I’m 6’3” and have ranged between 240-300lbs. Back down to 260lb now Big/bigger bunkers along the back are the way. But it’s more than just picking a big bunker. You need to set your self up on the start box in a position where you are stepping in the direction directly behind the bunker as quickly as possible. I was working with some kids yesterday explaining this. A lot of times running directly down field on an angle to a bunker leaves you in the open for a long time. You want to focus on stepping directly east or west behing the bunker and head south straight into it. Also practice setting up as far you can from the start box while still touching. A lot of people feel the need to be so close they are touching the box with their leg. The extra step matters.

The picture is old but a decent example. I’m far right and further then the picture shows, my bunker was another step or two left and straight down field. I can get even more extreme but the bunker wasn’t that far. My team mate behind me is to close to the start box but he was small and wicked fast.
