How To Hit Very High Shots Around The Green by Tom Stickney Tom Stickney - A Top 100 Golf Teacher Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

I want to talk today about everybody's favorite shot the flop shot. You know we all see Mickelson get around here he opens a blade and it's his big ole shot goes way up in the air and just lands like you drop a cat on the green I mean just stops dead. So I am going to show you how to hit that shot what we're going to do we're going to play the ball up towards our left foot a little bit we're going to open the club just a little bit and point the butt of the club at your belt buckle right here. So we want to make sure that we have kind of a champagne glass balanced on the face.

So what we're going to do ball is forward we open the blade handles back all we're going to do set the club slide it under the ball keep that champagne glass balanced and finish. So here we go ball forward open the club but the club it's a belt loop set the club balance the champagne glass here we go and when you do that you're going to see that ball came out really soft and it landed very soft that is a flop shot. Now I took a very small swing because this flop shot isn't very long if I want to hit a longer one obviously I'm a take a bigger harder golf swing so you're going to have to experiment with how big your swing is in order to know how far you're going to carry it but if you'll do that you'll be the Phil Mickelson of flop shots every time.
