Donald is perhaps the best bunker player of the modern era, and he says that golfers should practice hitting shots keeping their arms still, but moving their wrists like “windshield wipers” back and forth.
“Your wrists should feel like you’re moving the club like windshield wipers…feel the hinge and unhinge of the wrists. You want to feel a short stroke with speed, and the feeling like you’re throwing the clubhead into the sand behind the ball. That will engage the bounce of the club, and allow the club to glide through the same.”
It’s the feeling of using your wrists to throw the clubhead into the ball that’s key, Donald says.
