o.k. guys, when the ball is below my feet, that is the most difficult shot for me. I aim left a little and now I've changed my grip to a baseball style, only in this lie. Having some luck with this, but I'm looking for help.

Why do you change the grip?

Hitting off slopes is difficult, because you never know how the ball will come out. I can hit one shot dead straight and the other will fade off to the right. I usually aim at a spot where I can get off in both ways. Adjusting a bit for the ball to go right is probably best.

What I focus on with the ball below my feet is knee flex. I sit well down with the hips, making sure I'm stable. To prevent lifting the body, I may take a shorter backswing, not fully rotating the hips, as they affect the knee flex. Keep the height during the shot and through the ball. Solid contact is the primary objective, getting the ball the right distance.

I control the direction by closing the face depending on the slope of the hill and the same for uphill, I will open the club face and the ball goes straight.

Opening and closing the clubface is definately the way to go. And take a club extra if you have to open the clubface. When the ball is above your feet, choke a bit too.

All of this applies to chipping/pitching aswell.
