Stay stable even on slopes! Manual for foot balance and weight distribution

Won't collapse on slopes!
How to properly balance your weight and feet

---

It is easy to lose balance when making an angled shot, and any deviation from the axis can cause a duff or top.
In this article, we will explain which foot to put your weight on for each of the four types of incline , and even explain how to use underwear and socks to stabilize your feet.

Types of slopes and basic approaches

---

Slope type	Key Features	Recommended center of gravity	Posture and other adjustments
Toe up	The ball is higher than your feet	Keep your core centered and balanced. Face the clubhead toward the target (not too open).	Position your stance and aim slightly to the right. If necessary, shorten the grip.
Toe down	The ball is lower than the feet	Lean forward from the hip joint to reach the ball	Aim to the left. Compact swing. Keep the club number the same.
Left foot up	Left foot is higher	Right foot 6: Left foot 4	The loft is flatter, so it is 1 to 2 clubs larger .
Left foot down	Left foot is lower	Left foot 100% (right foot remaining is not allowed)	One ball to the right. Aim for a low trajectory and go one or two clubs further.

Left foot up - "weight on the right foot" is the key

When you hit the ball uphill with your left foot , the loft tends to flatten and you are more likely to hit it short, so keep your center of gravity at 6:4 on your right foot and choose a club that is one or two clubs larger .
Position the ball in the center or slightly to the right of your stance to keep the launch angle low.

• Address : Keep your shoulders parallel to the slope and focus your weight on your right foot.
• Swing ...Compact top → Half to three-quarter with a large follow-through.
• How to prevent mistakes : To prevent hooking, aim slightly to the right and keep the face straight towards the target.

Even with your weight on your right foot, make sure to rotate your hip joint properly and be careful not to stop your body at the finish.
Holding the club shorter will make your hit rate more stable.

One-point advice from professional golfer Yusuke Uraguchi

• Left foot uphill (uphill)
  The ball should be slightly to the right of the center, and 1-2 clubs larger. Swing with a half to three-quarter swing to reduce the trajectory.
• Left foot down (downhill)
  100% center of gravity on the left foot. One ball to the right, 1-2 clubs larger. Finish low.
• Toes up . Keep your core centered. Aim slightly to the right and shorten your grip if necessary. Don't open the face.
• Toe down <br>Adjust the height by leaning forward. Keep the club number the same. Swing compactly to the left at the target.

A common mistake is trying to hit the ball with too much force. The important thing is to imagine that you can swing the club easily without exerting too much force.

Self-checklist: Is your center of gravity balanced?

---

Check items	Mistakes that can occur if not done
Are you placing your center of gravity on the correct foot depending on the incline?	Duffing, topping, and directional inconsistency
Are you maintaining a forward lean angle at address?	The axis shifts during the backswing and rises up before impact
Is your upper body floating during the backswing?	Increased slices and tops
Is your pelvis moving at the time of impact?	Loss of distance/mishits

If any of these apply to you , review your core training and foot grip strength.
