If your ball is on a sideslope and above your feet, try these tips: 1) Use a square stance and aim slightly right of target (typically, you would use an open set-up and aim left of target). 2) grip the club with your right hand nearly touching the shaft. This compensates for the higher level of the ball. 3) Make your backswing more rounded, taking an inside path which is more behind you than upward. 4) Swing down on the same path you went back on, moving the clubhead from inside the target line to right of this line through impact (referred to as an in-to-out swing path.
