In my opinion, I love hitting flop shots. I only learnt how to do them recently but it has come natural to me and I just enjoy the feel of hitting a high, softly landing shot.

I find that a controlled draw is the hardest shot to play. Although i am a high handicapper, I can hit fades well and every club down till my 5 iron very well...its just the 5 bad shots a round that do me :( lol

So what are your favorite shots and the shots that you find hardest to play?

It will be interesting to read some of the responses.

My favorite is the second shot on a par 5. Notwithstanding a duck-hook into the woods, I'm probably in range to get home in two, usually with the 3 wood. And of course, the thrill of actually pulling it off.

My hardest is a fluffy sand shot. I'll hit one heavy, the next one real thin, there's no consistency. If it's even close to sitting up I've resorted to chipping it out.

Favorite shot: 4i between 150-175 yards. Somehow it just comes easily and the swing is a perfect speed.

Least favorite shot: Any wedge outside 30 yards and inside 70 yards. That distance range just happens to be the bane of my existence.

Favorite shot: Tight bunker shot using the 60

Hardest shot: The low punch fade...I can hit the low punch draw just fine but the fade is tough.

Favorite Shot (other than a 1-footer for birdie): A lay-up 5-iron from the semi-rough, which usually comes off with perfect draw

Least Favorite Shot: A shot between 95-110 yards (my PW goes ~115 on average, whereas my 54-degree goes about ~90 on average... I have no club to fill the gap)

me too! exact same problem, but im working on picking out a 50 deg wedge for the 100-105 yd shot that i always seem to need. and i always seem to get a little too much out of the pw when im trying to hit it soft.

fav shot: any high approach shot from pw-8i (105-140yds). im always going for the pin. whether i should or shouldnt be doing so, but i love seeing divot marks close to the pin.

Favorite shot: 9 Iron from 130-135 yards. Just love my 9 Iron.

Least favorite: Chipping from the fringe of the green. Just a total lack of discipline and control. Working on it the most and hoping to make improvements in 2008.

When I try to hit my PW soft, I usually overcook it or hook it left. Either way, it sucks.

      Day 2: did my Evolver drill in the mirror.  No club, just did the motion. And this time I am confident I am doing it correctly.

      Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.

      Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.

      I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.
