Never realized you could do this type of shot in 2 different ways. Thank you John! Hopefully this will get me to break 90!!!!!

Full is still risky but that straightarm shorty is a game changer! Excellent!

Love the flop shot, it’s almost a feel shot when I pull it off successfully. Last week during a tournament with my sandwich, I was hitting the dreaded “hosel rocket”. I was able to figure out how to correct that during my play. However, I never wanted to use the flop shot when appropriate because I was afraid of the same result. How can you overcome that fear and correct the outcome when attempting a flop shot?

Good Job, John. Thanks very much. Like the way spoke of the right-hand action. Very helpful for me.
