Take less loft on a long bunker shot

On a longer greenside bunker shot, the common mistake is club selection: reaching for a 60 or 58 degree wedge and trying to hit it harder, which makes you drive your legs, catch it thin, or leave it in the sand. Instead take less loft - a 52 or gap wedge - so you can make your normal swing and let the loft do the work.
