Flop Shot

A high, soft-landing shot played with a lob wedge and open club face, designed to carry obstacles and land softly with minimal roll, particularly useful around greens with limited landing area. Flop shots require precise technique, confidence, and commitment to execute successfully due to their high-risk nature. Understanding flop shot technique and appropriate situations helps golfers add versatility to their short game repertoire. Professional golfers use flop shots strategically when conventional shots won't work effectively. Mastering flop shots requires extensive practice and understanding of club face manipulation.
