Brit Golf Dad explains how to execute shots from a front foot low (downhill) slope. He details key setup adjustments, including moving ball position back to prevent fat contact, opening the clubface to offset lost loft, and re-aligning shoulders to the left to ensure proper start-line control.
Move the ball back in your stance to prevent the clubhead from catching the terrain behind the ball.
Open the clubface slightly to counteract the loft reduction caused by the downhill angle.
Re-align your shoulders to the left to correct the tendency of opening the face to aim your shoulders right.
Expect a lower trajectory with more roll-out and adjust your target selection accordingly.
