Escape funnel

Where does your bunker shot break down: getting out, or getting close?

What it measures

  • Every bunker shot ends in one of four places: the inner ring, the outer ring, out of the sand but outside the rings, or still in the bunker.
  • Read as a funnel, that gives you three steps: out of the sand, inside a ring, inside the inner ring. A trend compares your escape rate over the last 30 days with the 30 days before.
  • The verdict needs 10 shots. Line in the Sand adds to the first step only, because it has no rings.

How it helps you

It shows where to work next. If half your shots stay in the sand, practising for proximity is wasted.

The 30-day comparison shows if what you are doing now is working.

Examples, and what the coach says

Example 1

The first step is the problem

40 bunker shots.

From all shots to the inner ring
Out of the sand
50 % 20 of 40
Inside a ring
20 % 8 of 40
Inside the inner ring
5 % 2 of 40

How to read it

  • Every step is a share of all 40 shots, so each bar has to be shorter than the last.
  • Half of the shots are lost at the first step.
  • More of your shots stay in the sand (50 %) than finish in a ring (20 %).
AI coachFocus: Clean escapes first

50 % of your bunker shots stay in the sand, which is more than finish anywhere near the target. Getting closer to the hole will not save strokes until the ball is coming out.

Next session: Focus on clean contact with Ring Edges before chasing proximity. Judge your next session only on the first bar.

Example 2

Getting better, and ready for the next step

50 bunker shots, with 60 % escapes in the previous 30 days.

From all shots to the inner ring
Out of the sand

Inside a ring
50 % 25 of 50
Inside the inner ring
20 % 10 of 50

How to read it

  • The first bar is now long. Most shots get out.
  • The trend confirms that it is new: up 18 points in 30 days.
  • Your biggest remaining drop is between the first and second bars.
AI coachFocus: Keep going

Your escape rate is up 18 points over the last 30 days, and is now 78 %. Half of your shots also finish in a ring, so whatever changed is working.

Next session: Keep it up and repeat what is working. Add Three Lies to test it on harder lies, and watch your Carry control table.

All numbers here are illustrative sample data, and the coach notes show the kind of advice you get. In the app, the AI coach reads all your bunker data and gives you one focus with its reasoning, based on your own sessions. Each chart also has a one-line takeaway of its own.
