Firm sand

[curtisj76]

How do you guys play a sand shot when the sand is firm?

My weapons of choice:

52 GW low bounce
56 SW reg bounce
60 LW reg bounce

You need to use a lower bounce wedge and use more of the leading edge than the bounce so the club digs a bit more before it comes out so you don't thin it

Thanks Jim, I was thinking low bounce as well.

No open face...hit it.

As well as using a lower bounce or square face, you may change your angle of attack. Firmer sand lends itself to a more "V" shaped swing, earlier wrist cock back, steeper angle down, and a recock through to finish. I love firm sand. Be aggressive!

on really hard bottom I go with my lob wedge, square face, and hit closer behind the ball giving the club less chance to bounce before contact. depending on the conditions I may open it up and play it like a normal bunker shot still with lob wedge.
I am not sure but a low bounce lob wedge may still have more bounce then a regular baounce gap wedge.

This guy has an interesting approach to the subject.
