    Mr. Short Game, I can’t thank you enough for that tip on hitting uphill lies. I have been struggling with this for so long. The biggest change was opening the club face and aiming straight at the target. So far on two consecutive rounds on our steepest fairway I was able to hit the green and the strike felt so solid. Instead of yanking it right it went dead straight. Thanks so much for this tip.

  • @MM-zb9kc
    @MM-zb9kc 4 года назад

    Thanks for the tips. Uphills always seem easier as a picker/sweeper of the ball. Downhills can be tricky if I don’t get the proper shoulder tilt as then I have a tendency to thin it. Can you do one for sidehill shots?

  • @basharatmalik2020
    @basharatmalik2020 4 года назад +2

    Very useful video on a very difficult shots for amature like me. But I tend to disagree with positioning of ball as in video. Ball should be positioned forward in uphill slope and back in downward slope. That is how your natural lowest point of your swing would be else you will have to make adjustment to your swing thru extra effort. Please clarify.

  • @dominikaltheimer9992
    @dominikaltheimer9992 4 года назад +1

    Great video, thanks for sharing! Could you also share how to deal with side-hill lies? I am struggling with not hooking the ball when it’s sitting above my feet. When opening the club face I often push it too far to the right.
    Keep it up!

    • @tedzink4574
      @tedzink4574 4 года назад

      Side hill above your feet is a hook lie. Don't open the clubface, aim right, let the ball drift towards the target. Takes practice, keep playing those hilly courses.

  • @soouyang
    @soouyang 3 года назад +2

    nice videos thanks..what about hitting woods (I used 3,5,7,7+,9,11,13, 15 woods) in these up, down, side cases, probably not open the club faces for woods, right?

    For the uphill shots, would all the tips hold true when hitting hybrids or 3-4 irons? Home course has a brutal par 5 on a steep hill the entire hole....its a beast.

    • @sabimangat7029
      @sabimangat7029 4 года назад

      Shouldn’t the weight should be on the front foot on a up hill lie so that you do not sway back and hit it fat
      By keeping the weight on the front foot you can keep the center steady and compress the ball And get to the target effortlessly

    • @jeffreyyoungblood7438
      @jeffreyyoungblood7438 3 года назад

      Ball will always want to go away from where your weight is in relation to the earth. That's what helps me remember. If your weight is closer to the slope it will go away from slope and vice versa.make sense?
