Uneven lies in Golf

Reviewer Best all-in-one coverage of the four lie types in this batch.

Moderator Comprehensive coverage of all four uneven lie types (below, above, uphill, downhill) with a consistent, simple mental model for each. Squarely and thoroughly on-topic.

Reviewer The clearest single explanation of uneven lies in this batch -- start here.

Moderator Comprehensive treatment of all uneven lie types from a well-known instructor, using a T-bar visual aid to teach spine/shoulder alignment to slope for uphill and downhill lies. Squarely on-topic and thorough.

Reviewer The two-rule mental model here is the kind of thing that actually sticks with you on the course.

Moderator Explicitly billed as 'the truth about lies' and delivers exactly that - a full systematic walk through uphill, downhill, and both side-hill lies.

Reviewer Shows you a shot that fails and then fixes it live - that honesty makes the lesson stick.

Moderator Comprehensively covers all four lie types (above/below feet, uphill/downhill) with a visual prop for each - completely on topic.

Reviewer The loft-indicator demo alone makes this worth watching - you actually SEE why downhill lies need more loft.

Moderator PGA instructor spends the entire clip specifically on the downhill uneven lie - clubface, angle of attack, and balance are all framed and demonstrated for this one lie. Completely on topic.

Reviewer The most complete, best-organized lesson in this batch - all four lies, the fix and the why for each, with a clean recap every time. Start here.

Moderator Watson goes through all four - ball below feet, ball above feet, downhill, uphill - back to back, methodically, and reviews each one before moving on. There is nothing in this transcript that isn't uneven lies.

Reviewer Genuinely thorough - explains the why behind each adjustment, not just the what.

Moderator A complete rundown of all four lie types - downhill, uphill, ball above feet, ball below feet - each with setup, weight, and aim adjustments. Thoroughly on topic.

Reviewer The lie-angle explanation alone makes this worth watching.

Moderator Detailed guide covering ball above/below feet with a clear explanation of why the ball curves (lie angle changing effective face aim) plus setup adjustments. Squarely on-topic.

Reviewer Great practical demonstration -- you see the club selection and the result, not just theory.

Moderator On-course lesson covering downhill and ball-below-feet lies with real shots and outcomes shown -- squarely about uneven lies with strong practical grounding.

Reviewer Explains the why (effective loft) behind every adjustment -- genuinely useful.

Moderator Thorough, systematic coverage of uneven lies -- downhill, uphill, below the ball, starting on above-the-ball -- squarely and entirely on topic.

Reviewer Genuinely thorough - explains the why behind each adjustment, not just the what.

Moderator The same complete rundown of downhill, uphill, above-feet, and below-feet lies - setup, weight, and aim for each. Thoroughly on topic.

Reviewer The kind of simple rule you can actually recall standing over the ball.

Moderator Simple, memorable framework for downhill and ball-below lies -- lean with the slope, shift ball position, adjust club selection. Squarely on-topic and deliberately simplified for repeatability.

Reviewer Explains the why behind every adjustment - this is one to actually remember on the course.

Moderator Systematically works through uphill and ball-above-feet lies (with more promised) - entirely dedicated to uneven-lie adjustments.

Reviewer A smarter method than the usual fixed rule -- find where your swing bottoms out, then adjust from there.

Moderator Focused entirely on severe uphill lies and how to handle them -- squarely on topic, just at the harder end of the skill.

Reviewer More nuanced fix than the usual 'just aim right' advice -- worth the watch.

Moderator PGA head pro walking through ball-above-feet and uphill lies with real technique detail, starting into ball-below-feet before the excerpt ends. Stays on the sub-skill throughout.

Reviewer Best 'why' in the whole set - one transferable method instead of four setups to memorize. Skip the sign-up pitch at the end.

Moderator Malaska builds the entire lesson around one framework for handling uneven ground - match your upper body to the slope, then find where your swing actually bottoms out. Every sentence is in service of that idea. About as squarely on-topic as it gets.

Reviewer The spine-to-slope principle makes the whole topic easier to remember and apply.

Moderator Covers all four uneven lies using one unifying idea - align your spine perpendicular to the slope - plus club selection for each. Comprehensive and squarely on topic.

Moderator Covers all four main uneven lies - above feet, below feet, downhill, uphill - each with a specific aim, grip, and weight adjustment. Comprehensive and on topic.

Reviewer Clear, specific, and consistent across every situation covered.

Moderator Covers ball below feet, downhill, and uphill lies with specific aim, weight, and club adjustments for each - thorough and on topic.

Reviewer Specific and practical, with a nice link to a common swing fault.

Reviewer Best entry point if this is new to you or you're dealing with limited flexibility - one simple rule, no jargon, and it holds up.

Moderator Entire video is organized around uneven lies with one repeatable line - match your body to the hill, then make your normal swing - and walks uphill, downhill, and ball-above-feet all under that umbrella. Completely on-topic start to finish.

Reviewer Solid, no-nonsense checklist for both lies - just don't expect a deep explanation of why.

Moderator Covers both ball-above-feet and ball-below-feet lies start to finish, nothing else - squarely on topic for uneven lies.

Reviewer Solid, clearly explained fundamentals for full swings on a slope.

Moderator Clean coverage of full-swing uphill and downhill lies -- body-to-slope matching, club selection, follow-through adjustments. Stays on topic the whole way.

