Uphill Golf Shot
Golf Club Left Handed Sets
The uphill golf shot can be one of trickier golf shots. However, with the permissible setup, this shot can be handled quite easily. Here are a join of quick tips to successfully execute the shot every time you play.
1. When faced with an uphill lie, you should first align your shoulders, hips and knees with the slope. A key swing opinion is to "swing the club with the slope."
2. With respect to ball position, on this shots you should line up where the golf ball is posited closer to the higher foot. If you are a right handed golfer, the golf ball position should be closer to your left foot.
3. For uphill golf shots, use a less lofted club. This shot promotes a higher trajectory and shorter distance. So if you are 140 yards to the hole and would typically use your 8-iron for a 140 yard shot, use a 7 iron for the same distance if the ball lies on an uphill slope.
4. Throughout the swing, keep most of your weight on the back foot (right foot for a right handed golfer). If you try to "transfer your weight" like you would for a normal golf swing, you are bound to hit the turf first before you attack the ball with shot.
5. Finally, ensure that you swing along the slope.
Downhill Golf Shot
The downhill golf shot can be even trickier than an uphill golf shot. But like the uphill golf shot, the downhill golf shot is much easier if you set up properly. Here are a join of quick golf tips to successfully execute the shot.
1. Similar to the uphill shot, when faced with a downhill lie, you should first align your shoulders, hips and knees with the slope. A key swing opinion is to "swing the club with the slope."
2. With respect to ball position, on downhill shots you should again line up where the golf ball is posited closer to the higher foot. But in this instance, since you are performing a downhill shot, your higher foot is your right foot. So, if you are a right handed golfer, ensure that the golf ball is positioned closer to your right foot.
3. For this shots, use a more lofted club. The downhill shot promotes a lower trajectory and more distance. So if you are 140 yards to the hole and would typically use your 8-iron for a 140 yard shot, use a 9 iron for the same distance if the ball lies on a downhill slope.
4. Throughout the swing, keep most of your weight on the front foot (left foot for a right handed golfer). If you try to "transfer your weight" like you would for a normal golf swing, you are bound to either hit the turf first before the ball or hit the golf ball "thin" with a downhill shot.
5. Finally, ensure that you swing along the slope.
