Well recently, I tried a new technique that I came up with which is where you have the club angled back for a flop, but when you take it back, you don't break your wrists and I seem to get more consistent contact. It's a weird feeling, but it works. It only works if you really use your core on chips (thanks to stan utley). Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this or if this is actually a real kind of shot. Thanks

I never cock my wrists for chip shots. For pitches I do a little bit. For flop shots I do alot.

Try putting the ball way back in your stance, then hit the flop. It may not go as high, but it will spin like a SOB.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

I have practice the full shot flop shot with my 60 degree wedge and have same par three times at different occasions, however, I do hinge my wrist with a wide open club face.

I have looked at slow motion video of multiple tour players and here is what I see.

They get set at the top, right wrist bent back, left wrist flat, club inline with the target. This relationship of the right arm to the left arm to the body at the top is key.

Now just pivot around spine to the target maintaining the same relationship as at the top until the club is parallel to the ground . This very difficult move is the key reason why tour players are so different from the rest of us. They can maintain that configuration of arms and body while keeping their head and posture steady.

If you perform this move correctly you will be surpised to find that your hips are 30% open to the target line at impact, just like tour players.

i can do it both ways but i find i hit a lot less miss hits with flat wrist i will give you guys something in saying you do get a bit more spin when you cock your wrist's

Also, what you can do is don't hinge your wrists but when you go to impact, you can flip them through.
This works really well.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
