高尔夫课堂｜打出完美球道沙坑球（八）

对于大部分业余球员来讲，沙坑是充满危险与挑战的障碍区。沙坑球所需的挥杆技术与在球道上的挥杆技术不同。同时沙坑需要消耗很大的精力去维护，普通的练习场无法让球员真正体会到沙坑球的挥杆技巧哪些是有效的，哪些是无效的。在本期视频中，JW高尔夫学院马士辉教练为各位揭晓打出完美球道沙坑的5个要点。

Bunkers are a treacherous hazard for some amateur golfers. They require a different technique than hitting from the fairway, and because bunkers are difficult to maintain, your average driving range won’t have practice facilities to allow you to experiment with what works and what doesn’t. Luckily, JW GOLF coach Mark provides you with the answers below.Here are five tips for hitting the perfect fairway bunker shot.

1 球杆选择

不同沙坑的深度对球杆选择也有影响。若沙坑较浅，可以选包括铁木杆在内的任意一支球杆。若沙坑较深，需要选择角度较大的球杆将球击出沙坑。

此时，我们可以用下面的方法来检查自己选的球杆是否能顺利将球击出沙坑。在沙坑外的区域，球杆杆面朝上，用脚踩住杆面，此时杆身会形成一个角度而让您大致判断出击出的球高度有多高。若杆身立起来时指向沙坑边缘上方，那么球杆的选择正确。若杆身立起来时低于沙坑边缘，那么需要考虑换一支角度更大的球杆。

1. Club selection

Bunkers in the fairway will vary in their depth, and this will affect your club selection. If the bunker is shallow and without a lip, you can hit almost any club you want from the hazard, even a hybrid. But if the bunker is deeper, stick to something higher lofted that you know will clear the lip and get you out of trouble.

A good way to check if you club will clear the lip is to take your club just outside the bunker and step on it with the face up. The shaft will stick out at the angle of the club face and will give you an idea of how high the ball will come out when it’s hit. If the shaft is pointing above the lip, you should be ok. If it looks like it might catch the lip, consider taking a higher-lofted club.

2 击球点

因为沙坑内的沙子很细，就需要击球时先击到球，再带出一点沙子即可。这样就会避免打深的情况，即打太多沙子，球没有打出沙坑。

2. Clean contact

Because the sand is so fine, you really need to focus on ball-first contact. You must make sure you hit the ball first, and then take a little bit of sand, in order to keep from catching the shot too heavy and leaving it in the bunker.

3 球位

球位在双脚中间，更有利于做出扎实的挥杆，从而做到先击到球再带一点沙子。

3. Center ball position

Ball position for a fairway bunker shot should be in the centre of your stance. This position will allow you to make a solid swing that bottoms out at the proper place and allows you to make ball-first contact.

4 挥杆

确保不要做太大的挥杆改变，正常挥杆即可。相对于打深，打薄的效果会更好一些。

4. Starter swing

When making your swing, don’t change too much from your normal swing. If anything, you want to catch the ball a little thin as opposed to a little fat.

5 收杆平衡

与任何挥杆动作一样，收杆保持平衡非常重要。站位扎实，挥杆流畅，做到先击球，若能完成以上的动作，球将会轻松地打出沙坑。

5. Balanced finish

Like any swing, balance will be key if you want to succeed. Get a stable base, make a smooth swing, and focus on ball-first contact. If you can do this, your fairway bunker shots will soar out of the sand with ease.
