Parachutes made simple Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

One of the nicest shots when it comes to wedge play is the flop shot, but it's also one of the most dangerous shots. Now everyone would love to play it, but not everybody is brave enough to commit to the speed and the positively of getting the ball up in the air really, really quickly, landing, a short distance, nice and soft, but you don't have to be as brave as you think. If you go, we could call it the cheap way I want to make it simple.

So you don't have to put as much risk into your flop shot. Here's how we're going to do it. If I was to take my normal chipping in setup, I would have a narrow stance with half the pressure more on my left leg and the club would sit more this way. What I'm going to do to execute this easy flop shot is I'm going to open the club face to expose the bounce I'm going to move my feet around in a circle to the right. So that opens my feet a little bit. And I'm going to go a little bit wider, not super wide, but just a little bit wider.
