Ball on an upslope
This is probably the easiest of all the shots from sloping lies, because there’s a sense of being able to launch the ball into the air. However, there are a few ways to make sure you play it well.
Your right shoulder should be markedly lower than your left and your weight favoring the back foot. Adopt a slightly wider stance and aim right of the target, because the ball tends to hook from an upsiope.
• Try to swing in harmony with the slope and maintain your balance. Do not get thrown back onto your right foot, or lean into the slope.
• Keep your weight stable and your head down through impact. Let the natural momentum of your swing pull you into the finish position.
