THE DRILL
HOW TO GET IT: Make practice swings from an uphill lie (back foot lower than the front). When you swing uphill, gravity keeps you over your right side longer in your downswing and stops you from moving in front of the ball. Almost automatically, the uphill lie gives you the upward angle you need to hit powerful drives. When you move to flatter ground, resist moving forward — use your left side as a post that your club can sling up and past.
Practicing on an uphill slope helps you lean away from the target the correct amount so you catch the ball on the upswing.
