- 1For into-grain lies, use a putter or hybrid with a high handle and putting grip for a safe roll.
- 2For tight into-grain lies, stand closer, raise the handle, and pick the ball off the top with the club's toe.
- 3For longer into-grain grass, use a 52-degree wedge with the ball forward, making a wide swing and releasing the club.
- 4When chipping down-grain, hit the ball approximately 25% softer to account for increased roll.
