Physics, Not Feelings: The Tee Drill That Ends Bunker Fear

by Martin Chuck

 

Ask a room full of golfers what scares them and bunker shots make the list almost every time.

It's physics, not feelings. Once you understand how sand moves a golf ball, the fear goes away.

In this video I take a wooden tee into the bunker and show you the drill we use in bunker class at the Tour Striker Golf Academy. Push the tee in, set the ball on top, and give yourself one job: break it in half.

The tee tells you the truth about every swing you make. Watch and see for yourself.

Strike it solid,

- Martin

You build leverage. Then you lose it.

  Every golf swing needs leverage for power. Most golfers build it just fine, then lose it the second they change direction. You can't feel it happening. That's why it never gets fixed. Going back, the Educator stays under, between your forearms. Coming down, if it flips over your forearm, you gave the leverage away. Go slow. A few reps and you'll know exactly what you've been doing. The Tour Striker Educator makes it visible. Feel it instead of guessing. Get your Tour Striker Educator here→

Which Golfer Are You? The 3 Putters the RS1 Was Built For

  I get asked the same question about the RS1 all the time. "Is it for me?" Here's how I look at it. This putter really helps three types of golfers. Odds are you're one of them. The three-putter. No feel for distance, no confidence on the short one coming back. The RS1 gives you a steadier, more repeatable stroke, so pace and those knee-high comebackers stop being an adventure. The four-foot choker. The knee-knockers. Short enough that you should make them, close enough that missing stings. When the face isn't twisting on you, those putts get a lot less scary. The carousel putter. The tinkerer with a garage full of putters, always chasing the next fix. This is the one built to end the search, because it fixes the flaw the others never addressed. Watch the video above and find yourself in one of the three. Then decide. These have been selling fast and are currently on backorder, so if you want one, it's worth getting in line now. Take a closer look at the RS1 and see it for yourself.

Every Putter Twists. Here's the One That Doesn't.

  I've had a bunch of friends asking me about the RS1 putter lately. "Martin, is it really that good?" Yeah. I think it is. Every putter swings on an arc. That's just physics. But the way a putter is weighted can create a sense of twisting in your hands as you change direction, and that's the last thing you want standing over a five-footer for par. The RS1 approaches it differently. 75% of its weight sits forward of the shaft, so your hands feel the lag of the putter without feeling the twist. The face stays square to the natural arc of your stroke. You don't have to change your stroke. You don't need a lesson. You pull it back, let it fall, and let the putter do what it was built to do. These have been selling fast and are currently on backorder, so if you want one, it's worth getting in line now. Take a closer look at the RS1 and see it for yourself.
