Introduction
A detailed how to explanation of positioning the marker and body when operating on the non dominant side of a bunker, focusing solely on mechanical alignment and posture adjustments.
Key Points
- Explains hand switch mechanics without discussing engagement tactics.
- Teaches shoulder and elbow alignment for non dominant exposure.
- Covers foot placement for cross side setups.
- Outlines posture adjustments that maintain marker stability.
- Supports balanced body control when switching sides.
Details
Cross body positioning refers to the mechanical adjustments required to operate the marker from the non dominant side of a bunker. This does not involve tactical decision making only physical execution.
Hand switch mechanics are performed by transferring marker control to the opposite hand configuration. Players should maintain moderate, even grip pressure to avoid tension based instability.
Shoulder alignment becomes especially important on the cross side. The torso should turn as a full unit rather than bending or twisting unevenly.
Elbow placement should remain controlled and close to the body. Allowing the elbows to flare can compromise posture and cause lateral drift.
Foot positioning supports the upper body shift. The lead foot aligns with the direction of exposure while the rear foot stabilizes balance.
The marker should remain anchored at a consistent height and distance from the mask to preserve alignment.
These principles help players build mechanical comfort and predictability when operating on their non dominant side.
