The debate is nothing to do with how to clear a shot, is all about the training that we had in to past to be a teaching professional. While learning to be a teaching pro, you are ask to teach a student to clear the bunker by hitting a inch or two. But if we think about it clearly, in order to clear a green side bunker, the enter and exit point of the sand should be about 5 - 6 inches (For TGMer, we know how to hit down and out) rather then being scoopy. Without a doubt, we can play a shot in any which way we like, but having said that, if we want to clear a green side (10 - 20 yds + 6 foot bunker) we would have to hit a bit more behind, rather then follow the instruction of what the Magazine or Golf Channel advice.

Something you will never hear in magazines that you will hear in TGM circles is that if you want to hit a "longer" bunker shot you don't have to hit the ball first and take less sand.
Simply add more accumulator #3 through the shot. Yup, give some roll through the sand, ball will go farther.

Jim,
This is an interesting one, this is what I learn too, more hand action for longer shot... This is exactly what I was trying to discuss, where hitting further back in my earier post is all about what the magazines and video say, and what we do.
