Thanks for the videos.  I know how to play these shots and use them often.  I just couldn't get the picture of a flop shot on tight lies.  However... if I'm trying a flop shot on a tight lie, I'm probably screwed anyways!  ha!

I guess it's dependent upon how much spin you can get . . .

For instance, my son is pretty okay with flop shots, and when he's targeting for anywhere from 20-60 yards he's taking almost a full swing . The ball pops up with a significant amount of spin on it. The ball backs up from up to 60 yards.

That takes guts.

Guts is right! I can hit a nice 20 yard flop or it goes 120 yards. Hahahaha!


Ditto here. :-D

Kid's have no inhibition, plus they get 4 hours a day to practice with their team mates and challenge each other to do stuff like this. . .

I don't think 60 yards would really qualify as a flop shot.

A 60 yard flop shot would have to go 300 yards in the air. Hahaha


Not that high, maybe 300 feet? IDK, actually.

Certainly higher than the driving range fences.The kids were all hitting flop shots standing less than 30 yards from the fence, and dumping balls into the driving range about 30 yards on the other side of the fence.

Guts, it takes guts. I think one of them actually did a shot like this over some trees on the course to help him birdie a hole to shoot 4 under par for the course?

All the driving range fences I've seen are <50 feet. I don't think Jamie Sadlowski could even get 300ft with a 60* wedge

Probably not. But 50 feet is too low. The one at local course Altadena GC is higher than 50 feet. Maybe 30 yards?

Here's a picture of the old fence to the right, you can judge for yourself. . .

The new one is about 10 feet higher and is steel.

My guess would be 60-70ft for the first photo
