When the ball nestles down in thick rough, it doesn’t fly as far as from a typical lie.
The main thing to guard against with a shot like this is the club bottoming out before it gets to the ball. This will cause the clubface to close and the shot to veer left.
To make good contact, take a club with enough loft (a higher-lofted hybrid is ideal), stand closer to the ball (which allows for a steeper swing) and open your stance (which helps you swing from the outside in). Hold the club a bit tighter in your lead hand, and accelerate through the hitting area.
These adjustments help your club bottom out at the ball and prevent the clubface from shutting.
