When you have to stop the ball quickly from a greenside bunker, loft is your first order of business. Open the face significantly, take a wide stance, increase your knee flex, and move the ball forward in your stance. The closer to the ball you strike the sand, the more spin you’ll impart. Stay committed and compress the sand with the bounce of your wedge.
