Downhill Slip

Problem

You tend to lose your balance when hitting from a downhill lie.

Cure

Try widening your stance and swing within yourself.

Therapy

Use a club with more loft due to the fact that this lie will deloft the shot. Align your hips and shoulders with the slope. If you are having difficulties doing this, simply bend your lead leg. Widen your stance for stability and place the ball towards the back of the center of your stance. Remember to swing along the slope so that you are swinging downhill. As always, accelerate through the ball but do no try to kill it. Keep your initial spine angle until you have completed the swing.
