Which do you prefer - uphill or downhill lie? Ball above or below feet?

Well obviously it depends on the situation, but I would take uphill 8 times out of 10.

As for above or below - above. I can always choke up on a club, but can't make it longer.

Uphill for me for sure, I am way better off if the lie is above my feet vs. below my feet.... Idk why, but it feels much more natural to me...

Depends on where It needs to go next. Sometimes it can be beneficial other times not so much. But I don't mind as long as I'm putting a full swing on it. The feel shots around the green with bad lies are what torture me. Almost always leave it short because I hold back.

The downhill lie is the toughest lie in golf. Great practice is to hit 5 irons off a downhill lie. Really sharpens the ball striking.

From the choices?

Uphill, ball below feet.

Downhill above the feet. Had this lie last week, it was enough downhill to really de-loft the club, smoked a 6i nearly 200 yds!

Ball above my feet.  Rather hit it fat than thin.

Ball uphill lie.   Same reason really,  and you can always go up a club if you think you will get it in the air too much.

I prefer downhill and ball below my feet, anytime!

Uphill and above feet for me.

As long as it's inside the white stakes, and not wet in a hazard, then I'm content.

I would rather the ball be above my feet than below.

As a side bar, It looks like some of the above posters have used different terms for a ball that is below the feet. Since we are talking about a ball lie, is it common to reference a ball lie with respect to your feet, or feet with reference to the ball?

Ball above feet. So much easier than below, you just choke up.

Hitting a ball below your feet when practicing will really, really improve your ball striking.

If I had to choose between only these options it would be uphill lie and ball above feet.

for me out of the options I would choose uphill over downhill and I would choose to have the ball above my feet as opposed to having it below my feet. I find it easier to add a club to account for the added loft of the uphill lie instead of taking a club away due to decreased loft of the downhill lie. Also I would much rather have to hold the toe strong on a lie with the ball above my feet (i can only assume you mean a sidehill lie) instead of holding on to the hossel with the ball below my feet.

Uphill > Downhill

Above feet > Below Feet

Neither...I like level ground.  But if I have to pick one or the other then uphill.
