Nicely settled down there isn't it...

1st, i would know i would be getting little spin out of that lie

2nd, it looks slightly an uphill stance

From that lie i would play it like a bunker shot. I would widen my stance a bit, play the ball roughly in the center of my stance. Keep my knees flexed a bit more. Open the clubface to were i want the ball to start at. Then i just hit it like a bunker shot, Probably about an 1" behind the ball. The bounce on the wedge should help push the grass under the club rather than dig into the grass, even if you get a bit underneath it it should land softly. Its tough to hit that shot like a pitch because the clump of grass behind the ball, you could end up duffing it and the ball would probably hit the bank and end up back at your feet.

    • Well, I have a 2 hybrid, 4 hybrid and then play 6 iron onwards.  My best clubs are probably the 4 hybrid and the PW.  What I find is that loft is your friend in general which is why my 4 hybrid is so much better than my 2 hybrid.  Definitely disproportionately more so than the 5 or so degrees of difference in loft.  If you have hybrids, play them.  And consider loft as your friend.  Invariably you will get up to a loft where anything less will not get you more distance because of your club head speed.  Essentially the faster you swing the less lofted a club you can hit effectively.  For me it is probably a 4 hybrid and maybe a 7 iron though I could improve both with practice
