The video link shows clearly in slow motion how to play a competent bunker shot. Mostly it is about set up.
As you will see the ball position is opposite the left heel and a lot of weight is in the left knee whilst keeping the spine in a central position.
The clubface position is almost flat to the sand so allowing the bounce on the club to be used to its maximum, which will with practice prevent you from duffing a shot.
There after it is just like playing a standard pitch shot using varying length swings to control the distance.
No need to worry about the bunkers anymore if this is applied on the course.
