Transcript: Flop Shot

Golf Tips
Episode: “Flop shot”

Joe Beck: Here is the situation, we are going to have to hit this ball, high into the air, and let it land on the green like a butterfly with sore feet, and have it stop close to the hole. It’s not pretty but I think we can do it.
The way you hit this shot, you have to put a lot of elevation on it. So in setting up you want to play the ball slightly forward in your stance, have a little bit of a wider stance to get a good base. And then you’re going to make a normal swing with the club face slightly open. You want to move the club about the same speed as you move your body. Watch this.
That’s what I am talking about.

Key points:
1. Ball forward in stance
2. Wide stance
3. Open club face
4. Rotate club with body
