| Be at one with the chip and run, it will be the shot you play the most.
The flop shot isnt so bad, can be risky especially if you thin the ball.
Open your sand iron or your lob wedge right up, make sure you have a wedge with very little or no bounce otherwise you will be in thin city. The ball should be positioned on your front foot. Keep the weight forward.
You should be aiming left of your target, so that the completely open wedge is square on to your target.
Then make a normal wing, not too much wrist cock, keeping the weight forward. The ball should pop up nicely.
I generally use this shot all the time in bunkers.
Playing the chip and run with check...dangerous shot, dont learn how to play it in competitions lol.
OK, ball position - right in the back of your stance, almost outside the stance.
Weight very much forward, hold your wedge against the back of the ball, the wedge will naturally close, then as you swing, make a steep upward stroke, and as your decend keep moving more weight forward.
The idea is that a sharp decending blow on the ball will introduce check spin.
This is quite a difficult shot to master.
Hope that helps.
