How to Chip Downhill 2

Well, we have a different situation here. I have got a downhill lie. Now to hit this shot successfully, I am going to need to stand a little bit differently and to swing a little bit differently to get that same impact. You remember I mentioned a minute ago as the club approaches, it needs to be a few inches above the grass at this point, it must not be passing along the ground.

Well, now because the hill is this way, the club would actually have to be higher at that point to achieve the same purpose to get above the grass at this point. So if I were standing normally straight up and down if you will, now clearly the club is going to approach right along in the ground and that's not going to give me the impact that I need.

This is a change I would need to make whether it was a clean lie or if it was in the rough. This one is in the rough, so I need to have it coming even a little bit steeper into the ground. Very important to take note of that to get that good solid contact, I need to have the club coming on a little sharper angle.
