Focus on the back of the ball. Know you will hit a ball width behind it. If you focus on anything other then the ball you will have trouble focusing on anything. Looking at the sand bedind the ball is all the same and it is hard to pick one spot.

I simply "think" about the distance to hit behind it and that is enough. You have to spend some time in the bunkers to really get the right feel for all the types of shots you need, because there are a lot that are just right for the lie/carry/spin/hight etc...
