sand shot

Trap extraction stroke

A sand shot is a golf stroke played from a sand bunker, typically using a wedge to lift the ball out onto the green.

The technique usually involves hitting the sand behind the ball rather than the ball directly, letting the displaced sand carry the ball upward: She practiced her sand shots until she could get up and down consistently.
