Golf Flop Shots
Reliable Flop Shots
Setup
- Three ways to add loft:
- Twist the face open
- Move the handle back (shaft away from target)
- Lower the hands
- He likes to move shaft back a bit, open face
- Feet close together
- Ball position slightly forward of center
- Get closer to the ball to get more toe interaction, less heel interaction
- Loose grip pressure - 4-5/10
Backswing
- Have to take a long backswing (arms parallel to ground to higher)
- Some hinge in the lead wrist – “cupped and extended”
Release
- Want to feel like club-head is getting further away from you, and wrist is extending, as you start the downswing
- Club-head will get ahead of the hands
- Keys
- At address, you can see two knuckles on lead hand
- At backswing four knuckles
- At release three knuckles
- If you can’t see knuckles you are shutting the club-face
- Try with lead arm only, keep body quiet until you are finishing the swing toward the target
Full Sequence
- Tempo should feel slow
