Golf is a game of clubs and balls. Using the club, you have to put the ball into the holes taking as few hits as possible.  The golf field is full of green with hazard here and there. You can encounter some of them in the game. Flop shot is a great way to get rid of this obstacle. I am going to discuss broadly and step by step, how to hit a flop shot perfectly. I hope it will improve your game and make you a better player. Let’s get to it:

Golf Flop Shots or in other word Golf Lob Shots are a special shot in Golf. It is a kind of short pitch shot which is played with a very high-lofted wedge to make the highest height of the ball’s path. This Lob wedge shots’ target is to throw the golf ball on a high-curving trajectory while precipitously up and precipitously down so that upon landing on the green the ball stop fast with a very slight roll.

The main scheme of this shot is to regulate the distance of the golf ball rolling after landing by making a specially high shot. Or, you can say through this shot you can control the distance of the ball using a high curve shot instead of using a backswing. According to most players when it comes to controlling the distance, the trajectory is more trustworthy than backswing.

Usually, this shot is played with a high-lofted Wedge named Lob Wedge-hence the name ‘Lob Shots’. A lob wedge is made with 60-64 degrees of loft to play Flop shots. Though lob shots can be played with other wedges upon certain fixes, like laying out the club face wide open. But if you want the best result, then, lob wedges are the best option.
