Use loft
Start by selecting your highest lofted wedge. Next, open the face before you take your grip, which you’ll need to maintain during your swing. One great drill to practice this is to put sand on your club and try to throw it over your shoulder with your backswing.

Aim your body left
To encourage a high shot that pops up, aim your body left and your club at the target. Your ball position should be opposite your left heel, while your weight should favour your left side (for right-handed golfers.

Stay stable
Take a wider than normal stance to lower your centre of gravity and increase your stability. By reducing any lower body swaying, you’re much less likely to thin the ball into the face of the bunker.

Swing fast and commit
When you swing, keep your lower body quiet and look to keep accelerating with fast hand and arm speed, hitting the sand a few inches behind your ball with the sole of the club. The faster your club moves through the sand, the quicker your ball will get up into the air and out of the bunker.
