What is the best way to play the shot when the ball is above my feet?
With the ball above your feet your swing will be flatter as the ball is above your feet on a sidehill lie.
You will have to shorten the club by moving your hands down the club grip to compensate for the fact that the ball is closer to you.
Because of the lower trajectory the tendency to hook the shot take a club less than you would normally hit.
Position the ball slightly farther back in your stance to counteract the tendency to hit this shot fat and align yourself more right of your target than normal to compensate for the flatter swingplane causing the club face to close resulting in a hook or pulled shot. |
