When should you flop a shot?
The flop shot is a specialty shot in golf, typically played in order to get the ball over a hazard (such as a bunker) between the golfer and the flagstick; or from just off the green when the golfer is short-sided and needs the ball to stop very quickly once it lands on the putting green.
What 3 wedges should I carry?
Know your pitching wedge loft. If it’s 45 degrees or less, add three more wedges that are spaced apart by no more than 4-5 degrees each. So generally think about putting in a gap wedge that’s 48 or 50 degrees, a sand wedge that’s between 54 and 56 degrees, and a lob wedge that’s between 58 and 60 degrees.
Is 8 degrees of bounce a lot?
Clubs with bounce of less than 8 degrees are considered “low bounce” wedges, according to Publinks Golfer. Lob, pitching and gap wedges usually have the lowest bounce of all wedges, making them a good selection for tight lies, wet sand and hard turf.
Can you hit a flop shot with a sand wedge?
To hit a flop shot you should use your lob wedge, sand wedge, or your wedge that has the most loft. Starting with your setup, your stance should be slightly open. This will help make your swing path slightly outside-in which will help to get the most loft possible and get the ball up in the air quickly.

When do you have a shifted purpose flop?
The Shifted Purpose Flop: “They looked engaged, but boy, was I wrong.” Most of the time, the lesson flop comes as a gradual realization. Students look engaged, they act engaged, and they’re saying (mostly) the right things, so they go off to do work. However, when you check in with your students, they don’t get it.
