If you're struggling with generating height in your bunker shots, we might consider whether your hands are actually doing the appropriate action for a bunker shot because it is slightly different from a normal golf shot. If in a normal golf shot would like the hands to rotate and release and change the golf club from an open to a square to a closed position that's fine for a normal golf shot that's how your hand should react.

But at the bunker, your hands really need to be something slightly different. We'd like them to keep the club face square and straight and importantly with plenty of loft. Anything where your hands rotate over during the bunker shot would close the club face often resulting in golf shots that go too long, too far left and too low. So here's a great way of keeping that face open. Consider what your right hand is doing throughout the stroke. So when you setup your right hand is twisted to the right effectively pointing the palm up to the right hand side.

Having the palm up to the right hand side creates a nice open club face that's more loft and also more bouncing the bunker. Then as we make the stroke we keep that right hand aiming high to the sky and not letting it roll down to the floor, so as I keep my right hand, my right palm up to the sky that keeps the face open, keeps the loft, and keeps the bounce angle anything where the right palm rolls over and downwards, the face would have gone down causing those low and longer bunker shorts and possibly left as well, so practice hitting either flop shots on the driving range or if you get a chance to get out in the bunker think about where the right palm is facing, keeping the right palm up to the sky adds loft, adds a bit of height and is a great way to play bunker shots and flop shots with the right palm still facing the sky.
