| Re: uneven lies For ball above/below your feet, the solution is simple - the ball will follow the slope. So below=ball moves push side, above=ball moves pull side. For uphill/downhill, I think it's ball goes pull side for uphill as your weight stays behind the ball, and it goes push side for a downhill lie as your weight gets in front (leaving the face more open through impact). Hopefully someone can tell for sure. |

| Re: uneven lies I forgot about the effective loft strengthening/weakening. That I can figure out. I still don't know about left/right movement. |

| Re: uneven lies If the lie is above your feet it will favour the ball drawing left as it encourages the club coming from the inside. Lie below your feet will encourage a fade and out to in. I find it best to keep yourself perpendicular to the slope. There are lies above and below and also sidehill down and up. Lets see if I can find a video: Here is a good one from our mate Shawn Clements: |

| Re: uneven lies When on a downslope the ball will usually go right aswell as low. Not as much as if you had the ball below your feet but since you ahve to play the ball back in your stance the club has less time to square and you'll get a small fade. Up hill you have to remember htat the club gets delofted, depending on how steep the slope is it can be a 1-2 club difference, i.e. a 7 iron will go as far a your normal 8 iron if its a steep slope. For subtle uneven lies i try not to think too much i just hit my normal shot, maybe a little cheating one way or another but you never want to over think your shot.
