PGA Professional Dan Grieve explains how to correctly execute shots from an upslope by setting your shoulders parallel to the incline. Adjusting club choice and swinging along the slope prevents digging into the turf and maintains control over launch height.
Match your shoulders to the angle of the slope to ensure a clean strike along the incline.
Take a club with less loft (club down) because the upslope naturally increases launch angle.
Swing up and along the slope through impact rather than driving down into the hill.
Keep your weight slightly more on your trail foot to stay perpendicular to the incline.
