that can fail.
Really good swing thoughts in this lesson. Anxious to try the drill on the range. Thanks
Does this also help with the driver??
Is there a similar drill for the driver? I have seen Justin Rose do some interesting things in his pre-swing ritual.
