Greenside Bunker's: Hit or Swing?
Short survey:

1. Do you hit or swing most of your long game shots?
2. Do you hit or swing most of your greenside bunker shots?
3. What is your reasoning for your response to #2?
4. What handicap would you give yourself for greenside bunker shots?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

How do you setup differently (at all) for hitting instead of swinging on a bunker shot? Do you have the face slightly closed ???

I setup exactly the same way, using an open stance (up to 45* open from the targetline), angled to vertical hinging, aiming the #3 pp to a point 1" before the ball.

I'm trying to let the #3 pressure point sense the sole/bounce of the club instead of the sweetspot. That's a good feel for me.
