No Bunker Wipe

The wipe is a key move for a lot of your golf shots, but not so in the bunker shot!

At GSA, we use the term "the wipe" to describe the motion of the arms and body sending the club in the direction of the target instead of the golf ball. This involves the trail arm working more in front of the body and the spine/core rotating to support it. But this combination creates a lot of shaft lean and lag. Neither of these things is desirable for the bunker shot. The bunker shot has more of a feel of a throw and coast, rather than a wipe and extend late.
