PugsAce:YJ? you don't intentionally miss the center line when hitting out of the sand, do ya?
As a matter of fact I do when I use the flop shot. The triangle lines up with the first mark to the left of perfect. In fairway traps I play for par which basically means get out of the trap to a good 3rd shot. If on in 2 is a possibility then that sand shot has to be very close.
SweetiePie nailed it with the outcome scenario. Look at it this way-if you have a right to left wind and ding it or hit late the result will be close to your aim, definitely on the side of the aim. But, if you miss early not only is your aim out of the equation the ball immediately takes off to the left from the default aim point, not your aim point.
I always try to ding the swing but I know I can't every time so the miss part is basically a mental thing making sure to miss on the correct side if the ding fails. I will tell you that high wind conditions are way easier to deal with. LOL-aim all you want then miss on the wrong side-goodbye. If you try this method do not adjust the default aim to start so you can see how missing affects the aim. Then go from there (I'm assuming practice mode for this kind of fooling around.)
Whatever works...................
