Master the Lob Shot Today
Summary
Every skilled golfer, especially those on the PGA or LPGA Tour, excels at hitting a lob or flop shot. These shots, typically played from around 30 yards with a 56 or 60-degree wedge, can be risky. However, when executed correctly, they can significantly lower your scores.Why Learn the Lob Shot?
Most scratch and low-handicap golfers agree that judging distance is easier when the ball rolls on the ground. However, modern golf course designs often require shots that navigate over sand traps, water hazards, or tight pin locations. Mastering the lob shot enables you to get your ball close to challenging holes, essential for achieving low scores.Setting Up for Success
- Target Alignment: Aim the clubface directly at your target.- Open Stance: For right-handed golfers, position your feet, hips, and shoulders open (pointed left of the target). Left-handed golfers should point right.
- Ball Position: Place the ball off the heel of your front foot. Maintain the loft by keeping the grip centered, avoiding leaning the shaft towards the target.
Executing the Lob Shot
1. Core and Torso Movement: Rotate your torso similar to a full swing but at a reduced rate. Cock your wrists early, forming an "L" shape with your left arm and the shaft (for right-handed players).2. Backswing: Keep your arms aligned with your feet, hips, and shoulders on the backswing rather than swinging back from the target.
3. Forward Swing: Rotate back to the target, allowing your arms to align with your stance. Ensure the clubface remains open, with the heel hitting the ball before the toe.
Finishing Strong
Your finish should mirror a full swing, with your torso rotated and weight on the toe of your back foot. Keep the clubface open by preventing your right forearm from crossing over the left. Maintain this position until the ball lands on the green.Practice Tips
