Tips For a Better Golf Flop Shot

Tips For a Better Golf Flop Shot

A flop shot is part of a golfer's short game usually out or over a hazard. The lay of the ball and distance to the hole are important factors in making a good shot. If you are not getting the results you need I have a few tips that might help.

If you are releasing your hands through impact with the ball, like a normal swing, you are probably going to hit dirt or blade the ball. To fix this you should place your club forward of the center of the ball, keeping your club face open, making sure the butt of the club is pointed at your crotch. Keep your stance a little wider then usual and this will help in keeping the face of your club open as it glides under the ball.

Use a normal backswing, but keep the club face pointing up from start to finish. If you need the ball to go higher or a shorter distance widen your stance a little and increase the speed of your swing slightly.

No matter the distance you will need to center your weight, if you transfer your weight one way or another it can cause you to close the face of your club making it almost hopeless for a nice sweet flop. Also try to remember that if you let go of the club head and don't keep it pointing up it will be extremely hard to get the kind of lift you want. Try these tips the next time you are out on the links and you will be impressed with the nice arching shot you make to get out of the rough or over a hazard.
