Drop to a lower-lofted club on an uphill bunker lie

On an uphill lie in a bunker the instructor changes just one thing: he goes to a lower-lofted club, because the ball comes out on a much higher trajectory that can leave it well short. The lower loft compensates for that and everything else in his setup and swing stays the same.
