Hi! I am Jason Wyatt head golf professional here at Sunningdale Golf and Country Club
and on behalf of ExpertVillage.com, I am here to show you lefties how to hit a flop shot.
This is probably one of the most exciting shots in golf pulled off by people like Phil
Micholson who hit the gorgeous shots at the Masters. I am going to show you how to hit
those today. What we are going to do is we are going use what is called a lob wedge,
mine is 58 degrees, they come 60, 64 degrees, so make sure if you are going to try this
shot, you have a lob wedge, club a golf ball here when we hit these shots, I have a bunker
in front of me, I got to carry the bunker and I do not have much screen to work with,
so I want to land the ball nice and soft, so I will use a lob wedge here, different
from chipping, we are going to put the ball forward in our stance now, I am going to open
my body to the target, so the golf club goes down first, and I will open my body to the
target and the ball is forward my stance, now something a little different is I want
to swing so that my golf club works with the same line as my body as facing, so I have
got to cut across it and in cutting across the golf ball, I have got to pop it up in
the air, so once again club goes down, balls forward in my stance, I grip down club faces
now open, I am going to swing along my intended line of my body and the ball should pop right
up in the air.
If you work on those little tips you will hit better and higher percentage shots.
