    thats what hes talking about

  3. acershund Says:

    There are 4 basic pitches- pinch, cut pinch, lob, cut- lob. The lob shots are riskier.. especially the cut lob where the club goes under the ball. The risk is whiffing it or shanking it by catching it on the hosel and thereby trapping it. You reduce the risk by heavy practice under a variety of conditions.

    I only recently worked out how to make this sort of shot happen. Key for me was to make sure I hit down on the ball and kept my full follow through, even if only a 30% backswing. I think before I was just try to lift the ball gently with the club and a duffed it every time. lol

    lol

  8. rabbitts3 Says:

    can you use a attack wedge club i think it is an 56 degrees??

  9. admtutt Says:

    Use The Floppy ball to practice this shot.

  10. MathewGolf25 Says:

    With a 60 degree wedge the flop shot is actually very easy

  11. lhsdevils Says:

    under the ball so it gets high in the air and lands softer without much roll

  12. fallsgolf Says:

    set up what Joe said then HIT DOWN the ball.
    try it.

    lol

  14. SUbball10 Says:

    ya do you want to hit under the ball or hit down at the ball?

  15. kady7869 Says:

    When hitting the flop shot, do you hit down on the ball or hit under the ball? The lesson shown in the video doesn’t say either way.

  16. FairwayJack Says:

    You should use a 60* wedge with milled U grooves and skim milling on the clubface. Also get yourself a groove sharpener too. Lastly you should use a ball with poly-urethane cover.

    But when your playing a flop shot if the ball is sitting up in the grass there´s a big change you´ll fluff it

  18. elusiver8 Says:

    i’ll only play flop if the balls sitting up in the grass.. if u try to play it if it’s sitting in the grass there’s a good chance u’ll hit it thin and fly it to the next tee box…

    You’re all fucked….. That’s what I’m talking about

    I love Joe’s tips, especially the Rockport Stinger. It helps to just cock your wrist forward a bit on that tip.
    As for the flop shot, it can be done, but only on very even grass. You cannot try this out of an uneven grass.

    Mr. Beck’s a great teacher from what I’ve seen on his videos.

    As for the flop shot, it’s so fun to hit. I can try to be like my favorite golfer, Phil Mickelson.

    Pitches go further than flops.

    However, I find the flop shot to be way more effective if it’s played from the green-side rough and you almost never see these guys instructing on how to do it from the rough.

  23. paulthewitt Says:

    a pitch. The flop shot is designed to create backpin and make the ball drop dead on landing. To do this the club face is opened up (as Joe shows), which gives more height but sacrifices distance in the air.

    However, if you watch the PGA tour, you will see some players get it to drop on a coin…even roll back from quite a distance. You just gotta get good at it….which i am not…hence why i’m watching the video in the first place! :P
