Uphill Greenside Pitch

When you're faced with an uphill pitch shot around the green you can attack it two different ways.  The first way would be to set your body with the slope and get the club to swing down the slope and then up the slope in the followthrough.  This will produce a very high, soft pitch shot with virtually no roll.
The second and higher percentage way is to place the ball back in your stance and play the shot like a chip.  This will help take some of the loft off the shot that comes from the uphill lie.
Below is a link from my youtube channel, timcusickgolf.  It outlines the two options in playing this shot.
