Adjusting for Slopes

You'll commonly face slopes around the green, so you better know how to handle them.

When it comes to slopes there are four general patterns you'll face:

  1. Uphill
  2. Downhill
  3. Ball Above your Feet
  4. Ball Below your Feet

With each shot, you'll want to make adjustments so that the club interacts with the ground the same way it would with a flat lie. The main factors will be leaning your body with the slope, adjusting the ball position forward or backward, and changing the shaft angle. See some of the details in this troubleshooting video.
