Let the lie choose your loft and release

The lie tells you what shot and angle of attack to use. A full 60-degree lob is difficult here because the ground can give way as the club enters it. Consider a gap wedge with release one and a little draw, letting the toe turn over to work the ball up the slope rather than going high.
