Daily Video Tips
Any suggestions for the senior player who has lost some flexibility but is still interested in this technique.
thanks - good information. however when I try this shot I often blade the ball - so how do you avoid this? I assume it relates to weight shift. thanks
Might be the ball position is too far forward in your stance
thanks
So what club are you using? Would be helpful if you gave us more information.
Flop shots are normally done with the highest lofted club in your bag.... this would be your sand wedge or the aptly named LOB wedge....
Big keys not mentioned - big hinge in the backswing and turn your body fully toward the target.
Hey Blair, thank you very much. You explained that very clear. Have a great day Michael.
Hi Chris, the bag drill is hardly ever used anymore, thanks. I believe I will purchase one very soon.
Blair’s step-by-step explanation was great and so easy to understand. Now time to practice it!
Is that Mission Inn? El Campeon?
