Anyone heard of a flop wedge before? If so, do you have one/use it?

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

A flop wedge is any wedge you use to hit a flop shot. I short very high soft landing shot with almost no roll. It is hard to do for beginners. Any wedge 60 degree or greater is ofter referred to as a flop wedge. Since the purpose for carring one and using one is to hit a flop shot.

I disagree, I have a lob wedge, not just to hit flops, but to hit any shorter shots, chips, pitch, full swing. Granted sometimes those short shots include the flop, but very very rarely.

Here's what I play:

      When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
