Draw an uphill greenside chip up the slope
On an uphill greenside lie you want to shallow the club and work with the slope, swinging a little more in-to-out with a draw feel rather than into the slope. Set the ball position on the left heel (for a right-hander), keep weight slightly forward of the lower body but tip the shoulders back a little, and drop the right foot back while aiming fractionally right of target. With not too much wrist hinge, swing low-to-high up the slope with a release more like a two, letting the clubface turn over for the draw.
