As if this game wasn’t difficult enough from a flat line o we also have to deal with sloping lies oh come on SO in this minseries we’re going to deal with all four sloping lies for short and long game looking at the adaptation in Geometry physics and biomechanics to get you striking the

Ball pure making the right club choices I’m being able to control your distance and direction I’m under and this is golf yourself So let’s talk about the geometry of a flat lie first of all and then we can adapt that very easily to the uphill lie so when I make my setup on the flat Li the shoulders are parallel to the ground the upper body is perpendicular to the

Ground now in reality for the right hand gol for the right hand a little lower than the left the shoulders are just off parallel the spine is just off perpendicular but for the sake of our understanding let’s think parallel and perpendicular to a flat line the physics

Of the exercise from a flat line is also very simple I have the manufactured loft of the club and the manufactured lie of the club so I don’t alter the club position making it either more upright which will tend to go left or more flat

Which will tend to go right so I don’t really have a problem with the physics from a flat line and the biomechanics how the body is able to move on a flat line is also not restricted I have freedom of movement on the back swing freedom of movement on the down swing so

With the uphill line we need to get the geometry the same as the flat lie to get the club bottoming out in the right place so I’m parallel to the slope with the shoulders or perpendicular to the slope with my upper body and then depending on the severity of the slope

Then the weight will be more to the right hand side for the right hand golfer and the St so get wider to be able to stay stable so if we get the geometry right and very importantly we keep the geometry from start to strike in the swing then the club will bottom

Out in the right place often the mistake people make is actually getting good geometry in the start and then changing the geometry and then we’re in big trouble where the low point is either moving behind or even more forward very difficult to get pure strikes when the

Geometry doesn’t stay the same to the slope from from start to strike and the physics of the sloping lie obviously changes from what’s the manufactured Loft to standing with the slope and increasing the Loft so if the ball’s going to go higher it’s not going to go

As far so we need to Club down I’ve got a nine iron here I’ll need to Club down to my eight iron maybe even my seven iron to get the same distance because of the change in physics there’s no change to the lie angle so there’s no danger of

Going further left or further right but we’ve changed the Loft and need to adapt accordingly and thirdly then the biomechanics of the exercise particularly if I’m on very severe slopes I have no restriction on the back swing but I got a big restriction on turning through and getting the weight

Left and this is where you have to use your practice swing to see if the bottom of the Arc of the Swing changes because you can’t move forward as well so I’d make a very deliberate practice swing trying to hit the ground I maybe see that the low point points a little bit

Further back than normal cuz I can’t move forward I put the ball slightly further back in the stance to guarantee me trying to get a better purer strike of the golf ball because I can’t move left and rotate as well ah if you’re enjoying this video as much as I’m

Enjoying walking downhill remember to hit the like And subscribe button so I can bring you more educational and entertaining videos so we’re on a pretty steep uphill Li short game shot now geomet trees the same parallel or perpendicular the physics of the exercise I’m going to

Show you two different shots here so my lob wedge at 58° is going to become something like a 75 or 80° it’s going to go very high I’m going to need quite a lot of Swing but we because we’re making a relative short swing we’re not really restricted in the whole biomechanic

Exercise so I’m going to go lob wedge first of all I’ll take a practice swing again to see if I need to adapt the ball position to where the low point is looks good I’m going to have to make quite a big swing here with my 58 because it has

So much loft on it not necessarily the wrong Club but the higher a ball goes the more difficult it is to judge the distance so I’m going to move down to my pitching wedge so my 46° is going to come something like my 58° like a l wedge but I won’t have to

Make as much swing here again get my geometry right make a practice swing to check where the low point is just in case I need to adapt it all right so we’re just going to make a shorter swing much easier to stay stable from start to strike both results pretty good so you

Can’t say it’s a wrong club and a right Club but you just have to adapt your Club choice because of the Loft difference check out my other sloping live videos here in the meantime let’s get some practice around the greens and become masters of the slopes oh that’s aggressive go on baby h
