always take two clubs more than you need from the same distance with a good, level, lie (assuming you can get over any lip, which is always the first issue)
choke down one 'wrap'
keep your lower body stable, accelerate smoothly
hold your finish

You hear a lot of people say stuff like "you must hit the ball first", or "keep your weight towards the target". But, if you're doing it correctly in the first place, you should bit hitting the ball first anyway!
So, my suggestion is, just swing as you would normally. When I say normally, I’m assuming you have a 3-dimensional impact, direct thrust downwards, etc. None of this move ball backwards, etc. nonsense, unless you want to produce special effects.
The trick with the long bunker shot is BALANCE.....so that means more of an "armsy" swing than one with a lot of pivot. Put too much pivot and you'll move around in the sand too much and you could throw your low point all over the place

Another perfect example of what I was talking about in my previous post! Jim has given an excellent tip for all shots. Balance is one of the Three Essentials (2-0-A-2), and you should have balance for all shots. Balance is a must from putter to driver, from the rough to the bunker.
