I'm having some troubles when welding upside down (or atleast at an upward angle)

Basically the molten wire turns into a little ball that gets closer back to the tip of the torch and it's difficult to get the melting done at the metal that needs to be welded

Any tips on how to prevent that?

Oh... this is on a MIG-welder with gas
