Your swing should be very upright with a quick hinge of the wrists. Your weight should be evenly distributed and your swing should continue to accelerate through the ball. Do not shift your weight to the front foot on the downswing as this will also deloft the club.
Flop shots are great for flying the ball over trees, traps, water hazards or any obstruction. Practice this important recovery shot for lower scores.