Reviewer Best single-video coverage of all four chipping lies in this batch -- organized and demonstrated.

Moderator Systematically works through all four lie types -- above, below, uphill, downhill -- specifically for chipping. Doesn't wander off into anything else.

Reviewer Solid quick reference, just don't expect much beyond the basics.

Moderator Focused specifically on the downhill lie -- two-element framework (shoulder tilt to slope, ball position back). On-topic though narrower in scope than a full uneven-lies guide.

Reviewer The prop demo proving the face closes on a ball-above-feet lie is worth it alone - real visual proof, not just 'trust me.'

Moderator Does what the title promises - ball above feet in real detail, then straight into the downhill lie and the scooping mistake. Both segments we see are pure uneven-lies instruction, nothing else mixed in.

Reviewer Real tour-level insight in here but it plays like an interview, not a lesson - you'll have to piece the technique together yourself.

Moderator Full episode built around uneven lies - he's on a different slope in nearly every clip: ball above feet at Augusta, a downhill approach, talking through severe lies in the rough versus fairway. Nothing here is off-topic filler about grip or putting, it's wall-to-wall lies.

Reviewer Explains the 'why' before the fix, then proves it on camera -- good teaching structure.

Moderator Entirely about one specific uneven-lie scenario -- ball above the feet -- cause, compensation, and a demonstrated result. On topic throughout.

Reviewer Explains the why behind the setup, which most lie videos skip -- just wordier than it needs to be.

Moderator Full video is uphill/downhill lie adjustment -- shoulder angle to slope, ball position, weight transfer direction. Squarely on topic even with the training-aid framing.

Reviewer Solid, correct fundamentals - especially 'stop worrying about bounce, just hit the ball first.' A little loose and repetitive to sit through.

Moderator Real lesson footage working the downhill-into-a-high-shot, then the uphill lie, with a detour into turf and grain conditions. All of it lives inside uneven lies, no wasted time on unrelated stuff. Docking a little because the turf/grain/Bermuda section drifts toward general contact quality rather than the lie itself.

Reviewer Fine as a refresher, not as your only source on this.

Moderator Short, single-lie tip (ball above feet) -- grip down, club up, aim right. On-topic but narrow and brief.

Reviewer Good principles, a bit disorganized in delivery.

Moderator Squarely about uneven lies -- ball below feet, ball above feet/uphill, club and body adjustments for each. On topic throughout.

Reviewer Good single-lie tip with a nice visual proof, just not the whole uneven-lies picture.

Moderator Narrower than the others - only covers the ball-above-feet lie - but what it covers (club selection to fight the pull, using a flight indicator to prove it) is squarely inside this skill.

Reviewer Quick, correct setup fix for sloped bunker lies -- no fluff, but no drilling either.

Moderator Straight through -- shoulders/hips/knees to the slope, ball position toward the higher foot, swing path along the slope, covering both uphill and downhill bunker lies. Fully on topic, just scoped to sand.

Reviewer Nice, simple diagnostic for chip contact on slopes - take a practice swing, see where you catch the turf, move the ball there. Short but useful.

Moderator Squarely about uneven lies, just scoped down to greenside chipping instead of full swing shots off a slope. It's still core instruction on adapting setup to uneven ground under your feet, just narrower - the sub-skill here is really 'uneven lies for chipping,' which is why it's not a flat top score.

Reviewer Simple, correct, and easy to apply on the course.

Moderator A clear, simple explanation from a teaching pro of ball-above/below-feet lies - which way the ball tends to curve and the basic stance adjustment for each. On topic and accessible.

Reviewer Specific and practical for short-game situations.

Moderator Uneven lies specifically for chipping around the green - stance, ball position, and weight distribution adjust differently depending on whether the ball is above or below the feet. On topic, chipping-specific.

Reviewer Short but specific, with the reasoning included.

Moderator Focused entirely on one situation - ball above the feet - covering grip and posture changes and how ball flight differs by club. Narrow but squarely on topic.

Moderator A specific chipping technique for an upslope lie - ball forward, wider stance, trail foot dropped back to shallow the club into the hill. On topic and shot-specific.

Reviewer Detailed, though some of the grip/path language needs you to already know the terms.

Reviewer One good insight buried in a lot of broadcast chatter - not something you can take to the range and actually drill.

Moderator What we've got here is really commentary narrating one tour pro's ball-above-feet bunker shot rather than direct teaching to camera - it's dissecting Bill Haas's club choice and setup on one hole during a broadcast. It's built entirely around an uneven lie, so it's not off-topic, but it's one scenario, one lie type, wrapped in TV back-and-forth rather than a lesson.

Reviewer The hook-it-when-above/cut-it-when-below principle is a useful takeaway, even from a single example.

Moderator A real on-course chip from a severe downslope with the ball above the feet, shaped intentionally with a draw to work with the slope. A genuine single-shot example of uneven-lie strategy.

Moderator The same on-course example as its companion clip - a severe downslope with the ball above the feet, shaped with an intentional draw to work with the hill.

Reviewer The hook-it-when-above/cut-it-when-below principle is a useful takeaway, even from a single example.

Reviewer The real tips are in here somewhere, but you have to mine them out of a lot of banter.

Moderator It is about ball-above/below-feet lies, so it's on topic, but a big share of the transcript is reaction chatter ('wow, great shot') rather than instruction, which dilutes how much of the runtime is actually teaching this skill.
