Practicing with a 9 iron is great for building your overall bunker skills
Using a longer, less lofted club is a great way to master the basic skills of bunker play; World Golf Hall of Famer Seve Ballesteros was even famous for being able to hit delicate bunker shots using only a 3-iron. While we certainly don't expect you to match the short game prowess of Seve, you can begin to perform this drill starting with a 9-iron. In order to do this though, you will have to become competent at a few of the most important moves for good bunker play and rid yourself of any bad habits that you may be bringing into the sand.
