Firstly try asking your club too get better bunkers, but if that doesnt work when I play after its been raing and the sand is hard, i use the same set up as a normal bunker shot and same swing. I use a 60* lob wedge, however I turn my feet inwardsthis allows the club to get through the sand easier. try to hit closer too the ball though.
