Ethan, i am 11 years old, and my name is Jacob Rawl, can you do a video on how to hit a flop shot and tell how to not blade it i dont have enough confidence in my flop shot to hit it please help and please reply, Thank you.
@theJCRballer: Hi Jacob, I think the flop shot is one of the most difficult shots to pull off. Even PGA players can blade the ball during tournaments. So, lots of practice will strongly help. During the winter, I don't play much golf, so my next video will probably be in the spring. Meanwhile, please check out my "Flop Shot" and "Flop to Hoop" videos. Also, please check out my "Short Game Indoor" video, to see how I practice during the winter. ~Ethan~
@myc724 I can teach everyone here a flop shot if you want me to...I am a good flopper and a good all around short game guy...I carry two wedges-at a 52 and 56 degree and hit every shot imaginable with great success...I love to practice so much that I practice shots that I know will never be used but i play them just for the fun of it.
@theJCRballer Ive practiced the flop shot quite abit and the most important thing besides open the face and all the standard stuff is dare to accelerate through the ball, because if swing slightly more than you expect and then quit on it you will probably decel and blade it.
@dburrcarr Quick Answer, I would use a lob wedge for this shot, instead of an iron, for better contact. Preset your weight about 70 percent toward your target. Don't try to scoop the ball up, play it like a normal chip shot. Sorry, school has started, and I've been falling behind on my video schedule. I will try to make a video on this topic. ~Ethan~
really nice swing and it's tough to hit a power fade, but wouldn't you want to hit a fade on a dog leg to the right? still keep it up, i'll see you on the tour on day.
@WackySquirrels Thanks a lot, I will update Ethan when he gets back from school today. My guess is that he is 51" tall and the driver is 41" long. He refused to cut it shorter, because he really likes the new driver even though it is much longer than the idea driver length for his height, 35" (based on US Kids Golf). - Ethan's Dad
@myc724, don't listen to Wacky. Your son's hands are exactly where they should be. Moe Norman, the greatest ball-striker of all time, stood even further from the ball.
