Question

What is the technique of hitting a downhill shot?

Answer 1

Bend your left knee a bit more so you are standing slanted to adjust for the down slope (for right handed golfers, right knee for left handed golfers).

The idea is to adjust your body to it 'looks' like you are standing on flat ground so you have more area behind the ball.

Answer 2

Three key things you have to do. You need to play the ball back in your stance, you have to keep your shoulders parallel with the ground, and aim right because the ball will have a fade from this type of lie. Most  right-handed golfers place more weight on there right side to compensate for balance and they will hit it fat every time.

You will want to keep your legs a still as possible and swing mostly with your arms. You want the fewest moving parts for this type of shot. It works the same for an uphill shot too.

Answer 3

imagine that your target is your left and ball is bellow your feet. is that the situation ? or try to visualize and adjust with similar shot:

1. ball will tend to go right (slice)-- aim left

2. full grip to lengthen your club.

3. bend your knees to adjust the club head.

4. little open stance.

5. club face little left of the tgt.

6. body alignment left of the tgt.

7. normal swing

trust me. try yourself and let me know. thanks
