Playing the uphill chip shot is a little bit different than playing the same lie when you're hitting a full shot. Traditionally with a full shot I'd encourage you to get level with the slope use a less lofted club and follow the contours of the slope and sweep the ball up in the air, but in this case with a chip shot it's slightly different. We need to build a stance where we're more level with the ball or even get your sternum here further past it this is going to ensure the low point of the arc happens a little later. If you fall into the trap of leaning back you'll find you may well come in and hit the ground before the ball scoop it up, and in the worst case even double hit it. So on this chip shot we need to build a stance where we're hitting into the slope.
So notice how my knees push more towards the target I've lent the shaft further forwards and I'm going to make a stroke where I drive the club head into the turf and the ball this is going to pop the ball up. Most important you use a more lofted club for the because you are leaning the shaft forward thus taking the loft off it. Your weight is more forward so that's going to drive the ball out with a little bit more aggression if you like. So say the key to this is that set up so hands forwards weight forwards notice where my sternum is here is just past the golf ball and going to make quite a firm brisk stroke and from here we're going to give it a little pop. So if you try that, that nice firm stroke let's give it another go a little pop. You'll find your contacts improved and that ball just jump out of that up slope you'll get a lot more consistency.
