Re: Clicking in left wrist

My question would be is this flop shot of yours working for you? If it's working, just keep practicing what you are doing. Don't get real involved in swing mechanics with this shot. Just visualize the shot, and hit it.

I have a flop shot that I am quite proud of. It has saved me many strokes over the years. I have no fear of using it with my 9i to my LW when close to the green. I have even used a longer clubs when I needed some height, and distance. My favorites are my AW, and LW. All I can tell you is I square the club up with my target, I open my stance, and shoulders up, and then swing along my toe line. I honestly have know idea what my hands/arms are doing. It's a shot I practice a lot, and is pretty much the same swing mechanics I use getting out of bunkers, and some rough.

The only real issue I pay attention to is what kind of lie I have to deal with. Some lies will not allow for a flop shot. Sometimes I might weaken my grip to help get some extra height when needed in certain situations. The other thing I do is I am not afraid to swing the club. A tentative swing won't work with a flop shot. As for ball position, that is where practicing this shot comes in handy. Mine is roughly in the middle of my open stance, but I have seen others play the same shot with different ball positions. Find what works best for you.

Now I am wondering what my hands, and arms are doing.........lol GJS
