Draw a line in the sand during practice to monitor where the club enters the sand.
Position your lead heel on the line and keep your weight forward to prevent 'fanning' or 'thinning'.
Trust the loft of the club; don't try to scoop the ball or help it into the air.
Listen for a 'thud' sound to gauge the correct sand depth for the strike.
Control your distance by varying the length of the follow-through while maintaining a flowing motion.
