Josh Oddy provides a concise guide on mastering the high-lofted flop shot. The tutorial focuses on an open-face setup, wide stance, and maintaining aggressive swing speed to ensure the ball launches vertically and lands softly.
Open the clubface significantly before placing your hands on the grip.
Adopt a wide stance with your weight centered or slightly forward for stability.
Aim your body slightly left of the target to compensate for the open clubface direction.
Commit to an aggressive, full-speed swing even for short distances to slide the club under the ball.
Ensure the clubhead passes the hands through impact to maximize loft and bounce.
