FanofHogan, when I teach this shot to my students, I encourage a square stance, with an open face, and hit the sand in the direction of the target,as the ball goes where the sand goes. Sounds to me that you were getting way too steep, by trying to get too much across the ball, swinging across the line of your feet. You must get the clubface open though, and the ball should start behaving!
Good Luck
