Hitting three bunker shots in a row with a full, half and short finish trains distance control through follow-through length rather than swing speed alone.

How to perform it
1.From a standard greenside bunker lie, hit a shot with a full, committed follow-through.
2.Hit a second shot stopping the follow-through at roughly waist height.
3.Hit a third shot with a short, abbreviated finish.
4.Compare the distances, aiming for a consistent shallow splash strike on all three regardless of length.
What you should learn
•How follow-through length, not swing speed, is the main lever for bunker distance control.
•To keep accelerating through impact even on short bunker shots.
After a few weeks of practice
Your distance control from sand becomes proportional and reliable, and you stop decelerating (and chunking) on shorter bunker shots.
