Play it lower off a tight firm lie into the wind

Off a tight, firm lie on a slope, with the wind and up a slope, Dan does not feel he can clip a high 'release two' under the ball, so he plays a lower shot with his 56 degree. The tight, firm lie, the wind, and the upslope together call for a lower ball flight.
