How about a Slap-Punch? You're not hitting with your knuckles like a Boxer but hitting with the Palm but with a clenched fist and Bent Right Wrist ???
Would "Slap-Punch" be closer to the feel?
I think that's it Daryl! Perhaps my better sand shots are a combination of using #1 along with doing a better job of maintaining that right forearm wedge. My FLW has a ways to go, but making progress...

Wasnt pitch elbow originally "slap" elbow? Thought I read that somewhere , I dont have an early edition. Wish I did, PM me anybody who wants to sell a 3rd.
Lee Trevino told me a long time ago that the best in the world out of bunkers play a " V "... To describe this you have the letter V and the open end would be toward where ever you are hitting. What I was told and I never practice bunker shots EVER.. Is, the right side of the V is @ your target the left side of the V is your feet line and the area where the V meets is where you play the ball. Now you are these so called Guru's on TV telling you that you need to explode the ball out of the bunker.. Well thats because they are preching to the guys who can not play the average 90 shooter. Its tru that there are times that you want to explode the ball out but the best play it back.

Are you saying the best nip it with the ball back, or do they still get some sand?

Nip is correct.. It's pretty hard to hit down on the ball when it is up in the stance and you are taking the club strait up in the air. You have to get face on ball to impart spin, but depending on the shot you might want to explode the ball with sand to let it roll out. You rarely see them show this style of bunker shot on swing vison on PGA Tour coverage tournaments. The reason is most people try to nip the ball further up in there stance and hit lazers or extrem fat shots because the have released to early. Try it! then make your judgement.
