From a lie with the ball below the feet, which statement is most accurate about the resulting trajectory?

• A. It travels higher in trajectory
• B. It travels lower than usual
• C. It travels the same as on level ground
• D. It spins dramatically less

Answer: (A)

With this lie, the ball sits lower than your normal contact point, which tends to deliver more loft to the ball at impact. The setup and swing path from a ball-below-feet position typically increase the dynamic loft, so the ball gets launched higher than it would from level ground. The height gain is the dominant effect you’ll notice, even though other factors like spin can vary with the shot.
